Vehicle model
Bugatti Gamme Bugatti - véhicules particuliers
Bugatti's passenger car range comes down to very-high-performance hypercars produced in confidential series. In the modern era, it includes the Veyron (launched in 2005), the first production car to exceed 1,000 hp and over 400 km/h, then the Chiron (2016) and its variants, as well as extremely rare special editions. These cars are aimed at a wealthy clientele of collectors and enthusiasts, for prestige use, private-track use, or events, and not as a daily vehicle. They are fitted with very wide high-performance tires on large-diameter wheels, developed specifically by the manufacturer. In Quebec, these vehicles do not run in winter: no standard winter fitment is provided, and seasonal storage is essential. Any tire or wheel question falls under unique specifications particular to each model, with no equivalence to the mass market.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Bugatti chaussent des pneus de très grande largeur et des jantes de fort diamètre, souvent autour de 20 pouces à l'avant et 21 pouces à l'arrière sur la Chiron, avec des sections arrière très larges. En raison des vitesses extrêmes, ces véhicules exigent des pneus haute performance développés spécifiquement par le manufacturier, non interchangeables avec des pneus grand public. Il s'agit de montes ultra-spécialisées, sans équivalence courante. Au Québec, ces voitures de collection ne roulent pas l'hiver; aucune monte hivernale standard n'est prévue. Pour des dimensions et indices exacts, il faut toujours se référer aux spécifications officielles propres au modèle et à l'année.
