Bugatti Chiron

Built in France by Bugatti Automobiles, the Chiron succeeded the Veyron as a mid-engine, two-seat hypercar. Its defining mechanical feature is an 8.0-liter W16 engine with four turbochargers, combined with a body shaped around the demands of high-speed driving. The original Chiron was rated at 1,500 metric horsepower and had an electronically limited top speed of approximately 261 mph, figures that should not be applied indiscriminately to every variant. The cabin combines carefully finished materials with a focus on driver controls, reflecting the model's mixture of luxury and extreme performance.

Cooling and aerodynamic requirements strongly influence its recognizable exterior. It suits collectors and enthusiasts interested in the engineering of very fast road cars, rather than buyers seeking ordinary transport practicality. What distinguishes the Chiron is the integration of its unusual W16 powertrain with a finished luxury interior and a purpose-built high-speed design.
