People seem to forget at this end of the market the Chiron is not just a car.

Read a few articles saying that the 260mph top speed is just the road limited speed, wonder what the actual top speed will be. They also actually plan on making money on this one.

The difference between a Bugatti and every other super/hyper car out there is that Kimi Rakkonen can take everything else around corners at 135 and hit 215 in the straights. Whereas Betty White can drive a Bugatti 220 mph while sipping a starbuck's. This is a very specific kind of engineering in all that Bugatti ugly.

You know - I originally thought it was ugly too, but it's starting to really grow on me. Cannot deny the engineering marvelous-ness too.

I have to say I've never really cared for the styling of the Chiron, but this one in black and orange is nice!

That car looks bad ass. Why no 86/chiron comparisons? That thread would last a year

I myself prefer the practicality of rear seats and the balance of the 86. Yay tada san!

Chiron owners shitting out 86's every time they go in for a regular service.
Bugatti's white glove experience is exclusive to the brand. No other manufacturer handles their customers like bugatti. Quote:
I'm sure they fiddled with the engine beyond turning up the boost to make that extra 100hp. It's never as simple as turning up boost with Bugatti. |
