Chiron [Official] Bugatti Chiron

I'm afraid not, rather, no one asked assuming the answer would've been no.

Oh, wow.... That's so passive

 

[slicknick]

^Next time let me do the pitching towards the Bugatti people, guys ....Two possible outcomes in that case - either the entire GCF staff will have a Chiron to ride around at will for free, or we will be banned for life from mentioning anything Bugatti, even in our threads

Sometimes I dream which cars I would buy if I would have the appropriate money.
Honestly the Veyron was never part of my list with dream cars.
I'm sure you will ask why not? No question the Veyron is a masterpiece of car engineering. But I missed and I'm missing one thing: to see this car and get the feeling: oh, yes. This is it.
A complete opposite is the Chiron. I have seen the first pic of it and I thought: Wtf, what a car. Amazing, Stunning. Gorgeous.
What I have seen and read about this car I have not found any point I don't like apart the price and the costs.
No question for me. If I would have the money I would want to own this car.

Makes two of us my man...Even in person, Veyron was impressive in its own right, but always lacked that X-factor for me too...What the Veyron lacked, though, the Chiron seems to have in abundance...One with a blue CF exterior, napa leather interior/prussian blue stitching and fully-chromed wheels for me please

So, got to find out today that Bugatti will be present at the Paris Motor Show this year in October....Will get to see this bad boy in flesh, oh yes, looking forward to it!!

 

[Monster]

I wonder when will they release the top speed run video and announce the maximum top speed of the car.

Maybe they'll need to build a new track first, LOL

At Christie's:

 

[slicknick]

Soooooo much win.... @sako97, based on what you might have heard at the Manhattan Motorcars, have they managed to get any further orders since Geneva? (1/3 of the production batch was already sold before Geneva anyway)

 

[slicknick]

God this suspense is killing me....Cannot wait to see one in flesh

Speed record test next year, according to Forbes? Surely that cannot be right; given the video on display at the Geneva Motor Show?

Bugatti Unveils Chic New 260-Mph-Plus 'Chiron' At Christie's New York

This weekend for the first time on North American soil, Bugatti showed off its brand-new supercar Chiron. The private venue selected for press and staff was Christie’s auction house in New York.

On hand from Bugatti were Achim Anscheidt, director of design; Dr. Stefan Brungs, sales, marketing & customer service director; Maurizio Parlato, chief operating officer; and Manuela Hoehne, communications director. From Christie’s was Darius Himes, international head of photography, among others.

Appropriately enough the car – considered by auto purists to be “high-functioning art” – was in a gallery room surrounded by famous photographs by the likes of Peter Beard, Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe and Antoine Verglas.

The Chiron is the next generation of the Veyron, Bugatti’s exotic super-car introduced 11 years ago.

Officially debuted to the world last month at the Geneva International Motor Show, the Chiron already has orders for one-third of its limited 500-car run – and that’s before customer test-drives, says Brungs. “Many are repeat buyers of the Veyron – more than half – but the others are new customers intrigued by the Chiron’s aggressiveness.”
The first customer deliveries from Molsheim, France, where the cars are produced, will begin this fall. The price is 2.4 million Euros ($2.7 million) and the car is limited to a top speed of 261 mph by a built-in governor for road use. But Bugatti freely admits the car is capable of speeds north of that without suppression, but won’t give exact numbers. (Speculation is that the car can top 288 mph.) It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under 2.5 seconds, to 124 mph in under 6.5 seconds and to 186 mph in under 13.6 seconds.

Bugatti says it will attempt to break its own Guinness World Record speed mark next year at Ehra Lessien, the secretive Volkswagen test track in Wolfsburg, Germany. Pierre Henri Raphanel, the company’s senior test driver, is expected to be behind the wheel. He set the current record of 267.8 mph in 2010 in a Veyron Super Sport.

“We are still working on it, but of course we want to break our own world speed record,” says Brungs. “The Chiron has 300 more horses, and different aerodynamics. Why not?”

Anscheidt, who designed the Chiron, admits it was in the works even before the Veyron launched in 2005. “We started work on the Chiron 12 years ago,” confirms Anscheidt. “Finally now, it’s like giving birth!”

Which begs the question: Will Bugatti eventually build a car faster than the Chiron, or will this be it?

“I don’t think it ever will be it,” says Brungs. “The drive of mankind is always to be better than the previous performance. Now we are topping what we did before. This started with the Veyron at 1,001 horses, then the Super Sport with 1,200 horses, and now we are at 1,500 horses. If you would have asked 20 years ago if a production car could have 1,000 horsepower and go 250 mph, everyone would have said no. But we did it.”

(Full disclosure: This writer had the privilege of testing the original Veyron at 253 mph, in 2009).

A sales associate commented that 75% of Veyron owners (roughly 337 out of 450) are already on the list for a Chiron. Not entirely sure about the legitimacy of this figure; seems plausible though.

Production is capped at 75 per annum, but I recall reading that in the press release.

Spotted the Chiron again:

^ You always seem to be at the right place at the right time, @sako97

That's the new parking lot for Manhattan Motorcars, just behind their showroom.

 

[Betty Swollocks]

His voice is not a problem. I think he is Turkish so he has quite a strong accent but he speaks good English.

He sounds Dutch to me.

 

[slicknick]

He sounds Dutch to me.

He's Turkish -Dutch, so you guys are both correct

 

[SDNR]

He sounds Dutch to me.

oh yes you're right. Now that you've said that, his Dutch accent is quite apparent. This must be how Klier sounds

I saw some comments written in Turkish so I made the assumption he was Turkish.

He's Turkish -Dutch, so you guys are both correct

he definitely has a Dutch accent though.

New Render I did. What do you guys think ??
