![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
Pininfarina's designs take off with Agusta AW139 Executive Chopper
Pininfarina is responsible for some of the fastest cars ever to grace tarmac, but for some discerning (and obscenely wealthy) customers, enough is never enough. For them, Pininfarina has turned its gaze and considerable talents to the sky with the Pininfarina Edition Agusta AW139 executive helicopter.
The stylish and well-appointed whirly bird features a nine-passenger cabin that'd make a Maybach look like a go-kart. Inside, passengers will find a state-of-the-art entertainment system with two 15-inch monitors, DVD player, satellite navigation, radio, phone and television, eight speakers and, of course, iPod connectivity, plus a dual-zone climate control system, double-layer tinted glass, and what looks to be an unspeakably luxurious wood and leather trim package. The Pininfarina Agusta is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6C-67Cs with digital engine control and has got all the bells and whistles in the cockpit, as well. It's on offer from the Aero Toy Store, and you can bet it's one of the most fitting applications of the "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" pricing motto.

SimCopter ruled! Probably the most buggy game I have ever played, but I spent hours flying around til I got sick from the 3d graphics.

Looks not much different than any midsize Bell, Eurocopter or Agusta...Aerodynamics over Design.

I'm a little unsure about the necessity of satellite navigation.
