Chiron [Official] Bugatti Chiron

[A.P.]

Except that this is actually a very near production car, look at pic #5. It's the Super Sport version of the Chiron


What I noticed is that at the rear it still has the air-break, it is just disabled.

Chiron modified and no production car just a concept

just wait until frankfurt, this is probably the SS

 

[Joelpeyeye]

I think the record of the Koenigsegg agera RS was more forceful because it is not a modified car and achieved its record on a public road, I believe that Jesko can easily break the record of the chiron Modified

 

[Joelpeyeye]

just wait until frankfurt, this is probably the SS

Until then he will have the record but by that time the Venom f5, tuatara or Jesko will have already broken the modified chiron record

 

[Joelpeyeye]

Wait, what are we comparing here? Dragsters and LSR flavour vehicles with parachutes to an albeit special run of a true serial production car?!? This car is a demonstration of the latent potential within the Chiron concept.

they need manages to reach 300 mph in one mile and must be stopped soon because they don't have the track as long as vw group they don't need it.

Andy Wallace tiene cojones mas grande. Big ups to him, the folks at Michelin, and the Bug's engineers.

Wallace is the goto guy for these top speed runs, he was the first person to V-Max the XJ220 and the F1.

Chiron modified and no production car just a concept

This Chiron as per the Car magazine article is the near-production prototype, if you have the money and the connections you will be able to own the production version.

The huge difference between the Bugatti and all the other hypercar pretenders is the Bugatti can be driven by anyone, in traffic, it won’t overheat, it’s been properly developed, bits and pieces don’t fall off it, there may very well be faster cars but there won’t be better cars, none of the minnows have the budget to build a car to equal the Chiron.

this is what the designer of the SSC Tuatara said:

“At these stratospheric speeds, the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle has a huge effect on your high-end performance, and the bhp required to get to the magic number. We have a Cd (coefficient of drag) of 0.279 and the Chiron has 0.35. We’ve done the math and we’re confident we’ll do the number… with power to spare”, Castriota explains.

this is what the designer of the SSC Tuatara said:

He would say that, but in all seriousness which car would you rather v-max in, a car named after a lizard or the Bugatti.

If there are still doubts, this is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300 prototype. (see my previous post)

Its going to be very tough for them to break this record. They dont have the benefits like Bugatti have of been owned by VW, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world and having a test track with a long enough road to be able to get to those speeds and then also been able to test the car in a windtunnel and hone its body to generate perfect aero. Then the design of the tyres is a big factor, this Chiron has tires specially developed for this car for higher speeds. VW have a huge budget and can pump money into this car to make sure it is super fast and most of all super capable to drive.

VAG shows the same arrogance like before. No such car should exist.

i'd choose the car that looks like a spaceship

 

[martinbo]

I'd choose the car that's delivered indisputable results in not one but two generations over mere idle talk. Saw my first Chiron up close and personal in Dubai last week - left me in no doubt that I was looking at the polar opposite of vapourware.

the Bugatti Veyron won the Guinness record but the modified chiron did not

Your comments are eerily similar to YT bench racer commenters. I’m not sure what your point is here frankly, mentioning a bunch of years old vaporware.

It’s been stately officially numerous times that this is a prototype of an upcoming iteration. Guinness has not been mentioned by Bugatti or anyone because they were not in attendance yet. This was an exercise to finally prove an upcoming production car can beat the fabled 300mph barrier.
