Bugatti celebrates a world premiere at the 2016 Geneva
International Motor Show: the French luxury brand is unveiling the Bugatti
Chiron, the most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive
production super sports car in the world. The Bugatti Chiron is the latest
generation of the ultimate super sports car and is a completely new
development. The sports car manufacturer from Molsheim, with its long
tradition, has taken the unique features of a modern Bugatti to a new level and
developed a high-performance machine that has become significantly better in
every respect. With a power output of 1,500 HP, unprecedented for production
vehicles, an exceptionally high torque value of 1,600 Nm between 2,000 and
6,000 rpm and a wide variety of technical innovations, the Chiron sets new
standards in every respect. The Bugatti Chiron is therefore very
well-positioned to become the next world speed record holder and reach a
maximum speed significantly above the record currently held by Bugatti. The
manufacturer has limited the maximum speed of the new car to 420 km/h for road
use. The Chiron is to be built at the company's headquarters in Molsheim. Only
500 of these exceptional cars are to be produced. The basic price is €2.4
million net. Currently, advance orders have been received for one third of the
total production run. The first vehicle is due to be delivered to a customer
this autumn.
"It is part of human nature to cross boundaries
and set new records - to run 100 m faster than ever before, to fly even further
into space and to enter new realms. This striving is also our driving force at
Bugatti," said Wolfgang Dürheimer, President of Bugatti Automobiles
S.A.S., at the presentation of the Chiron. "The Chiron is the result of
our efforts to make the best even better."
With the Bugatti Chiron, the Bugatti President said
that Bugatti had left the dimensions which define the operations of all market
players and had established new paradigms that had previously not existed.
"Bugatti has tested the limits of physics. There is no area where we have
not achieved significant improvements."
