Actually the 100 would make the Veyron look ugly - not a good idea. | Where is this example located?
It's not Pensacola, but it sure looks like the Naval Aircraft Museum at Pensacola for some reason.

Country: | Looks highly unstable and severely handicapped by engineering reality. Inefficient cooling, a propshaft running between the pilots buttocks, flight controls to account for forward swept wings, non orthogonal prop (for supposed noise reduction, etc.
An engineering nightmare of zero utility.
But she sure is beautiful.

But she sure is beautiful. | The P-39 Cobra that flies near me makes some horrible sounds from its prop shaft (even tho its immaculate) It certainly would not instill confidence in me with the drive under my bum. | |

Country:  | That's probably why you British didn't like the Cobra. The driveshaft is too close to the pilot's best parts. Imagine: There's nothing more macho than a guy in sunglasses and leather jacket. 
But back to the Bugatti: Did it actually fly or is it just a designer's piece? Nice but totally useless in real life.

Krabat | Unfortunately Hitlers quest for living space put a dampner on any record breaking flight with the Bugatti. Their were proposals to make a fighter version of it.
Buggatti also made a train(s?).

I haven't the link but their is a group who intend makie a flying replica. So perhaps it will may finally take flight. A few RC models have flown succesfully.
