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).

Bugatti has already produced 80 percent of the Chiron cars

Six years ago Bugatti began the story of 500 Chiron cars that will be powered by the W16. All the cars are already sold out and so far the company, which became part of the Rimac Group a few months ago, has produced 80 percent of the planned cars.

With the published photo of the 400th Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, Bugatti celebrates the success of the expensive hypercar, and 20 workers worked on assembling 1,800 components. “Every part of the Chiron is a masterpiece, and assembly requires the most dedicated and exquisite specialists in the world. Our painting process, or finishing process, is so detailed that it takes up to eight layers to achieve the desired effect. Each layer is polished to perfection, a deep and brilliant mirror effect,” said Cristophe Piochon, president of Bugatti.

Bugatti continues to produce the remaining 100 examples, which will not be the last to be powered by the W16 engine. The honor will go to the Mistral and Bolide models.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is powered by a turbocharged 8-liter W16 engine with 1,600 hp (1,177 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in 5.8 seconds, and to 186 mph (300 km / h) in about 12 seconds. The top speed that the Super Sport can reach is electronically limited to 273 mph (440 km / h). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The car is painted green combined with Fierce alloy details around the front fascia, in the central part of the rims and elsewhere, while the hood is in Nocturne color. It is equipped with Sport Magnesium rims that raise the appearance of the hypercar to a higher level. The same color combination can be seen in the interior of the car. The seats are upholstered in a combination of green and Beluga black leather. A special atmosphere is provided by the Sky View roof, which provides natural light.
