A member of the royal family became the owner of a demonstration example of the Chiron hypercar, shown in March at the Geneva Motor Show, as well as the Vision GT show car, created for the Gran Turismo racing simulator.
"Both cars won the heart of a car enthusiast and a big fan of Bugatti from Saudi Arabia, who bought them to become the crowns of his private car collection. The contract was concluded with the client after he offered the most favorable deal amount," noted in the message of the French hypercar manufacturer.
The cost of the two unique cars is not specified. Prices for the regular Chiron hypercar start at 2.6 million dollars. The coupe is equipped with an eight-liter turbocharged W16 engine developing 1500 horsepower. The two-door can accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, and acceleration to 300 km/h takes 13.6 seconds. The declared maximum speed is 420 km/h.
The virtual Bugatti Vision GT hypercar, developed in 2015 specifically for the Gran Turismo 6 game, was intended to give an idea of the upcoming "Chiron". In September of the same year, Bugatti created a real prototype of the "computer" coupe, which was presented at the motor show in Frankfurt.
