Take a Look Inside the Gorgeous Factory Where the Bugatti Chiron is Built

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Bugatti has released a set of photos taking us inside its Molsheim, France factory where its all-new Chiron is being built. 

Right now, 12 of the new super sports cars are in production, with a total of 70 cars planned for this year. In total, Bugatti plans to build 500 of these cars, though production could be increased if there is enough demand.

It takes roughly six months from the start of production to delivery. Each Chiron is unique, designed by its owner with the help of a designer from Bugatti. There are tons of choices, including 23 different exterior colors, eight carbon fiber finishes, 30 stitching options, 18 carpet choices and even 11 different seat belt colors. On top of all those choices, Bugatti will match any color you bring them.

To build the carbon fiber monocoque alone, it takes a Bugatti technician about four weeks, as the body shell can be up to eight layers thick

As a refresher, this machine makes 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, coming from a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16. Top speed is limited to 261 miles an hour, though it’s likely that Bugatti will eventually take the restrictions off and see how fast this car can really go.

Not surprisingly, the Chiron is going to sell for about $2.6 million.

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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
