Bugatti has announced its intention to expand its headquarters in Molsheim, France, as part of an investment program aimed at facilitating the development of new models beyond the Chiron era.

One of the key changes to the site will be the construction of a new two-storey building next to the existing Atelier, where the Bugatti Chiron is currently assembled.

The building, set to be constructed in the second half of 2024, will cover an area of 2120 square meters and accommodate new staff as well as further development projects, including Bugatti’s first hypersports model under the ownership of Rimac.

The new Bugatti model, which is already in the works, is expected to leverage Rimac’s expertise in electric drivetrains to deliver an even higher level of acceleration compared to the 1577bhp quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 petrol-powered Chiron Super Sport.

Bugatti’s expansion plans will also provide support for ongoing programs such as the production of the Bolide and W16 Mistral.

Christophe Piochon, the president of Bugatti, stated, “The construction of this new building in our home in Molsheim aligns with our brand and product expansion.”

In order to meet the demands of the expansion, Bugatti has launched a recruitment campaign with the goal of increasing the workforce at Molsheim by 50% by the end of 2027.
