Supercars are often regarded as “mobile investments,” typically spending most of their lives in climate-controlled garages rather than accumulating tens of thousands of miles on the odometer. Even when owners do take them out for a spin, no one expects them to be driven as regularly as a daily commuter car. However, there exists a Bugatti Chiron with an odometer reading higher than many well-worn Toyotas or Hondas.
This particular Bugatti Chiron recently made waves on social media with its staggering odometer reading of 175,797 km. While some skeptics questioned the authenticity of this figure, others applauded the anonymous owner for truly pushing the limits of the car’s 8.0L W16 engine with four turbochargers, capable of producing 1,479 horsepower.

This renowned Bugatti Chiron was spotted by automotive photographer Alex Penfold on his Instagram page. Penfold encountered the Chiron at a supercar gathering in October 2025, where he documented the impressive odometer reading. The car’s exterior is finished in blue carbon fiber, while its interior features saddle brown leather upholstery, both appearing remarkably well-preserved despite the extensive mileage.

Produced between 2016 and 2024, this Bugatti Chiron is at most a decade old. How, then, could it have averaged over 17,000 km annually? The answer lies in its purpose. According to various sources, this vehicle is a test and development car owned by Bugatti itself, leading a life vastly different from those owned by customers. Instead of being confined to a private garage, this Chiron has undergone countless durability tests, high-speed runs, technical validation cycles, and media test drives.

In many ways, this car is a living testament to the durability of the Bugatti Chiron. It’s important to note, however, that the vehicle receives factory-level maintenance, a standard of care that few customer-owned cars could match. Nonetheless, it showcases the engineering excellence Bugatti aims for with every vehicle leaving its Molsheim, France factory.
The cost of maintaining a supercar has long been a subject of debate, often accompanied by unverifiable horror stories. In a recent video, Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac refuted claims that Chiron maintenance costs are exorbitant. Still, it’s easy to imagine that keeping a high-mileage Chiron like this one could be as expensive as purchasing a new supercar.
Under Bugatti’s official service program, the Chiron requires at least an annual inspection, with a major service due every four years. The W16 engine demands a complete oil and fluid change every 14 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first. Given its intricate design, this process is labor-intensive, requiring specialized tools and precision.
Tires are another recurring expense, though not as daunting as with the Veyron, which occasionally required entire wheel replacements. The Chiron’s carbon-ceramic brakes also need regular inspections, especially if the car is frequently driven at high speeds or on racetracks. While it’s unclear whether this test vehicle has undergone any major overhauls, such as a gearbox or engine rebuild, the costs would undoubtedly be substantial if it has.
In 2014, former Bugatti Chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer revealed that the average Bugatti customer owns 84 cars, 3 private jets, and 1 yacht. While it’s uncertain how much this demographic has changed over the past decade, it’s safe to assume that these collectors still maintain vast garages. Consequently, each vehicle in their collection is rarely driven extensively or over long distances.
Against this backdrop, this particular Bugatti Chiron is almost certainly the highest-mileage example in the world. It’s possible that only a retired Bugatti Veyron test car could surpass this figure, though no public data exists to confirm this.
Among privately owned Bugattis, one notable high-mileage example is a Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition, which has accumulated over 37,000 km in 16 years of ownership. While impressive by Bugatti standards, this pales in comparison to the test Chiron, which has covered nearly six times that distance.
