Chiron [Official] Bugatti Chiron

[Laurent T]

i know you didn't ask me, but i always hated the veyron..it looked fat and sad.

So did I. Not much interest for the Veyron but this Chiron is something else. I am impressed.

So, apparently the Koenigsegg One:1 can do 0-300 in 11.992 sec, while the Chiron does it in 13.6 ...Hmmm...still,assessing this car purely based on acceleration figures would be nothing but a monumental show of tunnel vision IMO

I won't really trust Koenigsegg's numbers until we have it tested independently. I respect what he has done but the media exposure his cars are very limited.

Verified by Guinness though , so for everything else I'd agree with you, but this item, it seems to be very much confirmed

koenigsegg has done a good job building up hype and just riding on the wave of hype it creates, without ever needing to justify the hype, good marketing i must say

 

[ateekt]

Stunning as expected. IMO, it looks more like a major face-lift to the mighty Veyron.

I couldn't help notice the Buick Regal GS looking wheels on it. They do look great on both cars.

I wish Bugatti had done something other than a Veyron 2.0

I understand the business model. No one outside of Koenigsegg cares about absolute HP or top speed so you don't have to worry about much competition and can milk the car for a decade with endless one-offs but it's a tired and outdated concept, especially for this price point. Been there, done that.

Agreed.
I don't know why, but I expected something out of this world and this didn't deliver.

something like this?

it's been measured at 462mph and i don't know if it was still accelerating beyond that point

What a massive engine.

 

[SDNR]

Chiron is a clever evolution with a much more agressive look than the Veyron.

They'll have plenty of orders flooding in already I imagine.

I wonder how accurate their timing gear is in this video of it doing 11.922 sec to 300km/h.

Makes two of us my man, perhaps I should quit my current job, and opt for finding myself a socialite wife, make some rap songs and send meaningless tweets on a daily basis, where I rant about how broke I am and publicly ask Zuckerberg for money via Twitter... Surely I'd be closer to getting on that list?

 

[gdm]

This is most stunning angle.

 

[SDNR]

Meh, lipstick and some Alfa Romeo vibes on the (now even fatter) pig.

Yeah, I thought of Alfa too.
