Le Mans winner and BUGATTI official test driver Andy Wallace reached the top speed on the Ehra-Lessien test track in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Almost 70 seconds at full throttle were enough to push the CHIRON to its limits.
The rear design is the heart and soul of the car: the "longtail" extends the body, allowing the laminar flow to pass over a longer surface, reducing the aerodynamic stall by more than 40 percent.
The new tailpipe configuration and bespoke lower diffuser creates the perfect balance between low drag and downforce while improving performance and stability, even at speeds over 420 km/h (261 mph).
All interior trim parts have a black anodized finish, while the rear-view mirror and center line are painted in "Beluga Black."
Perfectly matched with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the W16 powerhouse provides tremendous thrust up to 7100 revs. The engine's high rev range allows for quick acceleration and impressive top speeds.
0 to 200 km/h in 5.8 s
0 to 300 km/h in 12.1 s
Optimized and reinforced components allow for higher revving characteristics.
New active suspension and steering software keep the power under control in all conditions.
The suspension setup reaches the perfect balance of speed and stability thanks to new performance-oriented kinematics and fine-tuned driving dynamic systems.
