Overview of Bugatti Chiron

Bugatti Chiron is one of the top 10 fastest cars in the world and king of sports cars. The sports car is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron, named after the driver Louis Chiron. Although Bugatti produced the Chiron in 2016, it still exists in the list of top 10 fastest cars in the world. The sports car ranks at number 8 in the list of top 10 fastest cars in the world.

The Bugatti head exterior designer Frank Heyl designed the sports car in collaboration with Italian engineering firm Dallara and tire manufacturer Michelin.

Performance of Bugatti Chiron

The hypercar accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 2.4 seconds, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 6.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) in 13.6 seconds.

The Chiron also broke the fastest 0-400-0 km/h record, accelerating in 41.96 seconds; accelerating from 0-400 km/h (249 mph) in 32.6 seconds and then deaccelerating from 400 km/h to zero in 9.36 seconds.

Bugatti Chiron is capable of reaching the top speed of 280 km/h, but it’s electronically limited to 261 mph due to safety limitations, especially tires. No tire company manufactured the tire which can resist such fast speeds for a longer time.

Production of Bugatti Chiron

Bugatti produced only 60 units of Bugatti Chiron in 2016 offering an astonishing price of $2.6 million each. Out of them, half of them were reserved before the release of this supercar by paying an advance deposit of €200,000 before their purchase

Bugatti manufactured Chiron at a small factory in Molsheim, France. The production was a sophisticated process because just 20 employees assembled it by hand from more than 1,800 parts.
