Bugatti Chiron




The  much talked about Bugatti 's latest monster is the Bugatti Chiron. This mean machine  driven by  an  8.0litre  W16 quad turbocharged engine is capable of generating a power output of  1,103 kW (1,479 bhp) and 1600 Nm of torque which is  much higher than its predecessor  Bugatti Veyron (1014.7 bhp). Chiron was unveiled at the Geneva motor show earlier this year.

Chiron reaches from 0-100kmph in 2.5 seconds which is almost the same as Veyron, that takes 2.46 seconds . It is after the 100kmph mark that the actual strength of Chiron is witnessed. It takes  just 6.5 seconds to accelerate right from 0-200kmph as against 9.8 seconds consumed by its predecessor. And thats just not it, to reach from 0-300kmph  Chiron takes   13.6 seconds whereas  Veyron does it in 16.7 seconds .




The top speed of  Chiron is around 463kmph but due to safety reasons it is limited to  420kmph. Coming to  Veyron, the top speed is 408.47kmph .Here comes the point of debate as we can see that the horse power of  Chiron and Veyron differ by almost 500bhp (482.3) whereas the top speeds  differ by a mere 11.53kmph. 
The tank of  Chiron that can hold about 100 liters of fuel  will be emptied if it travels at its top speed for just "8" minutes which is "12" in the case of Veyron.


Bugatti acclaims to have enriched  Chiron with its best ever  audio experience . The speakers  are fitted with one carat diamond each which help in removing the audio distortions. Chiron  is the most luxurious car Bugatti has  ever made .



The cooling system in Chiron pumps around 60,000 litres of air through the engine per minute. Bugatti plans to make about 500 cars out of which 170 have already been ordered . Last but not the least, a Bugatti Chiron takes away $2.6million right from your pocket.
