Bugatti is creating quite a stir at the 2019 Concours d’Elegance. After the much-anticipated U.S debut of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire at Pebble Beach, along comes the Bugatti Centodieci. In this crazy world of high-stakes number games, nothing comes close to a Bugatti, particularly one which takes inspiration from the iconic EB110.
We see quite a few "miniature" model of iconic cars being made available for children to drive but that practice isn't a modern invention. More than a century ago, Bugatti made a half scale model of the historic Type 35 racing car for his four-year-old son. The car became so popular that the Bugatti Baby became one of the first limited edition miniature cars in history. To celebrate the company's 110th anniversary Bugatti is bringing the Baby back, this time with more than a few modern features for good measure.
Bugatti's Chiron remains just as impressive today as when it first debuted in 2016. Interestingly, the French carmaker has waited three years to release a special edition of the supercar, but it seems they're finally ready, and just in time for Bugatti's 110th anniversary. Based on the Chiron Sport, the new "110 Ans Bugatti" — which translates to 110 years of Bugatti — celebrates the company and their French heritage.
The Bugatti Chiron is the holy grail of hyper-fast production cars. At the vanguard of engineering and design, it's a big car with big numbers. It also comes with an astronomical price tag: $2.98M before you start piling on any options. Now, $3 million is a lot of money - even for folks with the financial means to even consider a Bugatti in the first place - but the price is an indication of the performance, top speed, and general refinement of the Chiron. It is a ridiculous car that transcends boundaries.
The VW Group has inside its luxury and sports car division some of the most famous marques in the automotive industry. These include Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti. Porsche has been handed the reins to the entire division and word is that it will coordinate all future activities and control where revenues go for Audi, Lambo, Bentley, and Bugatti.
The old adage in the car world says there is no replacement for displacement. In modern cars, turbos and hybrid tech have been replacing displacement and doing a good job of maintaining the performance. Bugatti was a holdout with its massive W16 engine with four turbos crammed inside the Divo hypercar. Fans of those giant motors may need to take a moment to mourn.
This may be the coolest LEGO project ever made. LEGO as taken real LEGO Technic parts and used those parts to construct a life-size and drivable replica of the Bugatti Chiron. This is the first large-scale movable construction that was developed using over a million Technic elements and powered using LEGO Power Function platform. The replica has 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels.
A new Bugatti doesn't come along every day, but just two years after the record-breaking Chiron launched, there's already a fresh example: the Bugatti Divo. Clearly a sibling of the existing car, the Divo nonetheless diverges from the family in its main focus. Read on for five things you need to know about the Bugatti Divo.
Nobody said the Chiron was underwhelming, but the Bugatti Divo certainly suggests there's more than one way to make a ridiculously-fast hypercar. Making its world debut in California today, the Divo reimagines the Chiron as a 1,479 horsepower, crisply-cornering beast.
A dude called Houston Crosta owns a Bugatti Veyron and apparently a bunch of other cars and rents them out to people in Las Vegas. He decided he wanted to do something to the Veyron that apparently had never been done before. From the factory the incredibly expensive Veyron is AWD, Crosta wanted to make the car RWD.
Supercar-maker Bugatti is readying a hardcore new model, with the limited edition Bugatti Divo promising to put handling as its lodestar. Set to be produced in excruciatingly small numbers - and with a correspondingly eye-watering price - the Divo will be officially unveiled at The Quail - A Motorsports Gathering, during Monterey Car Week, on August 24.
A Bugatti Chiron may be out of your price range, but a new LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron is a whole lot more affordable - just don't expect it to do 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds. The latest model in LEGO's highly-accurate line-up of cars, it's a 1:8 scale version of the French supercar.
