The 250th Bugatti Chiron Is A Stealthy Black Carbon Fiber Beast

Production of the Bugatti Chiron has entered its second half, as the Molsheim automaker has revealed the 250th example of the hypercar out of a total planned production run of 500.

Named the Chiron Sport “Edition Noire Sportive” and dressed in a matte carbon fiber-look body with a matching all-black interior, this example was inspired by the one-off La Voiture Noire.

The latest Chiron to roll out of the factory won’t be shipped immediately to its new owner as it will be making a lengthy stop in Switzerland next month for the 2020 Geneva Motor Show where it will be displayed at the brand’s stand.

“Every Chiron that has left our Atelier in the past three years is a technological masterpiece. This also applies to the 250th specimen”, said CEO Stephan Winkelmann. “Reaching this mark in such a short amount of time is an amazing accomplishment that fills me with pride. I am looking forward to the second half of the production cycle.”

The Chiron Noire Sportive, which packs an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine, making 1,500 PS (1,479 HP / 1,103 kW) and 1,600 Nm (1,180 lb-ft) of torque, is part of a 20-unit production run, alongside the Noire Elegance. Bugatti didn’t reveal the price for the specific model, but the Chiron starts from €3 million (equal to $3.25 million at current rates), so it’s safe to assume it cost its lucky owner a bit more than that.

How many Chirons left?

Bugatti has announced that another 150 Chirons have already been spoken and paid for, which leaves fewer than 100 units available for sale, but you might not want to wait that long as production of the hypercar is scheduled to come to an end next year.
