Specifications and performance

The engine in the Chiron has a peak power output of {{convert|1103|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} at 6,700 rpm and {{convert|1600|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque starting from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm.{{Cite web|title=180301_Bugatti_Chiron_en.pdf|url=https://www.bugatti.com/fileadmin/media/Media/MediaKit/180301_Bugatti_Chiron_en.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108104909/https://www.bugatti.com/fileadmin/media/Media/MediaKit/180301_Bugatti_Chiron_en.pdf|archive-date=8 November 2020|access-date=23 August 2020}} The engine in the most powerful variant of its predecessor, the Veyron Super Sport generates {{convert|221|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} less than the new Chiron, while the engine in the original Veyron generates {{cvt|367|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} less power.{{Cite web |url=https://www.bugatti.com/fileadmin/media/Media/Veyron/Veyron_16.4/Technical_Specifications_Bugatti_Veyron_16.4.pdf |title=Bugatti Veyron 16.4 – Technical Specifications |publisher=Bugatti |date=2018-05-04 |access-date=2018-05-05 |archive-date=2018-04-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180427120253/https://www.bugatti.com/fileadmin/media/Media/Veyron/Veyron_16.4/Technical_Specifications_Bugatti_Veyron_16.4.pdf |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bugatti/92681/bugatti-chiron-everything-we-know-so-far-about-the-1479bhp-hypercar |title=Bugatti Chiron: everything we know about the 1,479bhp hypercar |first=Jonathan |last=Burn |work=Auto Express |location=UK |date=2016-08-22 |access-date=2016-10-28 |archive-date=2016-06-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160624122753/http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bugatti/92681/bugatti-chiron-everything-we-know-so-far-about-the-1479bhp-hypercar |url-status=live }}

The Chiron can accelerate from {{convert|0-100|kph|mph|abbr=on}} in 2.4 seconds according to the manufacturer, {{convert|0-200|kph|mph|abbr=on}} in 6.5 seconds and {{convert|0-300|kph|mph|abbr=on}} in 13.6 seconds. In a world-record-setting test at the time in 2017, the Chiron reached {{convert|400|kph|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 32.6 seconds, after which it needed 9.4 seconds to brake to standstill.{{cite web|url=https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2017/09/Bugatti_Chiron.html|title=0-400-0 km/h in 42 seconds: Bugatti Chiron sets world record|publisher=Volkswagen AG|date=2017-09-11|access-date=2017-09-13|archive-date=2017-09-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913183901/https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2017/09/Bugatti_Chiron.html|url-status=live}}

The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to {{convert|261|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}, or {{convert|233-236|mph|kph|abbr=on|order=flip}} without the specific key, for safety reasons, mainly arising from the tyres as Bugatti concluded that no tyre currently manufactured would be able to handle the stress at the top speed the Chiron is capable of achieving.{{cite news |url=http://www.caranddriver.com/bugatti/chiron |title=Bugatti Chiron |first=Alexander |last=Stoklosa |work=Car and Driver |location=US |date=February 2016 |access-date=2016-03-23 |archive-date=2016-03-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324030630/http://www.caranddriver.com/bugatti/chiron |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/a10187823/bugatti-chiron-top-speed-tires/ |title=The Bugatti Chiron Can't Max Out its 310-MPH Speedo Until Someone Makes a Tire That Can Withstand Those Speeds |first=Chris |last=Perkins |work=Road and Track |location=US |date=2012-06-21 |access-date=2018-11-17 |archive-date=2018-11-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181117063316/https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/a10187823/bugatti-chiron-top-speed-tires/ |url-status=live }} Independent testing by an owner has indicated that the Chiron can easily attain its limited top speed.{{cite web |url=https://www.techeblog.com/bugatti-chiron-261-mph-top-speed/ |title=Bugatti Chiron Hits 261 MPH in New Top Speed Run, Sounds Like a Jet Fighter Blasting Off |date=2018-12-16 |publisher=Tech e blog |access-date=2019-01-28 |archive-date=2019-01-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129005900/https://www.techeblog.com/bugatti-chiron-261-mph-top-speed/ |url-status=live }} Mixed fuel consumption is {{cvt|22.5|L/100km|2}}.{{cite web |title=Bugatti Chiron specifications |url=https://www.auto-data.net/en/bugatti-chiron-model-2112 |website=auto-data.net |access-date=2019-07-31 |archive-date=2019-07-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190723102945/https://www.auto-data.net/en/bugatti-chiron-model-2112 |url-status=live }}

