The Bugatti Veyron (above) and Bugatti Chiron make up two-thirds of today’s Bugatti lineup. Although the Veyron is no longer in production, it is still a contender for Weston-area drivers seeking a new Bugatti. So, how do the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron compare? Bugatti Broward is here to break down the specifics for our Miami-area drivers.
The Bugatti Veyron first appeared on the scene in 2005, and its impact is still being felt today. Under the hood was an 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine rated at over 1,000 hp and 100% street legal. A total of 450 different Veyron models were produced, maxing out at 1,184 hp and sporting a 0 to 62 mph time of just 2.5 seconds.
Originally, the Bugatti Veyron was capable of reaching up to 253 mph. Then, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport broke that record with a top speed of up to 267 mph, giving engineers a target for the Chiron. With incredible speed comes the need for top-shelf safety technologies. The Veyron was built with a carbon fiber “tub” to house and protect occupants; this safety and performance booster carried over to the Chiron as well.
The Bugatti Chiron is one of the brand’s latest innovations, along with the Divo. The Chiron is still in production, with plans for a total of 500 models. When you place the Chiron and Veyron side-by-side, it’s clear which is the successor and which is the predecessor.
The Chiron raises the stakes with an upgraded version of the 8.0L quad-turbo W16 capable of 1,479 hp, offering superior 0-62 mph times (under 2.5 seconds) and upgrading the top speed to as much as 304.77 mph, making it the world’s current fastest sports car. It easily surpasses legendary models like the Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari competitors.
The Bugatti Veyron interior is as breathtaking as one would expect. Opening the door, you’re greeted by an aluminum center console that itself is worth more than some cars on the streets of Southwest Ranches. Aluminum, carbon fiber, and leather accents create a supremely crafted cabin, and you’ll find features like a windscreen-mounted spoiler to protect you from whipping winds.
The Bugatti Chiron, being a later addition to the lineup, takes design to another level with a carbon fiber airbag housing (the first of its kind) and a single-sweep design that begins at the top of the windscreen and flows through the cabin. The cabin of the Chiron is unlike anything else, however, thanks to the Skyview option. This floods the cockpit with natural light, generating a spacious feeling you simply will not find in another vehicle.
Although distinct in design and performance, the Bugatti Veyron and Bugatti Chiron share more in common with each other than any other vehicle in the world.
