Bugatti Reveals The Chiron
The Bugatti Chiron is the successor to the 1001hp Veyron, a car that
changed the rules for what was thought possible of a ‘mass production’
super sports tourer. Running an evolution of the Veyron’s 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine,
matched to four new and larger turbochargers, the Chiron promises a
staggering 1500PS (1103kW) of power – as signified by the ‘1500’ stamped
on the engine. That number is matched to a mighty 1600Nm of torque, sent to the ground
through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a permanent all-wheel
drive system. Those figures, the company says, makes the Chiron “very well-positioned
to become the next world speed record holder and reach a maximum speed
significantly above the record currently held by Bugatti”. Officially, the Chiron’s road speed is electronically limited to 420km/h
– largely as a matter of protecting the tires against a blowout – and
Bugatti promises a 0-100km/h sprint time of “less than” 2.5 seconds. (caradvice)
