Default Bugatti Chiron spied during testing
Chiron is to be Veyron successor. Here it is testing with the skin of a Veyron











A couple of facts for those who don't know:

- still the same 8l W16 engine, 1500 hp
- turbochargers now with electric help (Audi RS5 TDi-like)
- Torque gets electronically limited to 1498 NM
- 2 seconds for 0-100 km/h
- a top speed of 463 km/h in Bugatti's simulator
- Hybrid engine (ICE will work with an electric motor)


full article (in german)

I would love to see a test between that and the new Koenigsegg Regera (twin turbo 5L + 3 electric motors) 1800BHP 150km/h - 250km/h in 3.2 secs.

2 seconds 0-100.. now thats impressive. Wonder if Nissan will follow suit with a GTR with 0-100 time of 1.7 seconds.

I'm guessing that it's data-logging gear.

They’re Australian Motoring Journalists checking to see if the Bugatti or the Commodore is the better overall package.

I imagine it would be much the same as commy vs falcon...

Commy has a fractionally better chassis but the Ford (Bugatti) has the driveline.

I think that they are just plain ugly and they didn’t want to offend us.
