Bugatti Could Speed Up Chiron Production Even More

With 220 Chirons already sold, Bugatti is speeding up production to get cars into the hands of owners quicker.

The company originally planned to build 500 Chirons over eight years but according to GT Spirit, that timeframe could be revisited based on demand. Currently the automaker has decided to increase capacity to 65 units for next year, meaning anyone that places a new order today will have to wait at least three years before they get their Chiron.

Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Durheimer confirmed in an interview that the company’s “full focus is on building and delivering the Chirons for customers who have placed an order so far,” debunking rumors that the automaker was considering a limited run of its Vision Gran Turismo Concept.

The company will continue to deliver Chirons to existing Bugatti owners first, valuing loyalty to the brand. So far, only one pre-production Chiron has been delivered to a customer, the same person that also purchased the one-off Gran Turismo Concept. The next deliveries are scheduled to begin next year and from then on, expect around five units to be produced per month.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
