Bugatti Chiron

It's way better looking than the Veyron.

 

A great non-driving review of the Chiron that does not focus on the obvious technical spec's of the car that have already been covered by many.

I think it looks great in black. I also love that blue interior. I agree w the video though, no competition when the Veyron came out. Now there is crazy competition. Bugatti may have trouble moving 500 normal Chirons, especially if there's some sort of economic correction.

 

100% agree, especially since they are essentially pushing out the same formula. I will say the car look amazing in black w/ blue interior. maybe having the front matte and the rear gloss might make it pop more. The two color Bugatti cars IMHO look the best.

A really nice documentary about the Chiron.

I like the Chiron more each time I see it. Stunning and sharp compared to Veyron.

 

I'm also warming to it more every time I see it, and I see AutoExpress consider it 'more tactile' than the Veyron, so it bodes well. Plus suggesting 250 firm deposits already on the 500 car total run, so looking like it'll sell. (Hope it's ok to link to AutoExpress??)

So much better looking than the Veyron. I have never liked the looks of the Veyron.

This is insane. Chiron struggles for grip at first but once it links up, look out. I've never seen a speedo climb like that except on the one:1 but these are totally different cars. P1, 918, LAF aren't even close once the Chiron gets traction.

 

Probably didn't even spill his latte!

Looks insanely sinister in black. I can't wait for the official statistics from reviews to come out. 0-200 mph in 15 seconds or so I'm guessing. Performance on an entirely different level.

That's about 10 seconds faster to 200 mph than a Porsche 918 to put things in perspective.

 

I cannot begin to describe the feeling of driving this car. It was smooth, it was beyond incredibly fast, it had great steering feel, and phenomenally enjoyable stopping power.

Please elaborate further!

 

Yes, please share more thoughts! The all black with orange interior Jethroe test drove looks phenomenal. I really want one now.

 

I have never driven in a faster, more luxurious car. Think about that combo.

Andy Wallace, who was my co-pilot, raged on about the steering feeling and feedback. He has many more hours in the car than I do, of course. What I did gather rather quickly in the two and a half hour test drive, was that the steering feel in this car was as good as that in my 2011 GT3RS which has been sort of my benchmark. To come from a 4,400 pound car is mind boggling.

The acceleration in this beautiful beast could be nausea inducing. Andy told me one passenger had nearly blacked out from the acceleration while yet another had soiled themself. Immediately after his accelerating from 50-170 I knew how this could have happened. Then the braking was like being passenger in a race car and being thrown forward into your safety restraint.

While the braking power (estimated at 2000hp) was even more fun than the acceleration, said acceleration and ease and comfort was unparalleled. Within two minutes of taking the wheel, he said punch it. I floored it on a straight patch of road for just a little while, and after braking, was speechless at having just hit 193. Later, on a bumpy up and down stretch, I hit 173. This was never a risky or uncomfortable sort of thing. It was a stable, comfortable cruise. The bumps were absorbed easily and the wheels always planted.

A story was relayed of a test driver who enjoyed accelerating to 150, taking his hands off the wheel, and braking hard. The car is so well engineered, so stable, that braking was absolutely straight and the hands weren't needed.

I am in no way suggesting or recommending anyone drive unsafely. What I am trying to say is that at these ridiculous speeds, this car feels stable. Beyond stable. Slamming on the brakes after hitting 228, the car didn't move left or right on me, just this awesomely huge stopping power that made me smile broadly.

I feel my summary is grossly inadequate to describe this masterpiece of automotive engineering.

 

Wow!
where did this take place?

 

I feel the Chiron is the only car to get at the moment in the $1 million and up range. I wouldn't even look at a P1/918/LAF/Pagani/Ksegg etc. over a Chiron. The reviews have been beyond expectation.

 

I had the honour to Drive the Chiron today, also with Andy as my co driver. I can agree with Your Impression. I ordered the Chiron Way back at the end of 2015 but I did Not expect that out of this world experience in Portugal today. The Word accelaration has a new meaning to me After this drive.

The Test drives did take Place around Lisbon in Portugal.

I would not have believed that number yesterday. But After Diving the Chiron today and sitting next to Andy Wallace when accelerating out of a toll Box from Zero without any wheelspin I think the Chiron is on a different Level.

Amazing. I'm insanely jealous.

This is awful...
