Bugatti Chiron: Exclusive Feature Drive
No car in the world has ever had a tougher act to follow.
Celebrity: according to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, it indicates the state of being celebrated. For the Bugatti Chiron, there’s no argument there. But Bugatti’s stranglehold on the hypercar market has come under siege by the likes of Porsche’s 918, Ferrari’s La Ferrari, and McLaren’s P1. Out of those cars, there’s still something about the Bugatti that’s different. The Veyron was a masterpiece of engineering, taking the automobile to heights hinted at by cars like the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40.
But where the F1 and F40 were adapted vehicles with motorsport degrees, Bugatti didn’t have to follow any racing rules or regulations to build the Veyron. And like that car redefined speed, The Chiron has done it for a new generation.And the Chiron uses nothing other than combustion for propulsion.

And the Chiron uses nothing other than combustion for propulsion. Considering that almost everything else in its segment is a hybrid, Bugatti stands defiantly in opposition.

That doesn’t just apply to the engine; the exterior and interior are thoroughly new too. The improved aerodynamics also help take the Chiron to a top speed of 261 miles per hour. That’s limited because that’s all the tires can take at that speed.
Even more impressive is that it can sustain that speed for all of seven minutes before you run out of gas. And people complain about the range of EV cars.
