Chronology
Predecessor
The Bugatti Chiron is a mid-engined two-seated sports car developed and manufactured in Molsheim, France, by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. as the successor to the Bugatti Veyron.[5] The Chiron was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1, 2016.[6][7] The car was based on the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept car.
The car is named after the Monegasque driver Louis Chiron
Specifications and performance[edit]
The quad-turbo W16 engine of the Chiron
The main carryover component from the Veyron is the 8-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine, though it is heavily updated. The engine in the Chiron 1,103 kW(1,500 PS; 1,479 bhp) and 1,600 N⋅m (1,180 lb⋅ft) of torque starting from 2000 rpm. Its predecessor, the Veyron Super Sport produces 220 kW (299 PS; 295 bhp) less than the new Chiron, while the original Veyron produces 883 kW (1,201 PS; 1,184 hp).[9]
Like its predecessor, the Veyron, it has a carbon fibre body structure, independent suspension and a Haldex All-wheel drive system.[10][11][12] The carbon fibre body has a stiffness of 50,000 Nm per degree.[13]
The Chiron can accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 2.4 seconds according to the manufacturer,[4] 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 6.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) in 13.6 seconds. In a world-record-setting test, the Chiron reached 400 km/h (250 mph) in 32.6 seconds, after which it needed 9.4 seconds to brake to standstill.[14]
The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to 261 mph (420 km/h) for safety reasons, mainly arising from the tires as the manufacturer concluded that no tire currently manufactured would be able to handle the stress at the top speed the Chiron is capable of acheiving.[2] The anticipated full top speed of the Bugatti Chiron is believed to be around 463 km/h (288 mph).
