Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Bugatti Chiron succeeded the Veyron 16.4 and honored famed Monรฉgasque racer Louis Chiron. Though it shared the Veyronโs mid-engine, all-wheel-drive layout and 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, about 95% of its components were new. Built around a carbon-fiber monocoque and body, the Chiron combined advanced engineering with styling inspired by historic Bugattis. Its signature C-shaped side motif referenced both Chironโs initial and pre-war models, like the Type 41, while the roof fin recalled the Type 57SC Atlantic.
The reworked W16 engine featured larger two-stage turbochargers, upgraded catalytic converters, and a titanium exhaust, producing 1,479 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and adaptive all-wheel drive, the Chiron accelerated from 0โ60 mph in 2.4 seconds and reached a limited top speed of 261 mph. Stopping power came from massive 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic brakes with 3D-printed titanium calipers, capable of halting the car from 249 mph in under 10 seconds.
Currently listed for sale on Broad Arrow Private Sales, this 2018 Bugatti Chiron was commissioned in a striking and enduring color scheme. The exterior is finished in deep Nocturne black, accented by the marqueโs Signature Line and brake calipers in vivid Italian Red. The trademark horseshoe grille surround, rear wing underside, and โฌ50,000 Caractere wheelsโenhanced by an additional โฌ7,500 Nocturne paint finishโcontinue the dark, dramatic theme.
Adding a performance-inspired touch, a visible carbon-fiber engine cover was specified at an additional cost of โฌ15,000. Inside, the luxurious cabin features comfort seats trimmed in Beluga Black leather with Italian Red contrast stitching, perfectly mirroring the exterior details. According to factory records, this Chiron was delivered new to the United States on September 18, 2017, marking it as one of the earliest examples to reach American shores.
Given its extremely limited production, finding a Bugatti Chiron available is a rarity. This U.S.-spec example has been carefully driven and well maintained, showing 31,000 kilometers on the odometerโa testament to the enduring appeal of the supercar that defined the 2010s.
