For more than a decade, the Bugatti Veyron has been the hypercar benchmark in terms of sheer power and raw speed, with the 2010 Super Sport version boasting 1,200 hp and a V-max of 268 mph. And while a couple of rivals are now nibbling at the margins, the Veyron has remained the fastest, most powerful fully street-legal production car until now.
Let us cut to the chase: Bugatti engineers are keeping the actual numbers under wraps for now; however, they will admit the Chiron will accelerate to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds, with 0-300 km/h taking less than 15 seconds. It will do 380 km/h in normal nanny mode.
The Bugatti Chiron is limited to 420 km/h. It will go even faster, and for those owners who want to go to the very edge of the performance envelope, Bugatti will help them do it, either in a factory-owned car or the owners own Chiron, either fitted with a set of special, ultra-finely balanced wheels and tires, plus a battery of additional sensors to be monitored by factory technicians during the V-max run.
Although it shares much of the same basic vehicle architecture as the Veyron, from the mighty mid-mounted, 8.0-liter W-16 engine with its seven-speed dual-clutch transmission mounted at the front of the block to the all-wheel-drive system, Bugatti engineering chief Willi Netuschil claims 95 percent of the Chiron is new
Compared with a Veyron, it is slightly wider, slightly longer, and slightly lower, but it weighs about the same.
The heart of the Chiron is an evolution of the Veyron Super Sport engine, reworked and strengthened to deliver a 25 percent increase in power and a 5 percent increase in torque. The numbers? Try 1,500 hp at 6,700 rpm, and a weapons-grade 1,165 lb-ft of torque from 2,000 to 6,700 rpm. The reason for the power and torque increases is auto engineering 101: There is simply more air going through all 16 cylinders.
It starts with the design. The front half of the Chirons body tapers noticeably inward aft of the front wheels, which means the dramatic C-line that arcs all the way from the base of the A-pillar and swoops around behind the cockpit is able to cleverly hide a series of massive scoops. The big W-16 breathes deeply from intakes above the line that carries forward through to the door aperture from the pronounced haunch in the rear fenders, taking full advantage of the powerful laminar airflow streaming around the A-pillars.
Unlike the Veyrons rounded rump, the rear end of the Chiron is sharply truncated with a distinctive single light bar bisecting a swath of mesh. The idea, says Bugattis head of design, is to create a low-pressure area at the rear of the car that helps suck hot air out from the engine compartment. Exhaust gases exit via a massive titanium exhaust system that features six 3.2-inch outlets, the outer two of which exit downward to create an F1-style blown diffuser that increases downforce at speed.
The Chiron comes fitted with an all-new braking system. Up front are giant 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic composite rotors and single-piece forged calipers with four pads, two per side and eight titanium pistons. A shroud fitted to the front axle helps draw cooling air through system. At the rear the rotors measure 15.7 inches, and the forged calipers have six titanium pistons.
For the record the Chiron costs 2.4 million euros. Bugatti only quotes pricing in euros, which at the time of writing equated to $2.7 million. Planned production will total 500 cars which is 50 more than the Veyron and Drheimer insists that, unlike the Veyron project, the Chiron will make money for VW Group.
