The modern Bugatti company has been crafting the fastest hyper sports cars for over two decades now, and the Chiron and Veyron are two of their most acclaimed models. Both represent the peak engineering of their times, and now that both have officially ceased production, they’ve passed on to legendary status in the world of automobiles.
So, if you happen to have a couple million dollars lying around, which one should you buy? Let’s compare their legendary specs to see how they stack up.
Look up any list of the quickest cars in existence, and you’re sure to find at least one Bugatti model somewhere near the top. That’s because Bugatti has been at the vanguard of performance development for well over a hundred years, from their beginnings at the turn of the 20th Century, to the founding of modern Bugatti as we know it and all the way up to the present day.
Of course, crafting the fastest cars is all well and good, but it’s an entirely different task to make one that’s street-legal in the U…
Just a short couple of years ago, Bugatti announced the coming of the W16 Mistral. So-named for the powerful prevailing winds that gust through marque’s homeland of Southern France, this bespoke luxury car has another major claim to fame—it’s the last production model ever made with the iconic W16 engine.
The Mistral officially marks the end of an era, but it’s not a cause for tears. Instead, it represents an opportunity to look at the past, present, and future of the world’s fastest vehicles.
The official release date is still a while away, but the Tourbillion has already seen some road time, and has even graced the streets of Southern California already for an exclusive event. Read on to see where it’s been so far:
