Bugatti Sold 70 Cars this Year

Just a few days ago, the Volkswagen Group announced that it had nearly sold 1,000,000 cars in November. Little did we know then how big a role Bugatti has played in that figure.

Untethered by such gauche responsibilities as announcing monthly sales figures (and don’t you know it’s rude to ask, where did you go to finishing school?), Bugatti has been a bit of a mystery as far as volume is concerned.

Now, though, the French super carmaker has announced that it achieved its goal of selling 70 cars this year.

“It is a tremendous success for the entire Bugatti team that we have already reached the target of 70 vehicles in the first full year of production of the Chiron,” said Wolfgang Durheimer, the soon to retire president Bugatti. “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our suppliers for their commitment and delivery compliance.”

With more than 300 cars already ordered, and a further 200 still available (in the future, of course) Bugatti will have to continue working on the Chiron for another 6 years before the run is done, which is a pretty smart business model when you think about it.

Bugatti also revealed that 49% of Chirons were sold in either North America or the Middle East, 43% were sold in Europe, and 8% were sold in the Asia-Pacific region.

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.