At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti unveiled the track focused version of the Chiron, named the Chiron Sport. Mechanically the car is identical to the regular version, generating {{cvt|1500|PS|kW hp|round=5|abbr=on}} from a quad-turbocharged W16 engine but is {{cvt|40|lb|kg|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} lighter due to a lighter, more unrestricted exhaust system, the extensive use of carbon fibre, and a stiffer suspension in order to increase the cornering ability of the car while maintaining its grand touring characteristics. The steering of the car has also received modifications and a torque vectoring system to control the power sent to each wheel of the car for improved handling in tight corners has been added. Aerodynamic improvements and light weight have been given special consideration in order to keep the car competitive on the race track. The Chiron Sport became available in late 2018 for an additional {{currency|400,000|USD|linked=no}} on the standard Chiron.{{cite news|url=https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/06/luxury/bugatti-chiron-sport-geneva/index.html|title=Bugatti unveils the $3.4M Chiron Sport for the race track|last=Valdes-Dapena|first=Peter|date=2018-03-06|access-date=2018-03-07|website=CNN Money|archive-date=2018-03-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180306103301/http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/06/luxury/bugatti-chiron-sport-geneva/index.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/6/17087432/bugatti-chiron-sport-geneva-motor-show-2018|title=Sitting inside the $3.4M Bugatti Chiron Sport didn't make me a better person|last=Savov|first=Vlad|date=2018-03-06|access-date=2018-03-07|website=The Verge|archive-date=2018-03-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180308041534/https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/6/17087432/bugatti-chiron-sport-geneva-motor-show-2018|url-status=live}}

On 8 September 2019, Bugatti presented a limited production high performance variant of the Chiron called the Chiron Super Sport 300+ to owners taking part in the company's 110th-anniversary tour in Europe.{{cite press release |title=Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ – A Gift to Celebrate the Record |url=https://newsroom.bugatti.com/press-releases/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-plus |access-date=23 December 2022 |publisher=Bugatti |date=9 September 2019 |location=Molsheim}} The variant is limited to 30 examples at a net unit price of 3.5 million euros. Changes from the standard Chiron include a more powerful engine, increased top speed, and a characteristic paint scheme featuring a lacquer-coated carbon fibre body with orange stripes, echoing the aesthetics of the company's previous top speed record-breaking cars, the Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition and the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car.

The car is powered by a {{cvt|1600|PS|PS kW hp|round=5|abbr=on|order=out}} quad-turbocharged W16 engine shared with the Bugatti Centodieci, nicknamed "Thor". This car has a grey Bugatti logo made of black enamel and silver, the exhaust system from the Centodieci, a modified gearbox with longer ratios and front and rear bumpers optimised for aerodynamics at high speed, resulting in the overall length increase of the car by {{cvt|9.8|in|mm|1|abbr=on|order=flip}}.

The Super Sport 300+ was also equipped with a top speed limiter, akin to the one found in the standard Chiron. Without the limiter, Bugatti claimed the car could attain a maximum speed in excess of {{cvt|300|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}, with {{cvt|304.7|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} being achieved in August 2019 with a pre-production model. Bugatti also prepared the cars of owners who want to take the car to its full potential at the Ehra-Lessien test track.{{Cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28927762/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-photos-info/ |title=Bugatti Launches Limited Chiron Super Sport 300+, World's Fastest Production Car |first=Mike |last=Duff |work=Car & Driver |url-status=live |date=2019-09-08 |access-date=2019-09-08 |archive-date=2019-10-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191004174726/https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28927762/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-photos-info/ }}{{Cite news |url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-production-300mph-car |title=The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport+ is a production 300mph car |work=Top Gear |location=UK |date=2019-09-08 |access-date=2019-09-08 |archive-date=2020-11-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108104910/https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-production-300mph-car |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the-42m-bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-has-arrived/ |title=The £4.2m Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ Has Arrived |first=Matt |last=Robinson |work=CarThrottle |date=2019-09-09 |access-date=2019-09-09 |archive-date=2019-09-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190909093257/https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the-42m-bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-has-arrived/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite news |url=https://www.topspeed.com/cars/bugatti/2020-bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300/ |title=Bugatti's Chiron Super Sport 300+ is the fastest car on Earth.

File:Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport.jpg

On 3 March 2020, Bugatti introduced the Chiron Pur Sport, a handling-focused model limited to 60 units. The tachometer has an additional 200 rpm, increasing the redline to 6,900 rpm. 80 per cent of the transmission has been revised for a 15 per cent closer gear-ratio spread benefiting the power band. The Pur Sport is {{cvt|50|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} lighter than the standard Chiron due to a lightweight 3D printed titanium exhaust, a fixed rear spoiler and extensive use of Alcantara, anodised aluminium and titanium on the interior. The front horseshoe grille is also wider than on a regular Chiron. The wheels have special spokes called "aero blades" which are designed to channel turbulent air near the wheel down the side of the vehicle to the rear diffuser. The tyres are Michelin Sport Cup 2R increasing lateral grip by 10 per cent, and were co-developed with Michelin. To improve handling, the springs were made 65 per cent stiffer at the front and 33 per cent at the rear, aided by revised damper tuning and wheel camber along with additional front and rear carbon-fibre anti-roll bars and a new Sport+ drive mode. Production of the Pur Sport was to start in late 2020.{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a31210941/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-photos-info/|title=1500-HP Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Is a $3.6 Million Apex Hunter|work=Car and Driver|last=Mortimer|first=Maxwell|date=3 March 2020|access-date=3 March 2020|archive-date=3 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200303234802/https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a31210941/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-photos-info/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-2902991/|title=Bugatti's New Chiron Pur Sport Is an Even More Responsive Rocket|last=Cava|first=Marco Della|date=2020-03-04|website=Robb Report|language=en|access-date=2020-03-05|archive-date=2020-06-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200603233444/https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-2902991/|url-status=live}} The first car was delivered to the owner in United States in January 2021.{{cite press release |title=Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport – Delivery to Customers Begins |url=https://newsroom.bugatti.com/press-releases/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-delivery-to-customers-begins |access-date=23 December 2022 |publisher=Bugatti |date=15 January 2021 |location=Molsheim/Greenwich}} Deliveries reached the halfway mark on 1 December 2022.{{cite press release |title=Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport – 'Drifting The C' |url=https://www.bugatti.com/media/news/2022/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-drifting-the-c/ |access-date=23 December 2022 |publisher=Bugatti |date=1 December 2022 |location=Molsheim}}

Introduced in November 2020, the "Les Légendes du Ciel" Chiron is a limited edition version of the Chiron Sport developed to celebrate Bugatti's racing drivers that flew in the French Air Force.

The car features a new grill, a French flag behind the front wheels, a matte grey ("Gris Serpent") exterior colour with a gloss white stripe in the centre. The interior is upholstered in tan leather and turned aluminium.

Production was limited to 20 units and started in late 2020 at €2.88 million each.{{Cite web|date=2020-11-24|title=This special edition Chiron Sport is Bugatti's tribute to pilots|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/special-edition-chiron-sport-bugattis-tribute-pilots|access-date=2021-01-21|website=Top Gear|language=en}}{{cite press release |title=Bugatti Chiron Sport "Les Légendes Du Ciel" |url=https://newsroom.bugatti.com/press-releases/bugatti-chiron-sport-les-legendes-du-ciel |access-date=23 December 2022 |publisher=Bugatti |date=24 November 2020 |location=Molsheim}}

The Chiron Super Sport had the same power output as the 300+ but was limited to {{convert|440|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}. It also has the capability to accelerate from {{convert|0-200|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 5.8 seconds and from {{convert|0-300|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 12.1 seconds.

