Bugatti's Last 1,500-HP Chiron Marks the End of an Era

17 Jan 2024

After eight years of setting the automotive world ablaze, Bugatti has officially announced the end of the road for the Chiron. The last 1,500-horsepower Chiron has rolled off the production line at Bugatti's Molsheim factory, marking the conclusion of a remarkable chapter in the brand's history. However, the saga might not be entirely over, as Bugatti enthusiasts eagerly await what lies ahead.

The Final Model

The Final Model

The spotlight is on the Chiron 1500 PS trim, which Bugatti claims to be the last of its kind. Adorned in the distinctive colors of Nocturne and Copper, this Chiron is far from ordinary. Customized by Bugatti's Sur Measure in-house service, it embodies the epitome of luxury and performance. Despite being labeled the "final" Chiron, it's crucial to clarify that this is merely the last of the base model Chirons, not the conclusion of the Chiron legacy as a whole. 

Bilal Hydrie, a Canadian oil and gas company executive, proudly takes ownership of the final Chiron. Describing himself as an "entrepreneur and risk-taker," Hydrie ordered this exclusive vehicle in November 2021. While he discreetly concealed the pricing details in his social media posts, the revealed digit suggests a price tag surpassing $3,000,000 – a testament to the Chiron's elite status even in its "entry-level" configuration.

As Bugatti bids adieu to the Chiron, speculation is rife about how many more "final" models will roll out of Molsheim before the arrival of the long-awaited successor. With undisclosed numbers of Chiron Pur Sport, Mistral, and Bolide yet to find their owners, the automotive world remains on the edge of its seat, eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Bugatti's illustrious history.

Bugatti's announcement of the last 1,500-HP Chiron marks the end of an era, but the legacy of this iconic hypercar is far from over. As the final Chiron finds its home with Bilal Hydrie, enthusiasts brace themselves for the unveiling of Bugatti's next masterpiece. In the meantime, the anticipation and excitement surrounding the Chiron's successor continue to build, ensuring that Bugatti's legacy of unparalleled performance and luxury will endure for years to come.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The Fastest, Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.

• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.

• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.

“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
