As the brand prepares for an all-electric future, the 1177kW/1600Nm all-wheel drive two-seater will retire as one of the last great internal-combustion hypercars.
The Bugatti Chiron has reached the end of the line, with less than 40 examples of a 500-unit run still for sale.
The model – which was revealed in 2016, and went into production a year later – is the most powerful road-going car ever built, and has the highest verified top speed.
“We are offering customers the culmination of years of continual development of the Chiron platform,” said Hendrik Malinowski, the director of sales and operations, at Bugatti.
“This spectrum of performance, whether it be hitting the apex on-track, or cruising on Autobahns in total luxury, takes the Chiron to an entirely new level … Now with so few build slots remaining, the purity of the W16 recipe is being honoured in style.”
As the automotive industry shifts to all-electric platforms, the Chiron will likely wrap up as one of the last great internal-combustion hypercars.
An 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 petrol engine sends a monumental 1177kW/1600Nm (or, approximately the equivalent power of 13 Volkswagen Polos) to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
This allows the 0-100km/h sprint to be completed in a claimed 2.4 seconds, on the way to a top speed in excess of 410km/h. Pricing is estimated to start from $AU5.5 million.
He has maintained a primary focus on industry trends, autonomous technology, electric vehicle regulations, and local environmental policy.
