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.

I actually think most owners are not going to touch the bumper-protectors.
Most people buy those to re-sell them and make a profit, and on a car like that even the stupid protectors having never been removed may matter.

Rich people problems, I guess. More of a not-really-a-problem, though, if easily removed.
