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...

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 ...
