The undisputed top speed champion is once again a Bugatti. Again limited to 30 customer cars, like the Veyron Super Sport, this purpose-built speed machine was taken to 304.773mph by British sports car veteran Andy Wallace at the VW Group’s Ehra-Lessien test track. Appropriately nicknamed Thor (because it brings the thunder), the Chiron’s quad-turbocharged W16 engine produced 1578bhp in record-setting guise. It was given a new gearbox with longer ratios, and front and rear bumpers that were optimized for high speed runs.
Adds Some Features in 2020
Bugatti adds a couple new variants to the Chiron lineup for the 2020 model year. The Chiron Sport 110 Ans Edition is based on the Chiron Sport, and it was created to pay homage to the brand’s 110-year anniversary. It features a two-tone exterior color scheme and accents that employ the tricolor French flag. Only 20 of these very special models will be built. Bugatti also welcomes the SuperSport 300+ to the Chiron’s roster, and only 30 of them will be offered to the public. The 2020 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ has nearly the same specs as the car that set a world record by reaching a speed of 304.773 mph at the Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany, and it’s motivated by a 1578-hp engine. A handling-focused model called “Pur Sports ” will join the lineup in the second half of 2020.
