Imagine your job was to drive hypercars all day. Well, someone has just that.

Each car is a bit different, though, so Jenny first has to note which region a given car has been homologated for, and what options the customer has selected. Each test drive covers about 186 miles, and starts with an on-road portion where Jenny checks pedal weights and responsiveness, steering feel, and listens for any unusual noises. This part of the test also includes a run on a cobblestone road to evaluate the suspension.
Bugatti uses a closed airport runway for high-speed testing, which involves speeds exceeding 186 mph, according to the automaker. Jenny tests the launch control, airbrake, and stability control, and also conducts rapid lane-change maneuvers and a full stop from 124 mph.After that, it's back to Molsheim, where mechanics change the transmission oil and wheels, and attach the car's original underbody.
