Of this bunch, money aside, I'd take the Bugatti. It's gotta be a blast to drive on real roads.

Just in terms of design it's something else... but in terms of driving, it must be a pure pleasure to be behind the wheel of the Bugatti.

Now that’s a difficult choice @heroldius.

The 6x6 don’t seem to stay up right in Russia. In other words Russians drive them silly lol.
The Bugatti would be the choice back home in England for a picnic. But I think I’d pick the Ford

With the Ford, you won't go unnoticed in the streets 😀
