The Hong Kong Gold Coast Motor Festival showcased some 90 cars, from the prized classic and collectors’ cars in the Concours d’Elegance to the highly desirable and latest super and hyper cars, including the electric newcomer Nio EP9 from the Mainland, and the new Bugatti Chiron which made its public Hong Kong debut. The Chiron, perhaps the most powerful, fastest and most luxurious of super sports cars, with a price tag of 2.5 million euros, presented a stark contrast to one of its Molshiem cousins also to be seen here, the by-comparison diminuitive Bugatti Type 13 Brescia. The 16-valve ‘Brescia’ was capable of over 100km/h in the 1920s, the Chiron with four turbochargers, a century on, can go nearly four times as fast, topping 400 km/h!
