  • Bugatti EB110 prototypes testing in the snow

    Everyone knows all about the Bugatti Veyron. The latest king of the high-speed hill is, of course, the Bugatti Chiron. Back in the day, however, it was the EB110 that wore the crown for the Bugatti family. Due to heady competition from its era, the EB110 is oft-overlooked. That's because it had to line up against the Ferrari F40 and might McLaren F1. Regardless, it's a superb supercar that screams '90s speed machine. Even Michael Schumacher had one. Interestingly, it's decent at all-weather handling. We know this because a tape has unearthed showing a pair of prototypes being tested in...

    Bugatti may wait until Chiron replacement to introduce hybrid tech

    Prior to the reveal of the Chiron at the 2016 Geneva auto show, former Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn hinted that there would be two performance levels for the Chiron, with the more extreme version to feature hybrid technology. However, it’s now more likely that Bugatti will wait...

  • Bugatti Chiron at Nürburgring
    Why is a Bugatti Chiron testing at the Nürburgring?

    Bugatti has descended upon the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife with a Chiron. However, it's unclear why the exotic marque is testing the car car at all. We know it's a prototype because it was spotted during an industry day and is finished in matte black paint. It's also devoid of any badges...

    Bugatti Chiron can't go over 300 MPH because no tire can handle it

    The Bugatti Chiron had big shoes to fill when it arrived to replace the beloved Veyron. So far, it's showed it has the credentials to be a proper follow-up act. However, no one has been able to fully experience the true speeds the 1,480-horsepower hypercar is capable of. That's because no tire is...

  • Jamie Foxx and his golden Bugatti Veyron
    Jamie Foxx turned his Bugatti Veyron gold

    Lifestyles of the rich and the famous. We wouldn't know about it, but Jamie Foxx exhibits the exact kind of behavior we expect. Case in point: he's turned his Bugatti Veyron into rolling gold. Foxx Instagrammed a photo of himself standing next to his all-gold supercar and it really is all gold...

  • Bugatti Chiron hill climb run

    The Bugatti Chiron houses 16 cylinders and four turbochargers. Let that sink in for a moment. Now, after contemplating that, it gives purpose to this video: the Chiron is really loud. It's in your face, the turbos are unapologetic, and the car doesn't care to keep its ego in check. The 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W-16 make for quite a soundtrack when the Chiron is asked to run a hill climb. Thankfully, this video allows viewers to experience such a situation, since many of us will likely never have the chance to perform a hill climb in a Chiron of our own. Heck most of us will be lucky to...

    If you missed out on the opportunity to own a Bugatti Veyron, you're in luck. However, this isn't any old Veyron: this is the Bugatti Veyron Mansory Linea Vincero that we first saw in 2010. We say "the" because this car is the only of its kind in the United States, and it went through an incredibly...

    You’ll now find Bugatti’s biggest showroom in Dubai

    Bugatti has just opened its biggest showroom yet. The showroom is located in the center of Dubai, and while it’s hardly a big space relative to other brands’ showrooms, with roughly 2,500 square feet of floor space, it’s sure to be more than adequate for Bugatti’s one-car...

    2017 Bugatti Chiron first drive review: The king of the exotics

    When a Bugatti Chiron fires up, the sound it produces is loud—surprisingly, dramatically, crazy loud, even while idling at a mellow 650 rpm. Sixteen cylinders, eight liters, four turbochargers and six exhaust pipes can do that. But if you’re lucky enough to be manning the driver's seat...

    Every good piece of ultra-exotic automotive machinery needs a matching boat. This is how you manage to separate the wealthy pretenders from the actually mega-rich spenders. Lots of folks can plunk down the change for the latest hypercar. Far fewer can also drop the massive amounts of money required...

  • Bugatti Chiron

    Bugatti has sold off half of all build slots for its Chiron—even before allowing any test drives. With a total run of 500 cars planned, including all special editions, it means there are now 250 build slots remaining. Anyone yet to order a Chiron will have to face a long wait as Bugatti is building cars at a rate of roughly 70 per year. However, the strong demand has got the automaker considering increasing the number it builds each year. The first three Chirons will be delivered this week. The fourth car, shown here, will be presented to its owner, a Swiss resident, tomorrow at the...

    2017 Bugatti Chiron preview

    In the supercar world, a V-8 will cut it, a V-10 is better, and a V-12 is the most desired engine. Then there's Bugatti, the French brand that laughs at your measly V-12 and ups the ante to 16 cylinders. Bugatti started its 16-cylinder, ungodly power onslaught in 2005 with the Veyron. The car's...

  • Bugatti Chiron

    Demand for Bugatti’s new Chiron hypercar is stronger than expected. Speaking with GT Spirit, CEO Wolfgang Durheimer confirmed that 220 of the planned 500-car run have already been sold. And that’s before Bugatti has started its official test drive program for the car. “I’m confident the customers who have not yet decided to order a Chiron will do so when they have had a chance to drive it,” he said. This has created a small problem for Bugatti—the type most automakers would love to have. With Bugatti’s planned production rate of 65 cars per year...

    Like everything, it was only a matter of time before the new Bugatti Chiron hypercar was crashed, and now it's happened. While it might feel like the Chiron has been around a while--that's what happened when we have concept car versions of production cars--it's actually still rather new. Customers...

    When you produce an ultra expensive hypercar like the 1,480-horsepower Chiron, you're going to want to make sure the thing works rather well. This means subjecting it to harsh temperatures both cold and hot and racking up many thousands of test miles. It's that hot bit that we're focused on today...
