Bugatti

Bugatti is a specialist hypercar maker based in Molsheim, France. It builds some of the most exclusive and expensive top-ranking hypercars in the world. Not being ordinary sports cars or supercars, the Bugatti price list starts at nearly $3,000,000 in the US and this puts the price for a Bugatti car well out of the reach of everyone but the super-rich. However, these cars are more than just expensive artworks. They exist to push the boundaries of engineering without compromising on luxury. That is the purpose of a Bugatti - to go as fast as possible while making the experience feel as ordinary and comfortable as getting milk in a Rolls-Royce. See, no matter what Bugatti does, its inherent nature is one of drama, and this is one of the facets that makes it so attractive. With incredible worldwide success, the brand has the capability to push itself further in performance, luxury, bespoke design, and of course, price. The clever design of these cars has also meant that Bugatti has been able to keep costs relatively low by basing most models on the Chiron, although extreme models like the Bolide suggest that Bugatti is willing to gamble on the future with new ideas too.

2021 Bugatti Models: Bugatti Vehicles Currently For Sale

Bugatti has a rich heritage, but it had all but faded into obscurity before the Veyron arrived. With that winning recipe proving that the world’s wealthy are willing to fork out loads of cash for a product that was unrivaled, Bugatti became the name on everyone’s lips. Although the same sort of engine is fitted to the Chiron as was to the Veyron, the former is not a facelift of the latter. Instead, it’s an all-new car that proved that you didn’t have to build an ugly car to break speed records. However, while the Veyron spawned countless special editions that were all largely the same car with different interior and exterior finishes, the Chiron has followed a similar recipe but has also birthed completely new models like the Divo and Centodieci.

The current Bugatti lineup looks like this:

• Bugatti Chiron: The hypercar that succeeded the Veyron offers blistering performance, a top speed of over 260 mph, arresting looks, and the most exotic materials for its construction. Starting at nearly $3,000,000, it is also extremely expensive. Bugatti does not believe in modern touchscreen infotainment systems because it detracts from the driving experience, so none of the car’s audio or other features are controlled by a touchscreen, but by physical controls instead. Additional Chiron derivatives include the handling-optimized Chiron Pur Sport, the Chiron Super Sport (the newest Bugatti vehicle), and the earlier record-breaking Chiron Super Sport 300+, of which only 30 will be built.
• Bugatti Centodieci: “Centodieci” means 110 in Italian. This model costs three times the price of a normal Chiron and only ten will be made. It is extremely rare and is meant to evoke the styling of the EB110 Super Sport, which it does masterfully. It exists solely to part rich people from their money, but one could argue that it is a design exercise that shows what the EB110 would have looked like if built today. With clever details like Bugatti’s modern signature four-detail headlights being integrated, an exquisite rear light bar, and stacked exhaust tips, there’s plenty to look at, but that’s pretty much all this overpriced art piece is good for.
• Bugatti Divo: About the same size as the other Bugattis, the Divo is a track-focused and -optimized car. It costs nearly double a Chiron’s price but has seen its body completely redesigned with aero enhancements and weight-saving panels and components. Even for Bugatti clientele, exclusivity is guaranteed with a production run of 40 cars. It produces the same 1,479 horsepower as the ‘regular’ Chiron, but with better aero, less weight, an adjustable rear spoiler, a stabilizing rear fin, and a retuned chassis, this is the sportier and more nimble Bugatti that Molsheim’s customers had been asking for. Top speed is lower than that of the Chiron, but it can lap the Nardo handling circuit eight seconds quicker.

This is how the prices of the new 2021 Bugatti cars currently available in the USA compare:
