This Is the Bugatti Chiron, the Monster That Will Replace the Veyron

It looks like somebody stepped on a metallic turtle, except it does 288 mph

What It Is

The replacement for the recently retired Veyron, the supercar king of the hill since its 2005 arrival.

Why It Matters

The 258-mph Veyron 16.4 Super Sport currently wears the crown of fastest production car, but the Chiron, named for Monaco-born racer Louis Chiron, should reach 288 mph, assuming you can rent Nebraska.


The existing Veyron's carbon-fiber structure, modified to reduce weight. Improved interior ergonomics and outward visibility are further goals. We're thinking an F-18 canopy would work well.

What Might Go Wrong


Estimated Arrival and Price

A recent Piëch-ordered redesign of the door aperture—cutting into the doorsill to ease ingress and egress—pushed back the on-sale date to 2016. When the Chiron does get here, expect to pay $2.5 million, give or take.
