  • Bugatti Chiron Sport

    Bugatti, Volkswagen Group's French hypercar brand, has a new Chiron variant in the works. Apparently, this won't be a typical special edition model. Instead, the vehicle is quite "controversial." That's the word YouTuber Whitesse JR used to describe the new Chiron variant. The cameraman was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with Bugatti to limit what he could actually say and show to the public. Bugatti has only shown the car to a select group of individuals, and one of those showings was a very exclusive event in Beverly Hills, as you can see in this video. The YouTuber was able to...

  • Bugatti Chiron telemetry
    Bugatti owners can rest easy as technicians monitor cars in real time

    Tesla has popularized remote monitoring and updating of cars with its “over the air” system, but it wasn't the first automaker to do so. Bugatti had a similar system in place when it launched the Veyron last decade and with the car's successor, the 1,480-horsepower Chiron, the French...

    Bugatti boss isn't interested in Chiron's top speed

    They say a submarine captain never truly knows how deep his vessel can go. Similarly, Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann doesn't know how fast his Chiron can go. According to a report published by CNBC last Thursday, he doesn't care to find out. When Bugatti launched the Chiron back in 2016, the...

  • Bugatti Chiron Sport
    Bugatti Chiron Sport is lighter, sharper, but not Super

    Can a new Bugatti be disappointing? No, that's ridiculous. But we'll admit to feeling a little surprised by the arrival of the new Bugatti Chiron Sport, which debuted Tuesday at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. That's not because of what it adds—a sharper, more aggressive suspension...

  • Forza Motorsport 7 Bugatti Chiron
    You can now pick between a Chiron or Ram Power Wagon in Forza Motorsport 7

    Let's get one thing straight: you're (probably) never going to drive a Bugatti Chiron. At least not in real life. Now, however, you can pilot one in the Forza Motorsport 7 video game. The French multi-million-dollar road missile is part of a new downloadable pack of cars that's just made its way...

  • Bugatti Veyron #001
    Bugatti Loyalty Maintenance program provides up to 15 years of care

    Maintenance and replacement parts for supercars aren't exactly affordable, but Bugatti's Loyalty Maintenance program for the Veyron should help alleviate some financial burden. Not that servicing a Bugatti should be much of an issue if the owner can afford one in the first place. Nevertheless, the...

  • 1913 Bugatti Type 22 visits Jay Leno's Garage

    The oldest driveable Bugatti in the world is the star of the latest episode of “Jay Leno's Garage,” and this time the car isn't a member of the Leno fleet. It belongs to Alan Travis, a lover of pre-war—we're talking pre-WW1 here—cars, who Leno met during a recent Cars and Coffee meet. The car is a 1913 Bugatti Type 22, one of the first Bugattis built by brand founder and namesake Ettore Bugatti. It's powered by an inline-4 that's a work of art in itself, and drive is to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. Travis has only recently completed a full...

  • Bugatti EB 110 becomes SP-110 Edonis Fenice

Yes, underneath the rather intriguing bodywork is an original Bugatti EB110 carbon fiber monocoque, and there are plans for a small run...

To replace Winkelmann, Audi has selected...

  • Bugatti Chiron first drive

    Even the most opulent vehicles sometimes can't avoid a recall. Case in point: the Bugatti Chiron. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration announced a recall for 2017 and 2018 model year Chirons in late November due to faulty seat recliners. In total, the NHTSA said the faulty seat recliners potentially affect 47 Chirons in total. The seat recliners may feature improperly welded brackets, and if they fail, the driver's seating position may suddenly change. Thus, the likelihood of a crash increases. Bugatti service centers will inspect the seat recliner brackets and replace the...

    Bugatti might replace Chiron with a sedan

    Bugatti’s Chiron has only just arrived but a decision on a successor will have to be made soon as development will have to start in 2019. Why the rush? Because the rate at which Bugatti is building the Chiron, approximately 70 cars per year, means all 500 planned examples will have been...

  • Juan Pablo Montoya drives a Bugatti Chiron from 0-248-0 mph in 41.96 seconds

    Bugatti only revealed the Chiron last year, but development for the potent supercar's successor is planned to begin in just two years' time. Bugatti will sell the Chiron for six years total, and since deliveries began earlier this year, that pegs the French marque's Chiron sequel to likely arrive sometime around 2023. The development comments came straight from Bugatti boss Wolfgang Durheimer, who was rumored to be stepping down from the brand during the 2017 Frankfurt auto show. Current Audi Sport boss Stephan Winkelmann is rumored to be next to take the reins, but no announcement was made...

Finished in a beaming yellow hue against...

  • Meet the "Panda" Bugatti Chiron

    Another day, another multi-million dollar supercar delivered. It's yet another Bugatti Chiron, but it's a special supercar, though, and it has a name: Panda.

    Bugatti Chiron fuel economy ratings better than Veyron, still dismal

    The Bugatti Chiron returns some pretty poor fuel economy figures, but are you surprised? Likely not. Nevertheless, Veyron owners interested in a Chiron may be delighted to hear the latest supercar will return marginally better gas mileage while putzing around town. According to the EPA, the...

    Bugatti Chiron: How the fastest car in the world was made

    Bugatti isn't in the business of mass producing cars, so it's a big deal when a new vehicle surfaces from the storied French marque. The latest, if you haven't heard, is the Bugatti Chiron, which arrives with 1,480 horsepower and a limited top speed of 261 mph. As you can imagine, quite a bit of...
