Two Bugatti Chirons Spotted Testing At The Nurburgring – But Why?

The first Bugatti Chiron came out over two years ago and the Molsheim-based supercar maker delivered the 100th example last month.

Therefore, when we see two Chirons testing in the Nordschleife, it’s only natural to start asking questions.

Both Chirons in the following video appear to be stock – or as stock as a 1,500PS (1,479hp / 1,103kW) and 1,600Nm (1,180lb-ft) of torque quad-turbocharged W16 hypercar is anyway.
A few potential answers may lie in some recent reports. One of them claims that Bugatti might be ready to pull the cover off a Super Sport derivative, which will sport a number of mechanical upgrades and might try to set a new top speed record.

The other one talks about a new, unknown variant that was shown to potential customers earlier this spring, while there have also been rumors about an updated version of the recently launched Chiron Sport.

Whatever we have here, one thing appears to be certain: Bugatti is onto something; we just don’t know what it is yet. If we were to guess, though, we’d put our money on the Super Sport scenario, though we wouldn’t bet on it being launched any time soon.

Bugatti Chiron's New Glass Roof Option Looks Cool; Adds Headroom
Jul 25, 2018 at 9:40am By: Chris Bruce, Editor
The glass panels aren't removable, though.
Bugatti doesn't intend to build an open-roof variant of the Chiron, the hypercar company's new Sky View roof is the next best thing. The layout puts a fixed glass panel above each seat for a clear view of the heavens. Sky View comes with the extra advantage of increasing the Chiron's headroom by 1.06 inches (2.7 centimeters), which could make it a welcome option for taller buyers.
Each of the Sky View's glass panels measures 2 feet 1.6 inches (65 centimeters) long and 1 foot 5 inches (44 centimeters) wide. To create the pieces, Bugatti uses a laminated structure with four intermediate layers. The company reports that this method keeps the cabin quiet, and the tinted glass reflects away infrared radiation that would heat up the cabin.
The Sky View roof is available for Chiron buyers to order now. The company will also bring a supercar with the glass panels Monterey Car Week in late August, so wealthy customers will be able to get a better look at the option there.

The Chiron with the Sky View roof won't be Bugatti's only debut during Monterey Car Week because the company will also unveil its Divo hypercar there. It'll use underpinnings from the Chiron but will have even higher performance capabilities. A heavily revised body will produce significantly more downforce, which will cause the top speed to drop to 239 miles per hour (385 kilometers per hour), but acceleration will be quicker than the Chiron's 2.5-second sprint. A quad-turbo W16 will still sit behind occupants, but a new transmission will allegedly allow for significantly quicker shifts.

If you want a Divo, it's reportedly too late because there are already reservations for the entire production run of fewer than 100 vehicles. Bugatti is allegedly selling them for the astronomical price of $5.85 million.

That is Cool AF.

Lovely update... would be pissed of if I ordered a Chiron previously to such a release though...

I imagine the owners were informed about this option at launch and Bugatti is only able to build cars with the glass roof panel now.

 

[martinbo]

It's definitely one of my very best specced Chirons.

 

[Centurion]

The couldn't have picked a better launch colour.

 

[bmwz4coupe]

Beautiful car! But what about instrumental road tests?? Still no tests?

I think the color will look great in real life photos.

 

[Merc1]

So it doesn't have something like Benz's magic sky control that can vary the tint of the glass, on a 3M dollar car?

I've sat in a Veyron Grandsport (roof on) in broad daylight and the glass was tinted enough so that sun light/rays didn't come though at all. It's the same glass used here.

Bugatti mentioned they have no intention of making a Grandsport this generation, so this is apparently the consolation for this year's Pebble Beach. Actually, the Grandsport made it's debut exactly ten years ago - time flies.

The color looks like so called liquid metallic silver ,a very expensive option of Porsche 918 spyder.

So if the glass is that dark, what is the point of having it?

Beats me... I think this is just a money grab for highrollers until the special editions start comming out.

Here's how it looks like in irl to give an example.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Supposedly they're doing a WR attempt top speed run in the coming weeks though.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

That liquid metal paint gives it a nice bare metal airplane fuselage look.

 

[Beemer B773ER]

That is Cool AF.

I agree, the Auto Focus on that shot is pretty impressive!

 

[sako97]

So being in the Riviera makes you release why Bugatti is releasing the Divo. The Chiron is a pretty common sight... daily driver for the billionaires and royalty.

Seems like it's more successful than the Veyron, whilst being over twice the price and churning a profit for the brand. Win-win.

The want factor for the black G63 is so strong. Best looking current SUV by a long shot

My favorite Chiron to date. So classy.

 

[Merc1]

Just about all the new toy suvs for the rich are present in those pics: Cully and Geegee. Only the Uri is missing.

Beautiful colour that suits that car to the Tee.

Was just thinking now that the Chiron would look great as a Speedster, it would be awesone if Bugatti would bring that out as a limited run

 

[hovabongZA]

I know it’s a spare key,but this is unacceptable for a Bugatti it’s the same key as a polo.
