The Bugatti Chiron is a mid-engine two-seater sports car developed and manufactured in Molsheim, France by French automobile manufacturer Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. as the successor to the Bugatti Veyron. The Chiron was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show on 1 March 2016. The car is based on the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept car.
The car is named after the Monegasque driver Louis Chiron. The car shares the name with the 1999 Bugatti 18/3 Chiron concept car.
The main carry over component from the Veyron is the 7,993 cc (8.0 L) quad-turbocharged W16 engine, though it is heavily updated. The engine in the Chiron has a peak power output of 1,103 kW (1,500 PS; 1,479 hp) at 6,700 rpm and 1,600 Nm (1,180 lbft) of torque starting from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm.
The engine in the most powerful variant of its predecessor, the Veyron Super Sport generates 220 kW (299 PS; 295 bhp) less than the new Chiron, while the engine in the original Veyron generates 367 kW (499 PS; 492 hp) less power.
Like its predecessor, the Veyron, the Chiron utilises a carbon fibre body structure, independent suspension and a Haldex All-wheel drive system. The carbon fibre body has a stiffness of 50,000 Nm per degree.[15]
The Chiron can accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 2.4 seconds according to the manufacturer, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 6.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) in 13.6 seconds. In a world-record-setting test at the time in 2017, the Chiron reached 400 km/h (249 mph) in 32.6 seconds, after which it needed 9.4 seconds to brake to standstill.
The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to 420 km/h (261 mph), or 375–380 km/h (233–236 mph) without the specific key, for safety reasons, mainly arising from the tyres as the manufacturer concluded that no tyre currently manufactured would be able to handle the stress at the top speed the Chiron is capable of achieving.Independent testing by an owner has indicated that the Chiron can easily attain its limited top speed. Mixed fuel consumption is 22.5 L/100 km (12.55 mpg‑imp; 10.45 mpg‑US).
Variants
At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show,
Bugatti unveiled the track focused iteration of the Chiron dubbed the
Chiron Sport. Mechanically, the car is identical to its regular
counterpart generating 1,500 PS (1,103 kW; 1,479 hp) from a quad-turbocharged W16 engine
but is 18 kg (40 lb) lighter due to the extensive use of carbon fibre
and utilises a stiffer suspension in order to increase the cornering
ability of the car while maintaining its grand touring characteristics.
The steering wheel of the car has also received modifications along with
the introduction of a torque vectoring system to control the power sent
to each wheel of the car for improved handling in tight corners.
Aerodynamic improvements and light weight have been given special
consideration in order to keep the car competitive on the race track.
The Chiron Sport became available in late 2018 for an additional
US$400,000 on the standard Chiron.

The colours of the French flag are present on the wing mirrors, fuel filler cap and on the underside of the rear wing. The brake callipers are finished in blue colour.
The interior of the car is upholstered in blue Alcantara and has the colours of the French flag present on the headrests of the seats, on the back of the seats and on top of the steering wheel. Production will be limited to 20 units.
Chiron Super Sport 300+ (2021–)
On August 2, 2019
Bugatti presented a limited production high performance variant of the
Chiron called the Chiron Super Sport 300+ to owners taking part in the
company's 110th-anniversary tour in Europe. The variant is limited to 30
examples and closely resembles the prototype performing the top speed
record run. Changes include a more powerful engine, increased top speed
and a characteristic paint scheme featuring raw carbon fibre body with
orange stripes, echoing the aesthetics of company's previous top speed
record breaking car, the Veyron Super Sport.
The Super Sport will also be equipped with a top speed limiter, akin to the one found in the standard Chiron. Without the limiter, Bugatti say the car can hit a maximum speed in excess of 483 km/h (300 mph). Bugatti will also prepare the cars of owners who want to take the car to its full potential at the Ehra-Lessien test track. The Super Sport 300+ will be available at a base price of $3.9 million with first deliveries expected in mid-2021.
Bugatti La Voiture Noire

The La Voiture Noire is a one-off special introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Chiron, the design of the car harkens back to the Type 57 SC Atlantic
and is a celebration of the company's distinctive design history. The
car has a hand-built body made from carbon fibre designed by Bugatti
designer Etienne Salomé which has an elongated nose (similar to that on
the Divo)
and an elongated rear section. Other notable features include unique
wing mirrors, LED taillight strip and wheels. Unlike the original, the
car retains the mid-engine layout.
A trim piece running from the front of the car to the rear spoiler recalls the dorsal fin present on the Type 57 SC. The car features a floating windscreen and has masked A pillars.
