Bugatti Delivers Unique Yellow Chiron to First Customer in the US

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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
