Bugatti isn’t considering any special edition Chirons in the immediate future according to an insider.
In the six months since the Chiron was launched, over 200 of the allocated 500 units have been accounted for. Because of this, the French marque hasn’t yet felt the need to pull the trigger on special edition models to help entice on-the-fence buyers.
While speaking to Autocar, a company insider said “One-off color schemes and other special editions proved very popular with the Veyron, but we are not at that stage yet. People are eager to buy this car and the volume of sales will keep the factory busy for a long time. We don’t need to look too far ahead.”
Beyond its breathtaking performance, the Veyron will perhaps be best remembered by the dozens of special edition and one-off models Bugatti created to try and sell all 450 examples of the W16-powered hypercar. Remarkably, it took an entire decade for the Bugatti Veyron to sell out but for the Chiron, things have been much easier, even though its yet to be proven.
On paper, its revised 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine churns out an insane 1,500 hp. That should be enough to accelerate the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 2.5 seconds and onto a top speed approaching 280 mph (450 km/h).
