Bugatti says goodbye to the giant W16 engine with a bang from a Chiron. However, there are many indications that the revelation will be even wilder.
L'ultime is the 500th and last Bugatti Chiron ever. The French word can very aptly be translated directly to 'the last'.
Bugatti says so in a press release .
The Chiron era began in 2016, when the car, named after racing legend Louis Chiron, replaced the Veyron, which in turn relaunched the entire Bugatti brand in 2005.
The last Chiron is, like its 499 siblings, hand-built at Bugatti's factory in the French town of Molsheim. The paintwork is a mixture of "Atlantic Blue" and "French Racing Blue".
