Bugatti Supercar to be Named Chiron

The next Bugatti supercar will be named ‘Chiron’ after Louis Chiron, a Bugatti works racing driver who won virtually all the major grands prix for the brand in the 1920s and 1930s. His name is more closely connected with the history of Bugatti than any other racing driver.

Wolfgang Dürheimer, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., said, “In Louis Chiron, we found a worthy patron for a new model in the history of our brand. The name of the best racing driver and the most successful Bugatti driver of his time for the best super sports car of the present day – that is the ideal combination.”
