Aspiring to continue to push the automotive envelope, Bugatti's
engineers were keenly looking to the future and began working on
the Veyron's successor soon after the Veyron itself entered
production. The Veyron's successor would need to be faster and more
technologically advanced than its predecessor, but Bugatti's
engineers would rise to the occasion, and the Chiron upped the ante
in every regard. Named after the famed Monegasque racing driver
Louis Chiron, it was first introduced to the public at the Geneva
Motor Show in 2016.
Having learned numerous lessons with the Veyron through their own
testing as well as customer feedback, Bugatti would use that car as
a starting point and managed to find an additional 300 bhp within
their quad-turbocharged W-16 engine. Electronically limited to 420
km/h, the Chiron is capable of faster speeds but is limited due to
the fact that tires capable of handling higher speeds simply do not
yet exist. It is said that special tires are under development,
which should enable future examples of the Chiron to approach 458
km/h, a previously unheard-of pinnacle of performance that must
truly boggle the mind. Five hundred Chirons are slated for
production and upon the car's unveiling in 2016, one third of the
production run had been spoken for.
Delivered new to its first owner through Bugatti Dusseldorf in
August 2017, this Chiron boasts a brilliant specification, finished
two-tone in Nocturne and Bugatti light blue over a matching
interior in Beluga Black and Bugatti Light blue, the car boasts a
variety of interesting options, including a carbon fibre steering
wheel and centre console, comfort seats and �Classique' style
diamond-cut wheels with blue brake callipers.
Residing in a large collection of supercars with its first owner,
the car has been used sparingly and has accumulated less than 1,800
km since departing Bugatti's Molsheim, France, factory. In October
of 2018, the Chiron returned to Bugatti Dusseldorf where it
received its first annual service which included an oil and brake
fluid change. Having accumulated only a handful of kilometres
since, it remains in virtually as-new condition throughout.
The present gold-standard for hypercars, the Chiron is truly a
worthy successor to the Veyron and shows that Bugatti has a bright
future and continues to build upon the exceptional engineering and
performance that the Veyron pioneered. Offering the very best in
terms of performance, exclusivity and automotive engineering, the
Chiron is the perfect car for someone who wants to have the very
best.
