Cape Town - Earlier in March, Bugatti gave the automotive world a collective gasp when it unveiled the most powerful production car yet - the new Chiron.

The Chiron, a successor to the Veyron, takes its predecessor's already impressive specs to another level: 0 to 100km/h in less than 2.5 seconds, four huge turbochargers and a total power output of 1119kW/1600Nm!

With the reveal of the new Chiron, photographer Alex Penfold, one of the world's top automotive Instagram accounts, pays tribute to the outgoing Veyron.

The Veyron, launched in 2005, was limited to only 450 units and by 2015, all were sold.

Penfold, a London-based automotive photographer, made sure that the Veyron shared some of the limelight, when he uploaded nearly 30 stunning photographs of almost every Veyron derivative.

From the 'entry-level' version to the mighty Super Sport, Penfold started the hashtag #Veyronweek  to showcase one of the most iconic cars. 

It all started with this post on Saturday (5th March):
