Pop on your monacle, Count Homer, Bugatti’s ‘Dynamic Drive Experience’ is now open

Bugatti is virtually inaccessible, not only to you but also to the super-wealthy.

Before you can even plop your chino-covered butt into a Veyron, you have to pass a rigorous background check by the dealership. Essentially, the dealer wants to know if you’re even worth enough to consider buying one.

Sadly, unlike Homer Simpson, you can’t simply pop on a manacle and refer to yourself as a count in order to procure a test drive.

What advantages does this motorcar have over, say, a train, which I could also afford?” – Count Homer

Turns out, though, Bugatti wants to give potential buyers a bit more of an experience than a thorough vetting. The French automaker developed an exclusive driving program called ‘The Dynamic Drive Experience’ for “ultra-high net worth individuals” and “enthusiasts of exclusive super sports cars”, according to Autoweek.

What does such a program entail? Bugatti throws qualified car enthusiast behind the wheel of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse for some close road course driving, as well as some open runway runs, to test the full potential of the ultimate hypercar. In addition to an afternoon runabout, drivers also get access to an actual Bugatti test driver.

The first of these Bugatti clinics took place in Las Vegas last month. Bugatti plans to hold four Dynamic Drive Experience events each year throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Where and when will the next one be? It’s scheduled for in the American southwest in early 2014. So you probably don’t have enough time to make your first several million by then, sorry.

I tried an e-bike for the first time and now I’m hooked
It’s not about being a 'bike person', it’s about finding small upgrades to everyday life

Before this year, I’d never even touched an e-bike before, and the thought of riding one was never on my radar. With life already in constant motion thanks to two toddlers, biking wasn’t something I ever considered adding to the mix.

I’d always assumed e-bikes were for hardcore commuters or serious cyclists, not someone like me. I wasn’t looking for a big lifestyle change. I just wanted a quicker way to get to the park so we’d have more time to play before dinner.

This week in EV tech: Audi exemplifies auto industry’s EV holding pattern

The road to the future runs through the present, and it’s not a straight line. This week, we’re focusing on how Audi is negotiating the twists and turns on the way to an electrified future. EVs are here to stay at Audi, but a gasoline crossover SUV is still the automaker’s bestselling model, and it’s not ready to risk those sales just yet. That’s why the 2025 Audi Q5 received a top-to-bottom overhaul for this model year, bringing its tech features and styling up to date without altering the what has proven to be a very popular package. By maintaining parallel lineups of electric and internal-combustion cars, Audi hopes to give customers more choices. But that doesn’t completely level the playing field. The new Q5 may have yesterday’s powertrain, but Audi isn’t holding back on tech. It features the same electrical architecture, operating system, and three-screen dashboard display as the latest Audi EVs, like the Q6 e-tron. So aside from a little engine noise, there’s little difference in what you can see and interact with from the driver’s seat. It’s not just the infotainment systems. The Q5 and Q6 e-tron are close in size, with similar space for passengers across their two rows of seats. The Q6 e-tron has a bit more cargo space, but not as much as you’d think given the lack of a bulky engine, transmission, and driveshafts. The two SUVs also have similar styling but, having now driven both, we can say that the Q5 is the more pleasant of the two.

More than a difference of powertrain tech
