The Bugatti Chiron's US-Spec Bumper Is Moderately Upsetting

As you can see from the image above, the rear end of the Bugatti Chiron is quite a sight to behold. With vast mesh expanses, lashings of carbonfibre and one gigantic light bar, it gives the Chrion’s bum a striking aesthetic. An aesthetic which is enhanced with two massive lumps of rubber on US-spec cars.

As revealed by the Chiron on display at the New York Auto Show, US-spec cars will have these wretched carbunkles attached due to US federal bumper regulations. Cars like the Lamborghini Countach and various iterations of the Porsche 911 famously received a similarly nasty exterior treatment due to the rules, which are intended to avert damage during low speed accidents.

Thankfully, the rubber blocks should be fairly easy to remove as it looks like they’re held on by a handful of exposed screws (no doubt a very deliberate decision), so expect every single US Chiron owner to bin the protectors immediately after delivery…

Don’t worry. The chances of us seeing a Chiron on road is as rare as Mew on Pokemon, chances of seeing it with these pads are as rare as a Mewtwo.

But if they all just throw them away it will make them more valuable in the future when the car is a collector item. Just sayin’. Lol, but really. It’s not that big of a deal and they’re not that ugly. Stop freaking out.
