The Bugatti Chiron has reached its final phase of production, with the marque planning to produce just 40 more examples of the popular hypercar.

Since its highly anticipated reveal at the Geneva International Motorshow in 2016, the Chiron has collected a multitude of accolades for its design and performance capabilities. It can complete a 0-100km/h sprint in just 2.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 420km/h, though later variants have bumped these figures up.

The final 40 vehicles, set to be a mix of the Chiron Pur Sport and Super Sport models, will wrap up a run of 500 units, just five years after it first went on sale.

Joining the Chiron family in 2020, the Chiron Pur Sport promised improved agility and downforce. Featuring a 50kg weight reduction and firmer suspension, combined with a 1.90-meter rear wing and close-ratio transmission means the Chiron Pur Sport “radiates connection and feel between the driver and road surface.”

2021 saw the unveiling of the Chiron Super Sport. Like the Pur Sport, the Super Sport retains its quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 petrol engine, but with the output boosted to 1177kW for a top speed of 440km/h.

“With the Chiron Pur Sport and Super Sport, we are offering customers the culmination of years of continual development of the Chiron platform,” said Hendrik Malinowski, Bugatti Sales Director.

“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 built slots remaining, the purity of the W16 recipe is being honoured in style.”
