Questions to mate the Bugatti Veyron still more questions than answers, but with a couple of points today, we finally figured out — the company has finally officially confirmed the name of Chiron (until now, we relied on insider information) and announced the premiere of a novelty at the Geneva motor show.
The name of the successor to chief hypercar on the planet, of course, was not chosen by chance — the model will be called in honor of the legendary racer Louis Chiron that in 20-30 years he played for “Bugatti”. The company called the Chiron the greatest racer, seriously affecting its development and future in General.
The machine, and it is credited with many beautiful words — Bugatti promises “the most powerful, fast, luxurious and exclusive production sports car in the world”. Which, incidentally, has already collected over 100 pre-orders, despite the fact that the total circulation of Chiron will not exceed 500 units (50 more than the “Baranov”).
In fact, we are waiting for the serial continuation of the virtual superconcept public static function Vision Gran Turismo with a very real stuffing, which is an improved version of the familiar W16 Quad-turbo with a volume of 8.0 L. Probably to powerful W added some electropribory, and the total capacity of the system will be over 1500 forces. In practice, this should mean 0-100 km/h in 2.3 seconds, 0-300 km/h in 15 seconds and 470-480 km/h maximum speed (speedometer in this case will be marked up to 500 kilometers per hour).
It is possible that the spring in Geneva, we will see a pre-production variant, but hope for the best was not forbidden. And here's another delicious item — by 2018 will be an outdoor Chiron Targa. Wow!
