Bugatti’s new Online car configurator has a color called Rape Yellow, umm…Is that odd?



Looking to customize your Bugatti? No? Well chances are it’s because it’s a car that would require quite a few of us to scrimp and save for a few thousand years just to own it let alone customize it. But let’s just say you’re one of those artistic people and would simply love designing a custom Bugatti anyways, their Online car configurator is just what the doctor ordered. You can choose from a wide… wide range of colors even one as oddly named as “Rape Yellow” (???) You’ll even be able to add those colors options to smaller details of the car like the air intakes. If you think that’s an inappropriate name, you’re not alone but the name actually comes from a yellow flower known in Latin as Brassica napu, from which we get rapeseed oil, hence the name. Irrespective of how the name was derived, it’s still a little too weird to say out loud in public. Imagine going into a store and asking a sales person – ‘Do you have this in Rape Yellow? I need it to go with my Fuchsia Pink interiors and my Cherry Red carpet.’
