One thing (of the many) that I don't like about new cars is all the plastic under the hood. No worries here on these classic Bugatti motors.

Thanks for sharing.

I would have to agree that I hate the new cars with the plastic covers over the entire engine.

Great shots. I too dislike all the plastic covers on today's cars. What car has a transverse engine but an engine cover which makes it look longitudinal (or vice-versa)?

What's not to love about plastic under the hood?
Look at this shining example! (http://www.autoweb.com/images/2007/Lexus/LS460/400/2007_lexus_LS460_inengine.jpg)

Cool shots.

The reference to plastic...that would cover just about any old engine, not just Bugatti.

The new cars should have a sticker like my PC's power supply:
"No user servicable parts inside"

Sad when you can't even see your own engine!
