Now it's definitely the last one. Bugatti has completed production of the Chiron hypercar (22 photos)
Last week there was a post about Bugatti ending production of the Chiron hypercar, and today's car was the final one in that 500-car series. Car production lasted 8 years.
The Chiron L'Ultime, like all its predecessors, was assembled by hand at the Molsheim factory. Based on the 1600 hp Super Sport version, the farewell example is finished in iridescent azure blue enamel in shades ranging from French Racing Blue to Atlantic Blue, while the “500” badges on the outside and on the hood of the 8-liter W16 indicate the serial number within the series.
The doors and sides of the body are hand-painted with the names of events and places that played an important role in the fate of the Chiron over the past eight years. In particular, these are Ehra-Lessiens (the track where the top speed of 490 km/h was reached), Paul Ricard (the track that hosted the factory tests), Geneva (the debut exhibition) and Chantilly (where it was demonstrated several times).
Let us remind you that the third Bugatti hypercar, after the EB110 and Veyron, was named after the famous racer of the 1930–1940s. Louis Chiron, one of the legends of great motorsport of that time along with Nuvolari, Varzi, Rosemeyer and Caracciola.
Despite the fact that in June Bugatti is going to introduce another model, this time powered by a naturally aspirated V16 with a hybrid superstructure, the legacy of the Chiron has not been fully developed. The company continues to make the Mistral roadster (99 units in circulation) and the track Bolide (40 units), which are based on the developments of both the Chiron and the earlier Veyron.
