The Bugatti Chiron is set to turn a profit for parent company Vokswagen.

Volkswagen and Bugatti are set to start delivering the Bugatti Chiron, the successor to the Veyron, this Fall. 

Back in 2005 Bugatti's parent company, Volkswagen, charged it's engineers with one task. Create the worlds fastest production car. When they set out on this venture the goal was never to make an actual profit, but to prove that their engineers could produce a 1,000+ horse power car. That is why the Bugatti Veyron lost the company almost $5 million on every one of the 450 examples sold. All though it wasn't all for nothing. The engineers at Bugatti did accomplish their goal when the Veyron made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the only production car to ever hit 267.7 MPH. Now Bugatti is hoping to beat that once again with the Chiron.

Using some of the engineering from the Veyron with upgrades, the Chiron will get a significant increase in power to an astounding 1,479 HP, although the versions that will be available for purchase will be electronically limited to only 261 MPH. While a lot of the engineering that went into the Chiron is still being guarded, what we do know is that the Monocoque will be an all carbon fiber design. As for the engine, the Chiron will use the same 8.0-liter W16 engine as the Veyron but will have four newly designed, larger Turbochargers. To keep the monstrous engine cooled, the Chiron uses 60,000 liters of air and 800 liters of water pumped through the block every minute.

The Chiron will be limited to only 500 examples and will have a starting price tag of $2.61 million. Bugatti speculates that the Chiron will generate at least $1.3 Billion in revenue.
