This is how Bugatti builds the Chiron at its Molsheim facility

In the event you find yourself purchasing a Bugatti Chiron, here's a quick rundown of the ordering and assembly process, from start to finish.

Andrew Krok
Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
