Bugatti Chiron – Best Supercar
Based on Bugattithe Chiron as ‘the world’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and exclusive supermanufacturer sport car‘… But we’re sure they wouldn’t mind if we called it a hypercar!
It’s not exactly a ‘clean grid’ replacement for Veyron, as it carries the basic architecture and the W16 engine. The wheelbase is the same, but the styling is new and the Chiron is slightly longer and wider than its predecessor. However, the engine has been completely reworked and now produces a staggering 1,500hp and a staggering 1,600Nm of torque, which Bugatti says is a 25% increase performance.
The four turbochargers are configured to ensure peak torque is delivered between 2,000rpm and 6,000rpm – and the car is reported to have a top speed of around 288mph, though it’s limited to 261mph on customer vehicles. But with a price tag of almost £2 million, and that’s not surprising given the options list, would you accept anything less than dazzling performance?
