The successor to the Bugatti Chiron will be revealed on June 20

After eight years of production of one of the most powerful cars and the pride of Bugatti, the Chiron, the time has come for this model to say goodbye. Its latest version, the Bugatti Chiron L’Ultime, was revealed recently and now we know its successor. It’s a hypercar that will be revealed on June 20.

Bugatti is still keeping the technical data a secret, and what is known for now is that the successor to the Chiron will be powered by an atmospheric V16 hybrid engine with around 1,800 hp (1,342 kW), as a replacement for the current W16 engine. According to unofficial information, the new engine will allow the hypercar to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in two seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in less than 5 seconds, while the speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) reach in less than 10 seconds. Top speed will be electronically limited to 446 km/h (277 mph).

The car will be produced in only 250 copies and the first deliveries will start in 2026.

The recently produced 500th example of the Chiron and its final edition, 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).

“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.

2014 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is up for auction

Between 2012 and 2015, Bugatti produced only 92 examples of the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse and one of them, the 2014 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is up for auction.

This car is the 46th produced and was ordered by a Japanese customer who gave up before delivery, so the car ended up in England. It is finished in a combination of black and blue, with blue brake calipers, black magnesium components and stitched seats, which is part of a €375,500 optional equipment package. The current owner bought the car in 2017 and covered it with a paint protection film. In preparation for the auction, the car was serviced in April, which cost more than 30,000 euros.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Tangerine orange leather with embroidered details on the headrest. Tangerine orange also covers the lower part of the dashboard, door panels and roof, and there is an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel as well as carbon details on the center console.

Under the bonnet is an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,183 hp (882 kW) @ 6,400 rpm and 1,100 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) @ 3,000–5,000 rpm. That is enough for the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 375 km/h (233 mph). It has only 4,088 km on the odometer.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport “55 1 of 1”

At the 1931 Paris Motor Show, Bugatti introduced the sports car Bugatti Type 55. It was produced until 1935, and in its honor the Italian brand presented a special example of the Chiron Super Sport marked “55 1 of 1”.

Like the original model from the 30s, the Super Sport model is also finished in a combination of black and yellow. At the front, there is a black grille frame, while the Chiron also got black ten-spoke wheels with yellow EB emblems. The rear wing is also painted in black and yellow and contains the inscription “55 1 of 1” on the lower part.

“From a distance, the ’55’ pattern ensures that the fenders appear black, just like on the original car,” said Jascha Straub, manager of Sur Mesure and Individualization at Bugatti.

The same color combination continues in the interior of this unique car. The seats are upholstered in a combination of black leather and Alcantara with yellow stitching and embroidered “55 1 of 1” on the head rest. Leather covers the dash and center console while Alcantara covers the door panels. There are also plenty of carbon details, and special door sill plates signed by Jean Bugatti.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 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).