The Chiron Pur Sport Grand Prix was announced in December 2021. It is the first project of Bugatti's new ‘Sur Mesure’ (meaning tailored in French) customization program, so it is a one-off car. In 1931, Louis Chiron won the French Grand Prix at Montlhéry in his Type 51 – an enhanced version of the legendary Type 35 – together with Achille Varzi. The number 32 was displayed in bold letters on their racing car and is now hand painted on the doors of the Chiron Pur Sport 'Grand Prix'. "EB" logo patterns are also hand painted in red on the front and rear fenders. Inside, the car features black leather and red Alcantara, embroidered "EB" pattern on the door panels and black anodized aluminum trim panels with silver logos.{{Citation |title=BUGATTI Sur Mesure: Introducing the CHIRON Pur Sport 'Grand Prix' | date=9 December 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJMVtehIrqo |language=en |access-date=2022-03-28}}{{Cite web |title=One-off Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport shows off brand's custom program |url=https://www.autoblog.com/2021/12/09/bugatti-chiron-pur-sport-gp-sur-mesure-customization-program-one-off/ |access-date=2022-07-15 |website=Autoblog |date=9 December 2021 |language=en}}

The Chiron Profilée is a one-off special introduced in December 2022. It is based on the Chiron Pur Sport, but features a new aerodynamic profile characterized by wider air dams and a bigger grille up front, a redesigned front splitter, and a relatively small rear wing with a hollow middle section. Bugatti also made changes to the steering and suspension systems, and it gave the seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission 15% shorter gear ratios. It is the fastest-accelerating car of the Chiron range with a {{convert|0-100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} of 2.3 seconds. {{convert|0-200|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} takes 5.5 seconds and {{convert|0-300|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} takes 12.4 seconds. It has a top speed of {{convert|380|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}. It's finished in silver (Argent Atlantique) and the bottom part of the car features bare carbon fiber that's tinted in blue (Bleu Royal Carbon). It is the first Chiron fitted with woven leather on the dashboard, the center console and the door panels.{{cite web |title=Bugatti Chiron Profilée One-Off W16 Hypercar Heads To Auction |url=https://www.motor1.com/news/627679/bugatti-chiron-profilee-revealed/ |website=www.motor1.com |access-date=22 December 2022}}

Bugatti had planned to build 30 units, but as the production of its pre-series vehicle started, all 500 Chiron slots were already assigned. The project was cancelled and the car never entered production thus only one example was built and it is fully street-legal in European markets. On the 1 February 2023, the Profilée was sold at auction by RM Sotheby's for {{euro|9,792,500|link=yes}}, with a percentage of the proceeds going to benefit charitable causes. At the time of its sale, it was believed to be the last street-legal W16-powered car Bugatti sold, as the Chiron and the Mistral were already sold-out.{{cite press release |title=The Bugatti Chiron Profilée: An Automotive Solitaire |url=https://newsroom.bugatti.com/press-releases/the-bugatti-chiron-profilee-an-automotive-solitaire |access-date=23 December 2022 |date=21 December 2022 |location=Molsheim}}

The La Voiture Noire is a one-off special introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Chiron, the design of the car harkens back to the Type 57 SC Atlantic and is a celebration of the company's distinctive design history. The car has a hand-built body made from carbon fibre designed by Bugatti designer Etienne Salomé which has an elongated nose (similar to that on the Divo) and an elongated back section. Other notable features include unique wing mirrors, LED taillight strip, and wheels. Unlike the original, the car has a mid-engine layout.

A trim piece running from the front of the car to the rear spoiler recalls the dorsal fin present on the Type 57 SC. The car features a floating windscreen and has masked A-pillars. The La Voiture Noire shares many design similarities with the Bugatti Rembrandt, a cancelled front-engine grand tourer powered by the Chiron's W16 engine.{{Cite web|last=Horncastle|first=Rowan|date=2020-02-17|title=These are Bugatti's secret concept cars|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/concept/these-are-bugattis-secret-concept-cars|url-status=live|access-date=2021-07-04|website=Top Gear|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200218141722/https://www.topgear.com/car-news/concept/these-are-bugattis-secret-concept-cars |archive-date=2020-02-18 }}

The La Voiture Noire is powered by the same 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine from the Chiron having the same power output figures but the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the all-wheel-drive system are heavily revised in order to allow for a more relaxed driving experience. Softer dampers and a revised chassis contribute to the factor. The car features six exhaust pipes recalling the innovative design of the past.

