The Bugatti Chiron is the fastest car in the world, as it can drive down the road at more than 450 km/h (the speed is otherwise electronically limited at 420 km/h), driven by as much as 1,500 horsepower. Only 500 examples will be produced, and its first customer was none other than boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather, for whom the base price of the Bugatti Chiron was 2.4 million euros, a real spit in the sea. The French boutique manufacturer of ultra-fast cars put the supercar on display at the Geneva Motor Show.
Supercar Bugatti Chiron, the model's successor Bugatti Veyron, pushes boundaries. It is a car that produces the most horses among production cars and thus in many ways takes over the baton of its predecessor. It is really about a car of superlatives. It is powered by a heavily updated eight-liter quad turbo W16 engine from the Veyron (with 25 percent more power), assisted by four turbines, from which it squeezes incredible 1480 hp (1103 kW) and 1600 Nm of torque, which are available between 2000 and 6000 rpm. The terminal velocity is 420 km/h and is electronically limited (!), mainly due to the durability of the tires (Michelin 285/30 R20 at the front and 355/25 R21 at the rear).
And speaking of bikes. Power is transmitted to all four by a 7-speed automatic transmission via a Haldex clutch. The chassis (dual front and rear) is available in five levels for different road surfaces. They slow him down colossal brake discs (430 mm front and 400 mm rear) and "steel" 8-piston front calipers and 6-piston rear calipers. The 1,995-kilogram beauty is up to a hundred from carbon fiber from the place he shoots at the little ones 2.5 seconds. Despite the outrageous price (the entry-level version sells for 2.4 million euros) is already a third of the planned 500 copies sold out.

The impressive data of the Bugatti Chiron is not lacking here. Its air system can swallow as much 60 thousand liters of air per minute, and during this time the water pump has to pump as much as 800 liters of water through the engine! A sextet layer of clear lacquer is applied to the carbon fiber, and the carbon shell has the same structural strength as a racing car Le Mans LPM1. There is space for luggage in the front 44 liter suitcase, which, along with accessories such as shoes, you already get at the time of purchase. The exhaust is made of titanium, and new valves, crankshafts and cylinders were also installed.
The car will be able to go much faster than 420 km/h, so it will certainly be possible to break the current speed record 434 km/h. According to calculations, it is also possible to drive at speed without blocking between 458 and 462 km/h! The interior is minimalistic, but not far from the comfort of the living room and mixes the old with the new. An abundance of leather awaits us, analog speedometer, which is accompanied by a digital information display, and the two-seater also has Wi-Fi "Aura".
