With unchanged power and performance data, the Chiron Sport offers significantly improved handling and even greater agility. For this purpose, Bugatti has developed a dynamic handling package and reduced the weight of its car by about 40 pounds. As a result, the Chiron Sport reaches higher cornering speeds and can lap the Nardò handling circuit in the south of Italy five seconds faster than the Chiron. The main differences between the appearance of the Chiron Sport and the Chiron standard version are a new wheel design and new four-pipe exhaust deflector. The basic price of the Chiron Sport for the US market is US$3.26 million including transport, customs duties, taxes and fees. In addition, there is an optional colour and trim package allowing customers to individually tailor the sporty appearance of their Chiron Sport. It is planned to deliver the first vehicles to customers at the end of the year.
Since it was established in 1909, Bugatti has had its headquarters at Molsheim, Alsace, where 450 Veyrons were hand-crafted from 2005 to 2015. The production of the Chiron started in the autumn of 2016. With 70 cars built and delivered to customers all over the world, Bugatti successfully closed the Chiron's first full year of production in 2017.
