The Bugatti Chiron is a high-performance hypercar produced by the French automotive manufacturer Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.
Launched in 2016, the Chiron is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron and has been acclaimed for its exceptional speed, engineering, and luxury.
The Chiron is named after Louis Chiron, a legendary Monaco-born racing driver who competed for Bugatti in the early 20th century.
This naming continues Bugatti’s tradition of honoring racing legends, similar to how the Veyron was named after Pierre Veyron.
