2017 Bugatti Chiron: The $2.5-million, 1500-hp Son of Veyron
The Veyron replacement you've been waiting for—particularly if you have millions to spare.
FEATURE


Veyron, the supercar king of the hill since its 2005 arrival.

Veyron 16.4 Super Sport currently wears the crown of fastest production car, but the Chiron, named for Monaco-born racer Louis Chiron, should reach 288 mph, assuming you can rent Nebraska.

Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, an actual F-18.

What Might Go Wrong
Octogenarian VW Group supremo Ferdinand Piëch, the driving force behind Bugatti, could keel over, at which point both car and brand might have to stand on their own business merits, something that twice-dead Bugatti has never managed to do.

Estimated Arrival and Price
A recent Piëch-ordered redesign of the door aperture—cutting into the doorsill to ease ingress and egress—pushed back the on-sale date to 2016. When the Chiron does get here, expect to pay $2.5 million, give or take.

I gotta see different angles of the car before I decide if I like it... I'm on the fence about it right now.
I've wondered if VW funded this brand with the intention of the technology trickling down into other VW vehicles

I wonder why Bugatti doesn't enter into motorsports

Perhaps they aren't built for that . . maybe those stats are really only capable of happening in test runs and outside of that they might not have the type of endurance needed to compete in motorsports

yeah perhaps so but nonetheless they would make a nice addition to the WEC or Blancpain even if they only appear at Le Mans or Spa 24 Hrs

Bugatti unveiled a new high-performance supercar at the Geneva Motor Show on Monday.

The French car maker currently produces only four models -- all variations of the famed Bugatti Veyron. The Veyron was introduced in 2005 and the "Veyron 16.4 Super Sport" was named the world's fastest production car by the Guiness Book of World Records in 2013.

But the Veyron era is about to end.

Bugatti says that the new generation, the Chiron, will be a "completely new development." According to the car maker, it'll be faster, more powerful and even more expensive, with a base price of €2.4 million ($2.6 million).

"It is part of human nature to cross boundaries and set new records," Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. President Wolfgang Dürheimer said in a statement. "This striving is also our driving force at Bugatti. The Chiron is the result of our efforts to make the best even better."

The new model will have 1,500 HP to work with, which is 300 HP more than the record-setting Veyron. The Chiron's top speed remains to be seen, but it will be capped at 420 km/h (260 mph) for road use.

Bugatti -- which is part of Volkswagen -- will make just 500 of the first Chiron series, and a third of them have already been sold. The company began giving private presentations of the car to "select customers" last fall, and will deliver the new cars this fall.
