How much does it cost to maintain and repair the Bugatti Chiron hypercar (13 photos + 1 video)

Even if you managed to save up (ha ha) for a Bugatti Chiron, spending on this is just beginning: the maintenance of a hypercar will cost such amounts, which the ordinary owner of even a luxury car never dreamed of.





The more expensive the car, the more expensive its technical service. But what if the price of a new acquisition starts from three million dollars? It is clear that during a visit to the technical center you will have to spend a little more than an annual salary in Tasty and period, but how much more? Alas, even if your Bugatti Chiron was bought as an investment and most of the time is in the garage, it will continue mercilessly devour the bank account. Today we're talking about maintenance. a car that even has a brake caliper like a small car.

Yes, there are things in the life of Bugatti owners that can annoy. One, for example, complained that he liked to ride his "Chiron" with open windows and accelerate to breathtaking speed.



Who knew that for Bugatti these things are mutually exclusive? With intensive acceleration of the hypercar automatically closes the windows, and its owner You have to constantly struggle with this annoying effect.

What about annoying maintenance bills? AT There are a lot of videos on the Internet with shocking prices for Bugatti parts, but you need to immediately make a reservation that the abyss of money will not open up before you in the early years of owning a hypercar.





For the first four years, you will have a warranty, which includes the recommended annual maintenance for manufacturer's account. Yes, luxury brands often include it in their car cost.

But then depreciation expenses will begin to wag your wallet with the ruthlessness of a flock of piranhas. First, Bugatti recommends every year change oil, filters and other technical fluids. And this a whole adventure, which takes 14 hours by factory standards.



After all, if in an ordinary car there may be several drain holes for oil, then the Bugatti with a 16-cylinder engine has 16 of them, from where it follows, according to Coincidentally, a little over 16 liters of oil. Yes, this big man volume eight liters requires a lot of lubrication.

At the same time, Bugatti models have to do a partial disassembly back to access all service points. So the whole procedure will cost 30 thousand dollars, and in 10 years will result in 300 thousand dollars.



Other service procedures will take no less time and effort: for example, camshaft adjustment recommended at regular intervals will require to separate the engine from the machine, and a deeper planned maintenance every four years takes 72 hours.

Expensive? Then let's talk about something cheap like tires. Compared to everything else, they will cost sheer nonsense: 2 thousand dollars a piece. So that nothing breaks reaching a maximum of 420 km / h, the tires must be in excellent condition wherever the car is stored.



So as a preventive measure, it is recommended to change them every 16 months. And yes, if you puncture one tire on the road earlier, then you you will have to change the whole set at once. From this turn of events, it seems that even Ettore Bugatti himself would have sank.

Although you can spend twice as much if you buy more winter set. Yes, Bugatti also has such tires: manufacturer recommends the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 model, which, by the way, has maximum speed index 270 km/h.



The problem is that at a speed of over 400 km / h, disaster can turn into hidden damage, microcracks in the metal of the rim, so that they it is also recommended to change every 16,000 km.

Different-sized (20-inch front and 21-inch rear) wheels will have to replaced with the same brand new "skating rinks" for 50 thousand dollars. Others In other words, if Bugatti worked in carsharing, then their wheels would have to to change six times a year.



For some reason, Bugatti owners do not use this opportunity - according to According to statistics, the average Chiron travels less than 2000 kilometers per year, but all must also always be ready for extreme speeds. So let's go on price list below.

Calipers from Volkswagen Golf to Bugatti Chiron for some reason also not fit, and a complete replacement of the front brake system with discs and calipers cost about 50 thousand dollars. Given that the Chiron is still decelerates faster than accelerates, it's worth it.



And we wholeheartedly do not recommend driving a Bugatti right behind a KAMAZ, carrying gravel. The windshield after a crack from a pebble will cost the equivalent of 60 thousand dollars. Worse, some parts of the hypercar expires periodically (!).

The fuel tank, for example, is recommended to be changed every five years for 50 thousand dollars, of which 25 thousand dollars is the cost of work - to get before any Bugatti detail, you traditionally need to disassemble half a car.



Even Garrett turbines (about 8 thousand dollars each) have a limited resource - but they can be used for as long as 15 years before replacement. To In a word, there are four of them in the Bugatti W16 engine, and the work to replace them is estimated at 9 thousand dollars. Replacing fuel tanks, oddly enough, will empty your wallet much faster.

But how to avoid huge expenses? Alas, Black Fridays at Bugatti are not held, but after the first four years, you may receive Extended Passeport Tranquillite Warranty. And yes, you will have to pay some more money!



For just $68,500, you will receive a four-year extension to your annual maintenance and warranty, although for any part with increased wear you still have to pay yourself. As well as for all sorts of little things like new a set of wiper blades is more expensive than $ 1,500!

By the way, Passeport Tranquillite is inherited and new the owner if you sold the car or made it into a will. Comfortable! As well as the maintenance kit included in the extended warranty package by car.



But we didn’t even touch on the costs of 98th gasoline, storage and ... insurance. In the US, it costs about 50 thousand dollars a year, and in other countries, it will probably cost much more.

At the same time, as it turned out in our recent article about the most expensive parts, some parts for hypercars can even be found on Russian ad sites. Used Bugatti body parts from carbon and with an unexpected inscription Made in Italy cost from 400 thousand to 45 thousand dollars.



One way or another, dividing all these expenses by the number of trips on your favorite Chiron a year, and there will be, believe me, a little, you will get such a stunning amount, what about the feasibility of such a transport funds even a billionaire will think.

I even knew one of these people. Considering that each shifting gears on his supercar, taking into account all the costs, costs the equivalent of $500, he could no longer get it out of his head and enjoy trips. And although it was not a Bugatti, he still sold the car.
