Bugatti: The Era of the Chiron Draws to a Close
FINAL PRODUCTION PHASE Due to the high demand for the Bugatti Chiron in the third quarter of 2021, production of the limited edition model of 500 units is now entering its final phase. Some Chiron variants are sold out.
After the Veyron, the 1500 hp Bugatti Chiron quickly established itself as the new benchmark in the hypercar segment. As the fastest production car in the brand's 112-year history, it set new standards in terms of design, technology, engineering and manufacturing.
Four years after the first of the 500 vehicles left the Molsheim workshop, production of the Chiron is now entering its final phase. Only fewer than 40 production slots are still open for the Pur Sport 2 and Super Sport 3 variants.
Success story began at the Geneva Motor Show
Since its unveiling at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Chiron has been an unprecedented success story. Eighteen months after its world premiere, 300 of the limited edition of 500 units had already been sold. The USA became the Chiron's core market and contributed impressive figures to the sales record in the third quarter.
Resumed public events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and exclusive customer and driving events also played a major role in the current sales growth of the Chiron.
Speeds close to the 500 km/h mark
To date, the Chiron has received a host of awards for design and driving characteristics. With a peak output of 1500 hp and a maximum torque of 1600 Nm, the car set itself at the pinnacle of automotive engineering in the 2010s. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds and reaches the 300 km/h mark in 13.1 seconds.
A near-production prototype of the hypercar even broke the magic 300 mph barrier at 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) - a world record that earned the Chiron Super Sport 300+ the status of an undisputed automotive legend. With a completely revised version of the 8-liter W16 engine, the Chiron Super Sport today boasts 1600 hp.
