A Bugatti fan from Malaysia, Muhammad Al Qawi Zamani, shared the intricacies of servicing the Chiron hypercar on his Facebook page. The figures he published can shock even seasoned service advisors and mechanics.
Take the first scheduled maintenance, which needs to be performed 14 months after purchase or at 16,000 km. It costs $24,979. This includes changing the engine oil, oil filter, and coolant. True, the service is top-notch: the owner doesn't need to bring the car to a service center, as a team of 10 specialists will come to him. Within 24 hours.
Other costs, however, are no less staggering. Replacing the front carbon-ceramic brake discs and brake pads costs $58,952. Also, every 14–16 months, the wheel rims need to be replaced, with a set costing $49,958, and every 16-18 months, the tires. A set of tires for this car – Michelin Pilot Sport PAX or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 XL – costs about $8,000.
But that's not all. Between 42 and 48 months of ownership, the four Garrett turbochargers are replaced. Their price is $25,978. Additionally, a set of air ducts must be replaced – that's another $21,982.
The fuel tank on the Chiron costs $43,963, and if the owner suddenly needs to replace the windshield, they'll have to fork out... $59,949.
It's also important to understand that even such a trivial thing as wiper blades costs a pretty penny. $3,797.
Overall, this implies that over several years, the cost of maintaining a Bugatti Chiron can reach several hundred thousand dollars.