Performance figures remain unknown but the company states that the car is likely to have lower top speed and acceleration times as compared to the Chiron due to its Grand Touring nature. The car sold for {{GBP|9.5 million}}, which makes it one of the most expensive cars built to date.{{cite news |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bugatti/106184/new-one-off-bugatti-la-voiture-noire-revealed-at-geneva |title=New one-off Bugatti La Voiture Noire revealed at Geneva |work=Auto Express |date=2019-03-05 |access-date=2019-03-05 |archive-date=2019-03-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190305151058/https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bugatti/106184/new-one-off-bugatti-la-voiture-noire-revealed-at-geneva |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.designboom.com/technology/bugatti-la-voiture-noire-hypercar-03-05-2019/ |title=one-off Bugatti la Voiture Noire reinterprets the type 57 SC Atlantic |date=2019-03-05 |work=Design boom |access-date=2019-03-05 |archive-date=2019-03-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043401/https://www.designboom.com/technology/bugatti-la-voiture-noire-hypercar-03-05-2019/ |url-status=live }}

A statement made later by the company confirmed that the car on display was a concept car and that the final product would take two and a half years more to complete.

According to reports from tabloid newspapers, La Voiture Noire was registered in Zurich, Switzerland in December 2021.{{Cite web|date=2022-01-24|title=Der Bugatti La Voiture Noire fährt jetzt mit Zürcher Nummernschild|url=https://www.20min.ch/story/der-bugatti-la-voiture-noire-faehrt-jetzt-mit-zuercher-nummernschild-759199970621|access-date=2022-02-08|website=20 Minuten|language=de}} La Voiture Noire is owned by a member of the family of the late Ferdinand Piëch, the man for whom the car was initially commissioned (though he died before receiving it).{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

At the 2017 IAA show in Frankfurt, Bugatti announced that the Chiron broke the record of fastest {{Convert|0-400-0|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} acceleration time, completing it in 41.96 seconds in a span of {{Convert|2|mi|km|1|abbr=off|order=flip}} at the Ehra-Lessien high-speed oval on a weekend in August 2017.{{cite press release |title=0-400-0 km/h in 42 Seconds: Bugatti Chiron Sets World Record |url=https://newsroom.bugatti.com/press-releases/0-400-0-km-h-in-42-seconds-bugatti-chiron-sets-world-record |access-date=23 December 2022 |publisher=Bugatti |date=11 September 2017 |location=Molsheim/Frankfurt}} The car was driven by Colombian racing driver Juan Pablo Montoya.{{Citation | last=Bugatti | title=BUGATTI Chiron 0-400-0 km/h in 42 seconds – A WORLD RECORD #IAA2017 | date=2017-09-12 | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkkV1vLHUvQ | access-date=2017-09-14 | archive-date=2017-09-13 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913224424/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkkV1vLHUvQ | url-status=live }}{{Cite web | url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/frankfurt-motor-show/watch-bugatti-chiron-go-0-249mph-0 | title=Watch the Bugatti Chiron go from 0-249mph-0 | website=www.topgear.com | date=12 September 2017 | language=en | access-date=2017-09-14 | archive-date=2017-09-13 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913221138/https://www.topgear.com/car-news/frankfurt-motor-show/watch-bugatti-chiron-go-0-249mph-0 | url-status=live }}{{Cite news | url=http://www.businessinsider.com/bugatti-chiron-set-new-speed-record-2017-9 | title=The $3 million Bugatti Chiron just set a new speed record | work=Business Insider | access-date=2017-09-14 | language=en | archive-date=2017-09-13 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913121500/http://www.businessinsider.com/bugatti-chiron-set-new-speed-record-2017-9 | url-status=live }}

Bugatti also added an extra livery to the Chiron on display to confirm that it was the same car that broke the {{convert|0–400–0|km/h|0|abbr=on}} record.{{Citation | last=ExpovistaTV | title=Bugatti Chiron Makes Land Speed Record. | date=2017-09-12 | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTAism6n3Ho | access-date=2017-09-14 | archive-date=2020-11-08 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108104910/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTAism6n3Ho | url-status=live }} During the show, Bugatti also mentioned that during the run, the car accelerated from {{Convert|0-62|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} in 2.4 seconds, {{Convert|0-124|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} in 6.1 seconds, {{Convert|0-186|mph|kph|abbr=on|order=flip|round=5}} in 13.1 seconds, and {{Convert|0-248.5|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} in 32.6 seconds, which altogether, also makes the Chiron faster than its predecessor, the Veyron.

