The steering of the car has also received modifications and a torque vectoring system to control the power sent to each wheel of the car for improved handling in tight corners has been added. Mechanically the car is identical to the regular version, generating 1,500 PS (1,105 kW 1,480 hp) from a quad-turbocharged W16 engine but is 18 kg (40 lb) lighter due to the extensive use of carbon fibre and has a stiffer suspension in order to increase the cornering ability of the car while maintaining its grand touring characteristics. īugatti Chiron Sport at the Geneva Motor Show with open doors.Īt the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti unveiled the track focused version of the Chiron, named the Chiron Sport. Independent testing by an owner has indicated that the Chiron can easily attain its limited top speed.

The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to 420 km/h (261 mph), or 375–380 km/h (233–236 mph) without the specific key, for safety reasons, mainly arising from the tyres as Bugatti concluded that no tyre currently manufactured would be able to handle the stress at the top speed the Chiron is capable of achieving. In a world-record-setting test at the time in 2017, the Chiron reached 400 km/h (249 mph) in 32.6 seconds, after which it needed 9.4 seconds to brake to standstill. The carbon fibre body has a stiffness of 50,000 Nm per degree. Like its predecessor, the Veyron, the Chiron utilises a carbon fibre body structure, independent suspension and a Haldex All-wheel drive system. The engine in the most powerful variant of its predecessor, the Veyron Super Sport generates 221 kW (296 hp 300 PS) less than the new Chiron, while the engine in the original Veyron generates 367 kW (492 hp 499 PS) less power. The main carry over component from the Veyron is the 7,993 cc (8.0 L 487.8 cu in) quad- turbocharged W16 engine, though it is heavily updated.
