Bugatti Has Taken Over 100 Orders For New Chiron Sight Unseen

The Bugatti Veyron replacement will be called the Bugatti Chiron, and will be revealed at the 2016 Geneva motor show.

The Chiron name is taken from the 1920s and 1930s grand prix racer Louis Chiron, who scored notable results in European Championship events for Bugatti, including winning the 1931 French Grand Prix at the wheel of a Bugatti T51. His career was interrupted by the war, but he went on to race for marques including Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Maserati.

To *me*, it looks considerably worse than the outgoing Veyon, especially that "folded dough" rear end. Yikes.

If the Chiron got 'cancelled' because of resource constraints at VW parent, that would be a great, unexpected, outcome of 'dieselgate'.

Would those 100 still want it if it were priced so that each vehicle made a profit? VW can't afford to take any lose on this, so raise the price to the max.,

There are certain cars that people want no matter what. Like the people who bought TVRs last summer sight unseen.
