For years, Bugatti has contemplated broadening its product line beyond its iconic hypercars. While some advocate for a hypersedan or five door fastback, others suggest a hyper crossover or SUV to rival Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Lamborghini.

No doubt, the deployment of advanced technologies will drive greater efficiencies…
The oft-overlooked hauling capabilities of performance oriented cars can be surprisingly impressive. While many focus on speed and handling, a fast wagon’s practicality is equally important. A sedan or coupe would suffice for those primarily interested in performance, but a wagon offers the best of both worlds. The BMW M3 Touring, filled to the brim with potatoes, demonstrates the versatility of such vehicles. A Polish YouTuber, known for his love of luxury cars, likely performed this stunt for internet fame.
