And there you'll see one of the fastest and most expensive hypercars in the world — a 1,600bhp Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.
This Bugatti is a limited-edition variant of the Chiron, specifically designed to break the 300mph barrier and reach speeds of up to 490.484 km/h (304.773 mph).
This Chiron Super Sport 300+ features extensive aerodynamic enhancements, including a longer tail and air curtains, to manage drag and downforce at high speeds.
But if the Chiron isn't special enough, how about a 950bhp LaFerrari that's powered by a 6.3-litre V12 and uses F1-derived tech and a hybrid system to produce 950bhp.
