Vehicle Description
Chassis No. VF9SP3V31JM795087
In the early 2000s, the automotive landscape witnessed the revival
of the Bugatti marque under Volkswagen's stewardship. The result
was the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, unveiled in 2005 as the first
production car to surpass 1,000 PS (987 horsepower) and exceed 400
km/h (249 mph), essentially birthing the modern "hypercar" segment.
The Veyron shattered every preconception of how fast or how
extravagant a road car could be, all while disproving the notion
that a truly fast car must be unruly or spartan, remaining
civilized enough to drive every day. As this technical tour de
force assumed an almost mythical status, crowning its successor
seemed an almost impossible task.
Yet Bugatti achieved exactly that at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show
with the debut of the Chiron-named like its predecessor after a
pre-war Bugatti racing driver. A hypercar that carried the marque's
ethos of baroque excess and technical perfection to new extremes,
the new model shared the Veyron's fundamental architecture-a
mid-mounted W16 and all-wheel drive-but with reportedly 95-percent
new components beneath the surface. Like its predecessor, the
Chiron was produced in strictly limited numbers; over an eight-year
production run concluding in 2024, only 500 examples were
built.
The heart of the Chiron was Bugatti's 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged
W16 engine tuned to deliver 1,479 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of
torque-a colossal output channeled through a seven-speed
dual-clutch gearbox and intelligent all-wheel-drive. Launch control
and specialized drive modes allowed the Chiron to catapult from
zero to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds, with an electronically limited
top speed of 261 mph. Such performance was made usable by a suite
of technological innovations: a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque
chassis with immense rigidity, an adaptive suspension, and a
sophisticated stability control system to maintain traction. Active
aerodynamics, including a hydraulically adjustable rear wing that
also acted as an air brake, ensured high-speed stability and
braking deceleration.
Equally compelling was the Chiron's exterior form, conceived under
design director Etienne Salome, who imbued the car with artful
minimalism that distilled its lines into a seamless carbon-fiber
exoskeleton. Drawing on the tradition of master artisans who
crafted Bugatti's prewar masterpieces such as the Type 57 SC
Atlantic-the Chiron's exterior was sculpted in the wind tunnel, yet
hand-finished by master fabricators. The signature horseshoe grille
flowed organically into jewel-like LED headlights, while the bold
C-bar intakes not only funneled cooling air but also cut a dynamic
side profile. Inside, a single-piece leather-wrapped dashboard
swept into the center console in a continuous gesture, punctuated
by exquisitely hand-stitched upholstery, machined metal controls,
and digital displays. Every surface married bespoke coachbuilt
handiwork with ergonomics to cocoon occupants in an environment as
beautiful as it was functional.
The 2018 Bugatti Chiron offered here is a spectacular two-owner
example that embodies all the grandeur of its breed. It was
commissioned in a truly dramatic specification of Full Black
Exposed Carbon Fiber exterior-a jaw-dropping $315,000
option-contrasted by the Light Blue Sport finish accenting the
underside of the rear wing and the brake calipers. The iconic
"horseshoe" grille surround and taillights were rendered in
Nocturne black, as were the striking Caractere wheels-themselves a
$62,000 option before the additional $9,300 Nocturne paint
treatment. Neatly matching these Nocturne touches are Black
Anodized exhaust tips, rounding out the exterior options for an
additional $15,000.
Inside, the cabin was adorned with the Premium Leather & Carbon
Package ($62,000), swathing occupants in two-tone Beluga
Black/Light Blue Sport hides and exposed carbon fiber, further
elevated by the $31,000 Comfort Package seats. A Light Blue
Sport-trimmed gearshift provided a final pop of contrast, while
each headrest bore the embroidered "EB" logo for $5,600-bringing
the total in bespoke extras to over half a million dollars, a
testament to the uncompromising specification of this exceptional
hypercar.
Delivered new to the United States in early 2018 through Bugatti's
authorized dealer in La Jolla, California, the Chiron's digital
window sticker shows that it commanded an MSRP cresting $3.5
million dollars when new. The accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle
History Report shows that the car was first registered to a private
owner in Montana in May 2018, showing just 271 miles at the time.
The Bugatti was subsequently registered in California in 2020 prior
to joining the current Utah-based caretaker in mid-2021, having
just eclipsed 1,000 miles at the time of acquisition.
Now showing just 4,379 miles since new at the time of cataloging,
this superb hypercar remains in excellent condition, and benefits
from a recent service courtesy of Bugatti Beverly Hills. Completed
in June 2025 in preparation for the sale, the extensive
warranty-covered service included a complete gearbox replacement to
address check engine and gearbox warning lights, replacement of the
trunk lid struts, a certified multi-point vehicle inspection, and
tire pressure adjustment to factory specifications. The Chiron
remains under its extended factory warranty until 21 November 2026,
offering no-cost maintenance to the new owner for over a year.
This breathtaking Chiron affords an opportunity to acquire a
modestly driven example of Bugatti's epoch-defining hypercar in a
bespoke, likely one-of-one specification. It also stands among the
very last quad-turbo W16-powered Bugattis-a lineage that reached
its conclusion in the limited-run Mistral roadster after nearly two
decades of record-shattering performance. Chassis 795087 stands as
a fitting finale to this legendary powerplant, which is sure to
impress its new owner with its exceptional performance.
