Custom car visionary Mat Armstrong sits down to dismantle the digital drama surrounding his audacious Bugatti Chiron rebuild. They then shift gears from the rivalry with Rimac CEO Mate Rimac to the surreal reality of being blacklisted by Bugatti for wanting to fix a salvage title car with his own two hands. Mat exposes the fascinating, often absurd world of supercar gatekeeping, where a $20,000 service consists largely of magic tricks and parts often shared with a common VW Passat. They also explore why the world’s most elite car brands are terrified of an underdog with a wrench and why a $400,000 repair bill from the factory is sometimes just a fancy way of saying "we don't want you to see what’s under the hood." BEST MOMENTS "It’s become like a Lionel Messi / Ronaldo situation... we’re both into hypercars, but it’s when the corporate world gets mixed into it that the stories start unfolding." "I can tell you where to get the part [for a Bugatti]... it’s from a Passat. I have them in my desk; I’ll send you them down." "The only reason I’m able to buy these cars is because they’re crashed. That’s the whole reason I’ve got to this point... I’d rather have the peace of mind that I built it than buy an immaculate one off a showroom."
