After selling almost all 30 of its $3.9 million special-edition Chiron supercars over dinner, Bugatti is moving to double its lineup by adding a second model.

Unlike the limited-run Chiron -- a version of the car that set a 304 miles-per-hour record earlier this month -- the new vehicle may take the shape of a four-seater, Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann said in an interview. It could also leave the world’s racetracks for some off-road driving, he said, a departure for a brand honed on producing race cars going at incredible speeds.
