Behold The Bugatti Chiron: 1,500-HP, 0-125 Mph in 6.5 Seconds, $2.6 Million

The much awaited replacement to the Bugatti Veyron, a long-time record holder of the “world’s fastest car,” is here: This is the Bugatti Chiron, revealed today in anticipation of the Geneva motor show. In case you missed the title—yes, it’s very fast.

It’s also stunning, much like the Vision Gran Turismo concept debuted by the company last year. In fact it’s so like that virtual car, the design on the Chiron shocks little; it was kind of expected. And that’s not a bad thing at all.

Take the rear-end, for example. No Vera Wang Oscar dress comes close to presenting a bottom as fabulous. And the swooping curvature along the side that’s cleverly replicated within the cabin. The whole car screams a level of detail that a €2.4 million ($2.6 million at today’s exchange rate) buyer demands. Of which, one third of the proposed 500 Chirons are already accounted for.
