Juliana claimed the Chiron before Ron had finished reading the spec sheet, and by the end of the day she still thought it was worth every one of its roughly fifteen thousand euros. Ron disagreed — not about whether the Chiron is the better car, but about whether “better” is the question that actually matters here.
Monaco’s fastest fleet, on its slowest streets
There’s a real irony at the center of this test: Monaco is one of the only cities on earth where this fleet lists a car with a genuine 420 km/h top speed, and also one of the worst places on earth to ever approach it. The principality’s public roads are tight, low-speed, dense with pedestrians and low-slung supercars doing the exact same slow crawl, and heavily monitored — a hypercar here does almost all of its work parked outside a hotel or crawling along the harbor, not stretching its legs. That’s not a criticism of the cars. It’s the actual point of this test: when raw capability can barely be used, what’s left to argue about is everything else.
Three drivers, three interpretations of “everything else.” Juliana takes the Bugatti Chiron 110, and argues the numbers alone settle it. Ron claims the Lamborghini Revuelto — the naturally aspirated V12 he’s been vocal about since it beat him fair and square at Stelvio. The Ferrari SF90 Spider goes to whoever’s running the test, and makes the pragmatic case nobody else wants to make out loud.
The numbers, for anyone who wants them before the story
| Bugatti Chiron 110 | Ferrari SF90 Spider | Lamborghini Revuelto | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seats | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Engine | 8.0L quad-turbo W16 | 4.0L twin-turbo V8 hybrid | 6.5L NA V12 hybrid |
| Horsepower | 1,500 hp | 1,000 hp | 1,015 hp |
| 0–100 km/h | 2.4 sec | 2.5 sec | 2.5 sec |
| Top speed | 420 km/h | 340 km/h | 350 km/h |
| Rental (per day) | ~€15,000 | ~€2,200 | ~€2,000 |
| Drivetrain | AWD | AWD | AWD |
Every figure here comes straight from this fleet’s own listing — no hedging required on this one, which is unusual for a test in this series. The gap that matters isn’t in the specs; it’s the roughly 7x price difference between the Chiron and either of its rivals.
First stint: through town, where the price gap actually shows up
The SF90 went first, threading through Monaco’s tighter streets with the kind of composed, slightly clinical confidence a modern hybrid AWD hypercar is built to deliver — instant electric torque off the line at the exact low speeds this city actually allows, a car that never once felt like it was being wasted despite never approaching a fraction of its real capability. “This is the car that makes the most sense for what Monaco actually lets you do with it,” the narrator said over the radio. “That’s not a small thing.”
Ron’s Revuelto followed through the same streets, and the difference he kept coming back to wasn’t power — it was sound. Even crawling along the harbor at city speed, the naturally aspirated V12 underneath the hybrid assistance does something a turbocharged engine simply can’t: it stays alive and vocal at low revs in a way that makes even a slow lap of the marina feel like an occasion. “You don’t need to be going fast for this car to be doing something,” Ron said. “The SF90’s turbos need boost to feel alive. This doesn’t.”
Second stint: the marina straight, and Juliana’s case for the number that doesn’t get used
The Chiron came through last, along the short straight past the marina where superyachts outnumber pedestrians — and even at a fraction of its real pace, Juliana’s argument held: 1,500 hp and a quad-turbo W16 unlike anything else in this fleet is an engineering statement independent of whether the road ever lets it prove itself. “You’re not paying for what you’ll use here,” she said. “You’re paying for what exists under you, whether or not today’s the day you use it. That’s a legitimate thing to pay for. It’s just not the same thing as value.”
A bit of context on each car
The Bugatti Chiron 110 remains this fleet’s single most extreme listing by a wide margin — a genuine hypercar in the truest sense, not a supercar with a bigger number attached.
The Ferrari SF90 Spider pairs a twin-turbo V8 with plug-in hybrid assistance for a combined 1,000 hp, and it remains the most usable of the three for a driver who actually wants to exploit some of that output on the right road.
The Lamborghini Revuelto is covered in full in its own spotlight — the naturally aspirated V12 flagship that finished third at Stelvio on weight alone, and the car Ron has been arguing for ever since.
Practical considerations
None of these three cars are built for Monaco’s actual speed limits, and that’s genuinely fine — most guests who book a car like this in Monaco are booking presence and occasion, not a chance to use the top-speed figure. All three are confirmed available in Monaco.
Our call: the Lamborghini Revuelto. Not the fastest, not the most expensive, not even the cheapest — but the most complete argument for what actually matters once raw capability can’t be the deciding factor: a naturally aspirated V12 with real character at any speed, real hybrid engineering, at under a seventh of the Chiron’s price. Choose the Bugatti Chiron 110 if the number itself is the point, or the Ferrari SF90 Spider if you want the most exploitable performance of the three on an actual road.
All three are standalone rentals out of Monaco. Get in touch and we’ll set one up — and talk honestly about which of the three actually fits what you’re looking for.
