Las Vegas has been home to numerous automotive spectacles, but this one from earlier this week is one of the most significant. In the early morning light, rows of Bugatti Veyrons and Chirons shimmered under the Nevada sky, framed by the Wynn’s manicured lawns and the distinctive red glow of the Sphere in the background.
More than 60 Bugattis gathered for the Las Vegas Concours (October 31 – November 2), making it the largest Bugatti gathering in history. Including 49 Veyrons and dozens of W16-powered successors and special editions, all put together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Veyron 16.4. The Car that redefined the rules for supercars and exotic cars in the mid-2000s.
Last year, Bugatti brought similar energy to the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, hosting an ultra-luxurious ownership experience that saw customers drive under the lights on the F1 track while venturing into the Nevada desert. The same mix of performance and exclusivity was carried over to this year’s Concours event, where an unprecedented fleet of Bugattis, Veyrons, Chirons, Divos, Centodiecis, Mistrals and Bolides lined the grass in perfect symmetry.
Each car assembled here tells a part of the story that began in 2005, when the Veyron debuted with 1,001 horsepower and a proven top speed of 253 miles per hour, dethroning the McLaren F1’s long-standing record as the world’s fastest production car. The The historic top speed run on Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track with works driver Andy Wallace at the wheel marked the beginning of Bugatti’s modern era.
Under the leadership of Ferdinand Piëch, the now iconic quad-turbo W16 became the cornerstone of an era defined by innovation. From the Veyron Super Sport to the Chiron, each new model refined the same quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter masterpiece. Now that the Rimac-led tourbillon is coming to market with an all-new V16 hybrid powertrain, this meeting was both a celebration and a farewell.
The Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance at Wynn has quickly become one of America’s most exclusive automotive events. Set against the opulent backdrop of the Strip, it brings together historical icons, coachbuilding masterpieces and contemporary legends in one place. For Bugatti it was the ideal stage to honor two decades of outstanding engineering.
With only 450 Veyrons and 500 Chirons ever produced, this stunning lineup of over 60 Bugatti hypercars in Nevada offered a unique look at the entire W16 bloodline and over 90,000 horsepower combined in a single location. For Miller Motorcars and Bugatti Greenwich, which have long played a role in the sales and servicing of many of these vehicles, this event marked the celebration of a two-decade relationship with the French brand and its clientele.
