Only when a customer Bugatti signed the vehicle s starts the production planning normally a chiropractor takes about nine months for this trip configuration on delivery wishes more unusual customer in terms of materials, colors or further details are, more time will be required when a production slot has been assigned to a vehicle, the necessary parts are then controlled from here, the countdown begins and it will take about six months to delivery the car now, bugatti providers, that are located throughout europe, work hard to deliver the necessary parts to MOLSHEIM in time for assembly.
A month before the start of production, the body is assembled monocoque substructure and chassis to ensure that everything together seamlessly, it takes about three weeks to apply the different layers of paint in the case of the fiber visible atoms, six coats are necessary for the upper layer, up to eight layers may be required depending on the finishing line which has been controlled is united, metallic or pearlescent the process is so long that all the layers are applied hand and each individual layer must be sanded and polished before work can begin on the next layer.
The production building for Chiron, which calls Bugatti workshop has an area of over 1,000 square meters, was inaugurated in 2005 and has an oval configuration, based on the French brand logo, badge bugatti it was designed by Professor architect gunter henn munich for over ten years, the veyron April 16 and its derivatives were built here to Chiron, many changes were made in the workshop and facilities to accommodate the new properties product and the increased complexity of the production process.
No conveyor belts or robots can be found in people of working molsheim facilities at stations, as in the workshop of a formula one team overall, there are twelve stations with the first station, the powertrain is prepared for this assembly is supplied pre-assembled from the engine plant of the volkswagen group Salzgitter where experts build the engine 1500 ps in a driver room is equipped for bugatti then tested on a test bed for eight hours at the same time, a similar procedure is applied to the twin clutch transmission 7 gear which has been rendered becoming stronger for receiving the high power output supercar, and gigantic torque 1600 nm.
There are two chassis construction platforms in the workshop, where three employees spend approximately one week to the entire rear end of the vehicle is built around the drive train at the same time, the monohull and the end before are interconnected and equipped with the required wiring harness the pipes connecting the engine to the rear with radiators in the front are also installed, the cooling is of crucial importance in the Chiron the vehicle is equipped with three pumps in water, a large pump to the high-temperature and two small pumps for low temperature cycle cycle.
The single electronic tool used in the frame assembly is a screwdriver EC system which allows a data curve of each bolt tight on the frame to be stored on a computer connected to the system, which then provides the agent assembling a signal when the right torque value is reached there are more than 1800 bolted joints on a supercar, with the required documentation for the 1068 climax of the entire chassis is undoubtedly the wedding join the monocoque and the rear end fourteen titanium bolts ensure that the linkage between the two units is durable and extremely strong titanium was chosen to reduce weight; each bolt weighs only 34 grams.
After this step, the chassis moves a few meters to the rolling dynamometer, the most powerful of its kind in the world, this is the part of the production plant that called for greater investment to the chiropractor's changes including larger electrical cables were needed that the old working bench could not absorb the power and 1600 Nm 1500 the new unit is so powerful it can generate electricity with a current of up to 1200 amperes during bugatti operation then feeds the excess power generated to the local electricity grid Molsheim.
Once the supercar passed all stringent tests on the working bench, it is equipped with its outer skin to the next station here, external carbon parts are installed on the vehicle some small individual parts are very large and fragile, this work is extremely demanding, which is why a pre-assembly step has been introduced pre-assembly is done in the new technology center in bugatti, which is located just 200 meters from the studio lighting conditions in the meeting room are the same as in the studio, which means that all the problems with the paint or damaging the individual parts can be identified and corrected before the parts are installed on the vehicle, it takes between three and four days before the body parts have been installed on the Chiron and gaps and joints were adjusted with Precious if we.
The next step is a water test here, the Bugatti is exposed to the monsoon rainfall of varying intensity for 30 minutes to show that there are no leaks interior fittings are installed when the test was conducted here, two team members make sure that all parts are installed in the right place inside the supercar, a process that normally takes up to three days guests can choose between a luxury version with trim full leather, or a sportier combination of leather carbon fiber.
When the interior was completed, the Chiron is prepared for his final check and test drive the entire supercar is covered with a transparent solid plastic sheet, taking only one full day is needed an extra day to remove the sheet and cleaning the vehicle according to road test before leaving the workshop for the first time on the test disc, vehicle electronic functions are tested and the wheel track is adjusted during the test drive, it is driven 300 km through the Vosges to colmar airport, where he finished testing functions requiring speeds over 250 km h on the return trip from the runway is covered at a more relaxed pace on the autobahn to allow the vehicle to cool if the test driver, it clears the rest of the trip, the transmission oil is modified and the original wheels and are installed in underbody Workshop complete car and then a final test drive more than 50 km before their dynamic final approval.
At this stage, the Chiron is transferred to the spray booth, where it is prepared for finishing all the protective sheets are removed and the vehicle is then cleaned and polished the cosmetic preparation of the supercar takes a few days before that it is transferred to the light tunnel here, a team member performs a relentless inspection of the finish for more than six hours, after which the bugatti back to the paint booth team member is then devoted to intensive optimization until all visible defects were removed after about two months, the Chiron leaves the factory production during this period, twenty employees, including two women, were attended by a total of about 1800 individual pieces to create a powerful and exclusive production of the supercar world.
