Bugatti developed a new vehicle design with optimized aerodynamics for the Chiron Super Sport’s streamlined bodywork. The new Chiron Super Sport is an uncompromising reincarnation of the Bugatti design mantra, ‘form follows performance’. From the front splitter to the rear diffuser, every centimeter of its skin is designed for top speed.At speeds over 420 km/h, a vehicle must offer sufficient downforce alongside minimal drag. “Our aim was to give the vehicle a neutral setup at its top speed while also giving it as streamlined a shape as possible.” explains Frank Heyl, Deputy Design Director at Bugatti. The uplift forces exerted on the bodywork at 440 km/h are immense. The body of the Chiron Super Sport generates massive downforce to counter this uplift and perfectly balance the forces. “The design process was therefore in particular about achieving aerodynamic efficiency,” Heyl continues. The Chiron Super Sport’s extended rear, which is known as a long tail, gives it new proportions and very distinctive aesthetics. An optional, new, horizontal color split visually extends the proportions of the Chiron Super Sport even further, making the hyper sports car appear even lower.
Bugatti is excited to be back at the globally renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed. Taking place on the resplendent grounds of Goodwood House near Chichester (West Sussex), the Chiron Pur Sport1 will be driven up the illustrious hill climb, with the all-new Chiron Super Sport2 on static display at the event, as one of its first public appearances. The Bugatti Baby II will also be making a static appearance at the Festival of Speed.
Torque of 1,600 newton-meters, power output of 1,600 PS, and a top speed of 440 km/h – the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport1 is the world’s most powerful and fastest production hyper sports car. It has held the speed record for production vehicles since summer 2019, when it hit a speed of 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) – a one-of-a-kind in automotive history and a technological masterpiece.To continuously develop and optimize its production vehicles, Bugatti regularly puts them through their paces under extreme conditions. Only an especially high-performance all-wheel single-roller dynamometer will do when it comes to the technical support needed to check their power output and top speeds.
Under his leadership, Bugatti has redefined modern day coachbuilding with the Divo, La Voiture Noire and Centodieci models. At the same time, the team expanded the Chiron family. Though technically very different, the Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport6 hyper sports cars offer the maximum spread of the “Bugatti spectrum of performance”. In addition, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ became the first production car ever to break the 300-mph barrier in the summer of 2019. Having achieved a speed of 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h), the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is since considered the fastest production car in the world. With the Bolide, Bugatti developed the most uncompromising vehicle in its history at the end of 2020, which will be produced in a small series in 2024.
The first production car to explore a new dimension of straight-line performance was Bugatti’s record-breaking sensation; the Chiron Super Sport 300+. Having now completed its extensive two-year testing and development program, the first eight of just 30 highly exclusive vehicles are now ready for delivery.When the Chiron Super Sport 300+ first made headlines back in 2019, Bugatti established an entirely new standard of performance by blasting through the seemingly unbreakable 300 mph barrier. Surpassing the threshold at a speed of 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h), setting a new world record. Shortly after, to mark the 110th anniversary of the French luxury marque, it was announced that 30 units of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ would be built at Bugatti’s Atelier in Molsheim.
