Bugatti Delivers Unique Yellow Chiron to First Customer in the US

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Monterey Car Week is one of the fanciest automotive events in the world, so of course, Bugatti would use the special occasion to deliver a bright yellow Chiron to its first client in the U.S.

This special Chiron has a unique black and yellow color scheme both inside and out that makes the hypercar stand out even more. The Chiron has special yellow rims, yellow embroidery in the seats, and yellow leather inside. The rare exotic is powered by a monstrous 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that outputs 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque. That rockets the French hypercar to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.

North America is the second-most important market for Bugatti after Europe, and it’s surprising that it outweighs the Middle East in terms of sales. So far, Bugatti says about 30 percent of all the Chiron orders in the world came from customers in the U.S. The price for the Chiron in the U.S. is about $3-million, and production for the whole world has been capped at 500 models, half of which are already sold.

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.
