Bugatti Chiron stole the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as the most luxurious and fastest supercar todate from the automaker. The super car still uses the same quad-turbocharged 8.0L W-16 engine featured in its predecessor (Veyron), but it is updated and the output is boosted to 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. The all-wheel drive Bugatti Chiron has the capacity to hit 100 km/h (62mph) in just 2.5 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 420 km/h (261 mph) featuring a reading of 310 mph on the speedometer with a promise to become the world’s fastest, most powerful and highly luxurious production super sports car built to date.
The Chiron includes an advanced braking system ensuring its road safety. In addition, the tyres were also checked for aerospace tolerances, keeping the high car speeds in mind. The Chiron exterior is covered in carbon fibre with 3D Bugatti logo boasting gemstones, displayed upfront. The sound system is engineered by “Accuton,” a top German audio system firm.
Priced at $2.6 million, experts have termed Chiron as a beast owing to its brutal engine sound. The automaker plans to create only 500 units of the Bugatti Chiron and has already started taking orders. In fact, someone just bought a Chiron, which is precisely the third production car in the lineup. Bugatti announced to start deliveries by fall of this year.
