Bugatti is a world-famous old sports car brand. In 1909, Italian Ettore Bugatti founded the Bugatti company in France, specializing in the production of sports cars and high-end luxury cars.

Bugatti produced more than 7,000 cars from 1909 to 1956. When production ceased, Bugatti produced a total of more than 7,000 cars. In 1990, Italian industrialist Romano Atioli bought the ownership of the Bugatti trademark, rebuilt the Bugatti Automobile Company in Italy, and produced the world-famous EB110 series of super sports cars. However, due to poor management, it unfortunately went bankrupt in 1995. It was acquired by the German Volkswagen Group in 1998 and is now owned by Volkswagen.

The Bugatti factory was originally built in Molsheim, located in Alsace, France. It was later transferred to Prussia after the Franco-Prussian War. Then he didn't return to France until World War I, and was occupied by Germany in World War II. Therefore, Bugatti's factory was located in France for a period of time and in Germany for a period of time. Since the important stages of development are all located in France and the headquarters is in Molsheim, France, it is still a French brand.

The official Chinese name of Bugatti Veyron is Weihang, but car fans prefer to call it "Vyron", which is the first "Dragon" that officially enters people's sight. The name Bugatti Veyron comes from Pierre Veyron, who drove a Bugatti 57 to win the 1939 Le Mans crown.

The Bugatti Veyron is most famous for its speed. It is equipped with an 8.0L? W16 quad-turbocharged engine and can reach an astonishing top speed of 434km/h.

Bugatti Chiron? As Bugatti's second mass-produced model, it was named "Chiron" or "Chiron" by car fans as soon as it came out. In fact, the name Chiron is to commemorate the former Bugatti racing driver Louis Chiron.

It is equipped with an 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 1,500 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,600 Nm. It accelerates to 100 kilometers in less than 2.5 seconds. Last September, Bugatti officially released a set of new Bugatti Chiron models that set a new production car manufacturer's top speed record at 490.48km/h on the Volkswagen test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany.

The launch of the Bugatti Chiron also became the last work of Wolfgang Dürheimer, the retired Bugatti president of the group.

After that, Divo, Bugatti’s 110th anniversary Centodieci, and the world’s most expensive and only one-of-a-kind La Voiture Noire were launched one after another. This is all thanks to Stephan Winkelmann, who came from Audi Sport and was the president of Lamborghini. He took over as president of Bugatti on January 1, 2018. The supercar brand he is best at is shell replacement design.

It is now almost the fifth year of Bugatti Chiron production. Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann said that the Chiron will be discontinued at the end of 2021. Officials have previously stated that the total production of Chiron is 500 units, and this number is expected to be reached by the end of 2021. Currently, there are less than 100 units left to be produced, except for other special editions.

Although the discontinuation of Bugatti Chiron symbolizes the end of Chiron, it also means that more new "dragons" will appear in the future. And the current Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann is best at changing shells. I believe that under his leadership we will see a new Bugatti Dragon in the near future.
