On which supercar is stronger? That's certainly the French Bugatti brand, with its 8.0T W16 super power, it's undoubtedly the fastest model on the surface, and it broke the world record at 300 mph on the 2019 Ehra-Lessien test track, making it the strongest production sports car today.

However, in the recent news, Bugatti officially announced that chiron's limited edition of 500 units and Bolide's limited edition of 40 units have been declared exhausted, which may become the last series to carry the 8.0T W16 engine.

Bugatti Chiron naturally needless to say, not only the successor of the Veyron series, but also the current holder of the fastest production car, and the report revealed that the car has delivered more than 300 units since its debut in 2016, plus various special versions (such as the Super Sport 300+), and is expected to be completed in 2022 (only 500 units are in production).

How to say it? Last year, Bugatti and Croatian electric supercar manufacturer Rimac have completed the merger and announced that they will use Rimac's high-performance electric drivetrain in the later stage, and at this time Bugatti Chiron and Bolide announced that they were sold out, does this mean that Bugatti's electrified model will come to power and the W16 engine series will end?
