2025 Bugatti Chiron L’Ultime

At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show Bugatti revealed a mid-engine two-seater sports car, the Bugatti Chiron. Eight years later and after 500 cars produced, this model has finally come to an end. The last car to leave the factory is the Bugatti Chiron L’Ultime.

The car is finished in a combination of French Racing blue and Atlantic blue, and the individually painted front and rear wheels complete the shades of the body. The Bugatti logo on the grille is decorated in blue. Handwritten on the sides are the names of significant places that played a key role in the development and life cycle of the Chiron – Geneva, Chantilly, the Paul Ricard and Ehra-Lessien circuits, Saint Jean Castle, Cape Canaveral and Bugatti’s home in Molsheim.

In the cockpit, a combination of blue leather upholstery with blue carbon matte details and French Racing blue trim, special details such as L’Ultime and #500 badges in various places, as well as hand-cut and stitched leather on the door panels, are just some of the details that adorn car interior.

“This 500th and last Chiron is a fitting farewell and radiates a legacy that will forever be part of automotive history, while also paving the way for a brighter new chapter. The journey begins with the production of the Bolide and the W16 Mistral and continues with the launch of our new model in June.” said the President of Bugatti Automobiles Christophe Piochon.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Bugatti Chiron L’Ultime is powered by an 8.0-L W16 quad-turbo engine with 1,600 hp (1,193 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual- clutch transmission that sends power to all wheels. The top speed is 440 km/h (273 mph).

Volkswagen has announced that the hatchback and Wagon versions of the recently introduced Golf R are ready for official presentation and production. The teaser was published on the Instagram profile “volkswagen_r” and shows both versions in the blue camouflage that we also saw on the Golf R.

The hatchback comes with several visual changes compared to the R model, such as redesigned LED headlights and taillights, as well as redesigned bumpers. The interior will also be upgraded with a new 12.9-inch screen infotainment system, illuminated sliders and buttons on the steering wheel, as is the case with other updated versions of the Golf. The Golf R Variant will also undergo some changes, and will only be available in Europe and the UK.

When it comes to the powertrain, VW has not yet published technical specifications. The current Golf R is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-L TSI four-cylinder engine with 320 hp (239 kW), respectively 333 hp (248 kW) in the “20 Years” and “333” special versions. It remains to be seen whether the redesigned version will get a bit more power and come closer to its competitors. The engine will be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
