    I think so, a friend told me that the unveiling was well planned for Pebble Beach but the Covid and the cancellation of the event changed the plans.

    Hopefully Bugatti chooses to unveil the car this year and not postpone it. Would be really interesting to see Bugatti’s version of a FXX/Zonda R type of car.

    Great photo - that was an incredible gathering of many special cars!

    btw, I haven't seen it mentioned here yet but upcoming issue of Car and Driver will have a full road test of a regular Chiron.

    Here are the acceleration test results
    0 to 60 in 2.4 sec
    0 to 100 in 4.4 sec
    0 to 150 in 8.6 sec
    0 to 200 in 15.7sec
    1/4 mile in 9.4 sec at 158 mph

    Car is monstrously fast once it is on full boost pressure. Look at the numbers from 60mph onwards

    Yeah, except the Chiron does not cooperate at the drag strip. :(

    Btw, this test data is from a standard 1500 hp Chiron with super tall 261+mph gearing, not the Pur Sport which has 100 more hp and shorter gearing (only 217 mph)

    Has anyone been following the production numbers and values of the Chiron? I think total run is 500. How many have been made and when is the run supposed to end?
    What are values doing in the secondary market for Chirons? Does anyone have any intel please?

    You can advertise any asking price you desire. The actual sold price is what matters. That said, they appear to be a depreciating asset like most other new cars.

    I suspect (no facts here :p ) that Chiron's (much better looking imo) hit used Veyron values hard.

    You could be very right. The old one looks kinda ugly now. I'm sure you could find one under 900k by now.

    I don’t know how else to describe the silky smooth time warp acceleration. It’s like nothing I have ever experienced.
