Remember at this point, no Veyron prototype had yet run. This was a tall order. The tallest of orders, in fact. Sure enough the Veyron took years and vast sums of money to develop.
Though the W18 lost a couple of cylinders along the way, the engine was apparently one of the less, erm, 'challenging' parts of the project. Everything else gave the engineers massive headaches, from the double-clutch gearbox that had to work in car parks just as well as it did at mph, to the tyres and aero.
The wheels are polished to perfection. Parking this car on the street without curbing them must be somewhat of a challenge. Bugatti collaborated with Michelin on tires that decreased overall weight of the car. The light tunnel is used by the team to carry out an exhaustive six-hour inspection to check for blemishes and imperfections in the bodywork.
Customers visit the Atelier during various phases of the build and some even participate in the assembly. After all of the final checks have been made, the car is prepped for final delivery to the customer.
The Bugatti Chiron takes two months to build from start to finish and is delivered to customers in six months time.

Tires had never been built for a car this fast. Michelin was contracted to make them work. They originally made two tires, one for the road and one for the track. But Bugatti came back and said they needed one for both. A standard tire can be stamped out in 30 seconds. Veyron tires take one hour to make. And if they go bald, you are in for an expensive bill. When all of the subassemblies are complete, they are sent to the Bugatti "Atelier" in Molsheim, France.
Atelier is the French word for "artists' workshop. Inside, incomplete Veyrons are kept in three sections until they are ready to be put together. The carbon fiber driver's cockpit provides protection for the occupants.
It may be hard to believe, but the front and rear of the car are held together by just 14 bolts. Before the body panels are applied, the car is run through a series of tests to make sure assembly went as intended.
Every bolt in the entire car is done by hand. Each car takes four to five weeks to finish. Every Veyron is then driven miles to ensure that the work was done properly.
Some are even tested at Volkswagen's test facility, Ehra-Lessien, in Germany. At top speed, the Veyron is covering more than a football field each second.
