help Bugatti FAQ

Who owns Bugatti as of 2024?

Bugatti is currently owned by Bugatti Rimac, a joint venture formed in 2021 that combines Bugatti Automobiles (previously under Volkswagen Group) with Rimac Automobili of Croatia. Porsche holds a 45% stake in the joint venture, and Rimac founder Mate Rimac serves as CEO.

What was the top speed achieved by the Bugatti Chiron?

A modified Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ achieved 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) on a Volkswagen Group test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany, in 2019. This was a one-direction run, so it did not qualify for the Guinness World Record, which requires a two-way average, but it was the first production-based car to exceed 300 mph.

What engine does the Bugatti Chiron use?

The Bugatti Chiron is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine producing 1,479 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. This engine architecture, shared with the Veyron, was retired after the Chiron, with Bugatti announcing a naturally aspirated V16 hybrid for its next model, the Tourbillon, in 2024.
