Bugatti’s production facility in Molsheim France is
running on full swing as the hypercar maker rolls out 100th unit of its Chiron.
In order to celebrate the grand occasion at the brand’s HQ, the model posed for
photographs with employees and Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann. Mr.
Winkelmann said he found the 100th Chiron pleasing and that it’s dynamic and
elegant in equal measure. More importantly, it showed that Bugatti can
manufacturer highly exclusive vehicles with incredible automobile craftsmanship.
The number 100 Chiron is unique in its own right
with the exterior adorning dark blue carbon in a matte finish shade for the
first time and has red accents inside the cabin accentuated by Italian red
leather. With the special configuration, the Chiron costs € 2.85 million without tax. The 100th milestone vehicle cannot be bought though
as it is reserved already for a customer in the Middle East. Bugatti is
producing an approximate 70 units of the Chiron annually from its factory in
France and only 500 examples will totally be made.
Its successor could come out after four or five
years from now, as Bugatti will manufacture the Chiron until 2023. Bugatti will
surely have its work cut out as the model succeeding both Veyron and Chiron has
a lot resting on its shoulders. The Bugatti Chiron produces 25 per cent more
power than Veyron. The 1,500 hp, 300 more than Veyron SS, is kicked out from
the big 8.0-litre W16 engine with quad turbochargers. Despite sharing same
power unit with Veyron, the engineers fitted new two-stage turbos for minimised
turbo lag and better volumetric efficiency, new intercoolers and fuel injection
systems to send more air into the engine that also resulted in massive torque
figure of 1,600 Nm.
