Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionplanned production run of the Chiron (all cars of the model) | 5001 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Bugatti planned a run of 500 Chirons, fifty more than the Veyron, and its development chief said that unlike the Veyron the car should make money.
