The elusive Bugatti Chiron has once again been teased by its makers. Set for a full reveal at the coming 2016 Geneva Motor Show, here, Bugatti is laying claim to breaking new dimensions with its new Chiron hypercar.
Without a word, the 40-second clip quickly blitzes through snippets of adrenalin-pumping action from all corners of the globe. There’s a man that appears to be running up a the side of building, a jet-fighter, a snake, a volcano, an astronaut and so much more.
We’re not quite sure what exactly Bugatti is getting at here, and the only clear message is a line that reads, “breaking new dimensions” at the end, before a brief appearance of the Chiron name.
In any case, we’ve shown you several spy videos of the menacing Bugatti Chiron in the past. We’ve also reported that an updated version of the Veyron’s 8.0 litre W16 quad-turbo engine will be carried forward into its successor. The powertrain will also likely feature some form of electrification for additional power.
Several reports suggest that a total 1,500 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque will be at the Chiron’s disposal. As a result the road-going missile is said to have a top speed of 467 km/h, smashing the 1,200 hp Veyron Super Sport’s 425 km/h. The Chiron will also be quicker off the line, with a 0-100 km/h time of 2.2 seconds.
Should you be lucky to even consider buying one, you may want to do so quickly because production numbers will be limited to just 500 units. That’s 50 more units than the Veyron’s total production run, and we understand that only 100 units will be made in a year. It is also estimated that a base Chiron would retail from some two million euros (RM9.45 million).