The record has since been broken by the Koenigsegg Regera and other vehicles.

=Top speed achievement=

On 2 August 2019, Bugatti test driver Andy Wallace achieved a speed of {{cvt|490.484|kph|mph|abbr=on}} in a pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype at Volkswagen's test facility in Ehra-Lessien. The speed was verified by the TÜV, Germany's Technical Inspection Association. In its final production form, the Chiron SS 300+ has different seats, no roll-cage, standard ride height and an electronically limited top speed of {{cvt|440|kph|mph|1}}.{{Cite web |date=2019-09-02 |title=Bugatti has broken the 300mph barrier |url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/tg-awards-2019/bugatti-has-broken-300mph-barrier |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Top Gear |language=en}}{{Cite web |first=Andrew |last=Sluys |date=2019-09-03 |title=Watch: Bugatti Chiron hits 490km/h in a record-breaking speed run |url=https://www.driven.co.nz/news/watch-bugatti-chiron-hits-490km-h-in-a-record-breaking-speed-run/ |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Driven}}

The car was developed under Bugatti head exterior designer Frank Heyl in collaboration with Italian automobile engineering firm Dallara and tyre manufacturer Michelin over the course of six months. The overall length of the car was increased by {{cvt|9.8|in|mm|1|abbr=on|order=flip}} and it is fitted by a laser-controlled ride height system in order to reduce drag. To further reduce drag and aid aerodynamics, the electronically controlled rear wing was removed and was replaced with a long tail incorporating a rear wing with a short cross-section. A full roll cage was added for safety reasons, and the passenger seat was removed to make way for data recording equipment used to validate the record run. The car incorporates an exhaust system first introduced on the Bugatti Centodieci in order to further reduce aerodynamic drag. Mechanically, the engine was modified to generate {{cvt|1177|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} of power output with no changes to the gearbox and all-wheel-drive system.{{Cite web|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/tg-awards-2019/bugatti-has-broken-300mph-barrier|title=Bugatti has broken the 300mph barrier|date=2019-09-02|website=Top Gear|language=en|access-date=2022-05-15|archive-date=2019-09-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190902080725/https://www.topgear.com/car-news/bugatti-has-broken-300mph-barrier|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300-production-300mph-car|title=The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is a production 300mph car|date=2019-09-08|website=Top Gear|language=en|access-date=2022-05-15}}

The Chiron was recreated in Lego as 2018's biennial Technic sports car. It was released on 1 June 2018 as a 1:8 scale model with 3,600 individual parts.{{cite news|url=https://brickset.com/article/34833/42083-bugatti-chiron-to-be-released-in-june/|title=42083 Bugatti Chiron to be released in June.|work=Brickset.com|location=UK|date=2018-03-11|access-date=2018-03-11|archive-date=2018-06-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620124751/https://brickset.com/article/34833/42083-bugatti-chiron-to-be-released-in-june/|url-status=live}}

On 30 August 2018, Lego unveiled a working full-sized model of the Chiron. It was constructed almost entirely with Lego Technic elements (339 unique types, over 1,000,000 pieces in total) with exceptions for the Bugatti badge, the wheels, a steel frame, a steel roll cage, a steel drive chain and the seat belts. The engine was created from 2,304 Lego Power Function motors found in standard models; it was estimated to produce {{Convert|4|kW|hp |1|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|92|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. The car was test driven by Andy Wallace, Bugatti's official test driver, at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/technic/bugatti-chiron/build-for-real?icmp=COXXXXHomeMSXTechnicProduct42083BuildForReal|title=With LEGO Technic we like to state that you build for real.
