Hey there,

Ever wondered what it feels like to walk through a Tudor house that is still very much someone’s home? At Coughton Court in the Warwickshire countryside, crenellated stone, recusant stories, Gunpowder Plot echoes, and flower-filled gardens all sit alongside a family that has watched over the place for more than 600 years.

Take a moment to see why this is the kind of historic house that feels alive rather than frozen in time.

🏰 Coughton Court, a Tudor Gem With a Living Legacy

Set in the Warwickshire countryside, Coughton Court is a Tudor country house where one family has guarded the same estate for over 600 years.

🏎️ Bugatti’s Final Bolide Crowns the W16 Legacy

Bugatti’s final Bolide is a 1,600 hp, 40-car track hypercar that turns the legendary W16 into a collectors-only farewell. This feature traces its journey from a “what if” concept to a bespoke final build that belongs on both race circuits and gallery floors.

Key Takeaways:

  • 🔥 Farewell to a W16 Icon: The final Bolide closes Bugatti’s W16 chapter, a 1,600 hp track-only hypercar built around an FIA-grade carbon monocoque.

  • 🚀 Extreme Power-to-Weight: With a 1,450 kg weight and nearly 0.9 kg per hp, it delivers 0 to 100 km/h in 2.17 seconds and 380+ km/h.

  • 🏁 Heritage Proven at Le Mans: Le Mans testing in 2023, with Andy Wallace hitting 350 km/h, showcases the Bolide’s racing roots and the intensity of its development.

One last thing

Coughton Court shows how heritage can remain rooted in a real family’s story rather than become just another museum stop. Welcoming visitors into rooms full of portraits, memorabilia, gardens, and relaxed cafés gives you a way to feel English history, not just read about it on a plaque.

It is the sort of visit that quietly connects past and present and stays with you long after you leave the driveway.
