BUGATTI MAKES THE 100TH CHIRON
Bugatti is celebrating the production and delivery of the 100th
Chiron, the car left “L‘Atelier“ at Bugatti’s headquarters in
Molsheim, Alsace, where the 1,500 PS super sports car has
been hand-crafted since the end of 2016.
With extremely well-filled order books, production of the
Chiron is running at full speed. About 70 cars leave the Bugatti
factory every year. Only 500 Chiron vehicles in total will be
produced.
The 100th Chiron goes to a customer from the Arabian
Peninsula, who has opted for an especially attractive
configuration. The outer skin of the car consists entirely of dark
blue carbon, supplied with a matt finish for the first time.
The paintwork of the iconic Bugatti side line in Italian red and
the wheels in mink black creates a pronounced contrast. In the
full-leather interior, red is the dominant colour. The price of
this extraordinary connoisseur’s car is about €2.85 million net.
Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.,
congratulated the owner: “I find the 100th Chiron especially
pleasing. It is dynamic and elegant in equal measure. This car
shows that Bugatti produces highly individualized masterpieces
of automobile craftsmanship that are simply unparalle
