//..The Chiron, though, has a speed limiter. Without it, it could reach 285-287mph, Bugatti says.//

I have never understood the reasoning to engineer a car ( which is not a racing car ) to reach speeds of that magnitude

This new Bugatti, like the previous one, are undoubted engineering marvels.
But that is all they are. The have no relevance to cars on the road today whatsoever. They are just (very) rich mens toys.

I wouldn't let Clarkeson near a kids peddle car.
