Bugatti Chiron Profilee sold for $9.79 million

The Bugatti Chiron is the pride of the Italian supercar manufacturer, and all 500 planned units of this car have already been sold out. All of them went for millions, but the unique Bugatti Chiron Profilee broke the record by reaching an auction price of EUR 9,792,500.

The auction was held in France and the realized amount did not include tax. Bugatti Rimac CEO Mate Rimac said the Profilee now holds the record for the most expensive new car sold at auction.

Bugatti Chiron Profilee is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,480 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Bugatti Mistral. It reaches 62 mph in 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 380 km/h, which is 30 km/h more than the Chiron Pur Sport (350 km/h).

This unique car is based on the Pur Sport model, but instead of the raised full-length rear wing, an integrated spoiler is installed, which still generates 80 percent of the Pur Sport’s downforce. It is equipped with a large rear spoiler, wider air intakes, a larger grille to improve cooling, a redesigned front splitter, 10 percent stiffer springs and magnesium wheels. The rear wing has a double function, with its upper surface it creates downforce and with its lower surface it removes hot air.

Last month Mate Rimac announced the arrival of a new supercar that will be like no other before: “It’s completely new, so there’s not a single part that’s taken from any car. Nothing carried over from the Chiron, nothing carried over from the Nevera, everything’s been made from scratch,” said Mate Rimac.

Bugatti has produced and delivered 80 cars in the last year

After recently announcing that it produced 4/5 of the total of 500 planned examples of the Bugatti Chiron, Bugatti announced that last year was a record year when it comes to car production. The company managed to produce and deliver 80 cars.

Among the produced hypercars with a W16 engine last year was the 400th Chiron, as well as the last ten copies of the Chiron Super Sport 300+. All ten examples of the Bugatti Centodieci were also produced and delivered, as were all examples of the Chiron and Chiron Sport models for European customers. Many of these cars are modified according to the wishes of the customers.

When it comes to this year, from Molsheim Atelier comes a new, perhaps the most controversial edition of the Chiron, the Chiron Profilée. This unique car will be offered at auction on February 1, 2023 in Paris. Also, the production and delivery of the remaining 100 Chirons will continue, and the configuration of the Mistral and Bolide models is also expected to begin.

Chiron Profilée will be powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,480 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 380 km/h, which is 30 km/h more than the Chiron Pur Sport (350 km/h).

Mate Rimac announced the new Bugatti hypercar

A few months ago, Mate Rimac announced a ten-year plan for Bugatti. Everyone wondered if Bugatti would follow in the footsteps of competitors like Porsche or Ferrari when it comes to SUVs. In an interview with Automobilwoche he said that Bugatti will not produce an SUV in the near future, but that they will not produce a fully electric Bugatti either. At least not in the next ten years. “A purely electric version is not included in our 10-year plan for Bugatti. There will also be no SUV,” said Mate Rimac. Now Mate has announced a new Bugatti hypercar with an all-new internal combustion engine.

With the Mistral and Bolide models, Bugatti formally says goodbye to the famous 8.0-liter W16 engine. The powerful engine with a quadruple turbo will end its journey in 2024. In an interview with Auto Express, Rimac surprised everyone and announced that they started developing an internal combustion engine two years before the merger with Bugatti. Mate claims that everyone will be delighted when the new model is unveiled next year. He also said the new car won’t be like the current Bugatti models: “It’s completely new, so there’s not a single part that’s taken from any car. Nothing carried over from the Chiron, nothing carried over from the Nevera. Everything’s been made from scratch,” said Mate Rimac.

The differences between the next Bugatti and the Nevera will extend beyond the powertrain, explains Mate Rimac: “The concept and idea of the Bugatti is to be a car that you can come to the theater with, but later drive at 400 km/h on the highway. It will be even more beautiful, a more analog car, like some expensive and precisely crafted wristwatch. With the Rimac, we want it to be and remain an absolutely insane, all-electric hyper sports car that drifts at 60 km/h with a huge cloud of smoke behind you, that also has autonomous drift modes, as well as other futuristic stuff.”

When it comes to other Bugatti cars, recently the Bugatti Mistral, the last to be powered by the W16 engine, became the fastest convertible reaching a speed of 261 mph (420 km/h). It is powered by a centrally located turbocharged 8-liter W16 engine with 1,600 hp (1,177 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. It reaches 62 mph (100 km / h) in just 2.4 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in 5.8 seconds, and 186 mph (300 km / h) in about 12 seconds. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