The La Voiture Noire will be powered by the same 8.0-litre quad turbocharged W16 engine from the Chiron having the same power output figures but the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the all-wheel-drive system are heavily revised in order to allow for a more relaxed driving experience. Softer dampers and a revised chassis contribute to the factor. The car features six exhaust pipes recalling the innovative design of the past.
Performance figures remain unknown but the company states that the car is likely to have a lower top speed and acceleration times as compared to the Chiron due to its Grand Touring nature. The car was sold for a price of €11 million, making it one of the most expensive cars built to date.
A statement made later by the company confirmed that the car on display was a concept car and that the final product would take two and a half years more to complete. The show car had electric motors instead of an engine in order for easy maneuverability.
Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo
The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is a single-seater concept car developed by Bugatti and was manufactured in Molsheim, Alsace, France. The car was unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, a month after its teaser trailer was released, which was titled #imaginEBugatti.It was built under the Vision Gran Turismo project, and with its looks, influenced the Bugatti Chiron's design language. The color scheme of the car is based on the 1937 Le Mans-winning Bugatti Type 57G Tank racer.
Only one Vision Gran Turismo exists, Currently owned by Saleem
Waleed Jr. ,The car's price is estimated to be from US$5,160,000 up to
US$18,000,000.Specifications
Designed by Achim Anscheidt, Sasha Selipanov, Etienne Salome, and Frank Heyl, the Vision Gran Turismo is a two-door concept car combining the looks of a road car and a LMP1 prototype. The Vision Gran Turismo belongs under the project of the same name.
The Vision Gran Turismo contains an 8.0 L quad-turbocharged W16 engine, heavily modified. The top speed has never been calculated in a real circuit, but using a virtual Circuit de la Sarthe simulator, the approximate top speed is 447 km/h (278 mph). A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is used, which delivers the power to all four wheels, therefore making the Vision Gran Turismo an all-wheel drive car.
The car uses the pre-production Bugatti Chiron chassis #6.
The car also uses a carbon fiber structure for the body, and independent suspension.
Many aerodynamic features, primarily carbon fiber, are present along the Vision Gran Turismo body, with a LMP1-style shark fin and active rear wing, large front splitter, side air intakes, multiple NACA ducts, and DTM-style dive planes.
Ownership
Taking the Vision Gran Turismo to service would cost the owner US$20,000, and one set of Michelin spare tires for the Vision Gran Turismo costs the owner US$93,000.
The Vision Gran Turismo also contains a crate for the owner's
manuals, keys, and parts. In it contains a center lock wheel nut
remover, jumper cables, four remote keys (two keys for suspension
adjustment, two keys for lights and spoiler adjustments), antenna piece,
and an owner's manual.
Only two people in the world have purchased and owned the Vision Gran Turismo since its unveiling. The car was originally bought by Prince Badr bin Saud of Saudi Arabia through a secret bid, along with a Bugatti Chiron that contained the same color scheme as the Vision Gran Turismo.The car was then subsequently sold to Hezy Shaked, Chairman and CSO of Tillys.
Roomers(was found online but i cant prove it)
American businessman Hezy Shaked is the new owner of the one-off Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept car that was unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show in order to preview the design of the Chiron.
Shaked, the founder of fashion retailer Tillys, recently took delivery of the car which now joins a collection that also includes the first Bugatti Chiron and Lamborghini Centenario Roadster in the United States, as well as a Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1.
Bugatti originally sold the Vision GT concept in 2016 to a Saudi Arabian collector for a rumored $5 million. Shaked is believed to have paid $5.16 million to be the second owner
It’s a good thing he has deep pockets
as maintenance of the car is even steeper than that of a regular
Bugatti. According to YouTuber TheStradman, the custom Michelin
racing slicks fitted to the car run $93,000 per set. A basic service,
which requires a technician to be flown out to handle the task, will run
its owner $20,000. The service includes an oil change, a windshield
clean, and a tire pressure check.Power in the concept comes from the same 1,480-horsepower W-16 engine fitted to the Chiron. But the Vision GT is a very different car, and we’re not just talking about the way it looks. For example, there are four remotes used to control numerous functions of the car, such as the lighting, suspension and rear wing height. There's also an antenna which needs to be manually attached to the car, and the wheels come with their own custom center lock key.
What isn’t clear is whether Shaked will be allowed to drive the Vision GT on public roads. It will be a real shame if the car remains locked up never to be seen. After all, it’s one of the most extreme cars Bugatti has ever designed.
Although it wears the modified body of a Chiron, its design was
inspired by the Bugatti Type 57 G Tank racecar that won the 1937 and
1939 24 Hours of Le Mans races. And almost every element of the exterior
is said to be functional, including the impressive rear wing with
supporting fins, as well as the central fin plus the giant NACA duct on
the roof.Reference
