It appears the Chiron has one-uped the G11 in regards to one-piece metal trim length:

The Most Entertaining Facts, Figures, and Boasts from the Bugatti Chiron Press Release

– If you didn’t know the Chiron has permanent four-wheel drive, you’re a dummy and a loser.

Damn, what kind of automotive journalism is this?

 

[Human]

Brilliant! And I love the split rear window.

 

[Giannis]

Also, why does everything in this car is bespoke and unique and perfect, yet the exterior door handles are borrowed from the Golf?

LOL,I have a Golf 7 and I didn't notice that since you pointed it out.Yes they are very similar.

Good point. Out of all hypercars, the Chiron is the only one with a conventional door handle a no-drama door opening mechanism. Given that the car is a super sporty Grand Tourer, I no nothing wrong with such simplicity if their customers value it.

 

[gdm]

I noticed the engine bay has no cover,it's bare.

 

[W201]

It was the same with Veyron.

Damn, what kind of automotive journalism is this?

Yeah, I feel like a certain US presidential candidate's parlance is making its way into some of our articles, often for comedic or satirical effect.

 

[gdm]

Yes,Veyron also has no engine bay cover,I have never noticed this before.

 

[slicknick]

Just a question for all... Now, we all know that the top speed is limited to 261 mph (420 km/h),but do you guys think they'll deactivate that limiter just to break another top speed record? I'm pretty sure they will do just that

 

[W201]

TG article says they will; here is an extract from the article:

Then there’s the top speed, which Bugatti has limited to 261mph - a token 3mph more than the Veyron Super Sport. The specially-developed, wider Michelins can take more, Bugatti says, and will be used for a Chiron’s record-setting attempt, which is expected to surpass 270mph, but the limiter is a “safety measure for road-travel”. Euro NCAP will be delighted.

considering that pretty much all other supercars/hypercars has aerodynamic/hidden doorhandles i find this a bit dissapinting from bugatti

In the pictures the Chiron looks significantly more exotic than the Veyron. I have seen Veyron IRL and found it to be a bit soft for a hyper car and this car answers that weaker point in spades with sharper front and rear styling treatments. Although the Veyron interior was a bit more attractive. Externally it looks better than all the other current hyper cars except the beautiful Porsche 918 which is also more advance in terms of weight and powertrain and interior of 918 is also better designed IMO. Both cars from VW AG.

One of the best angle of the car, really shows how much the front end is pulling back from the grill.
