Bugatti Chiron

The Chiron debuted at Geneva 2016 as the Veyron's successor, sharing the carbon-fibre monocoque and W16 architecture but with extensive engine upgrades, new transmission tuning, and revised aerodynamics. Standard Chiron output: 1,479 hp at 6,700 rpm and 1,180 lb-ft from 2,250-6,000 rpm. The Chiron Sport (2018) added 18 kg of weight savings and stiffer dampers. The Chiron Pur Sport (2020) raised the rev limit by 200 rpm, dropped 50 kg, and gave up top speed for cornering ability. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ (2019, limited to 30 cars) is the headline: in August 2019, test driver Andy Wallace recorded 304.773 mph at Ehra-Lessien — the first production car to break 300 mph. Customer Super Sport 300+ cars are limited to 273 mph for tyre safety. Production ended 2022 with the Chiron Profilée and the Mistral roadster following on the same platform. Total Chiron production around 500 cars across all variants. Now firmly collector territory.
