The Bugatti Chiron Sport celebrated its global debut in March at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, and it has now arrived in Malaysia. That’s right, the manic hypercar makes its second stop in the ASEAN region after appearing at the recent Fullerton Concours d’Elegance in Singapore.
Compared to the standard Chiron, the Sport comes with improved dynamics thanks to a 10% stiffer suspension setup, an optimised rear-axle differential as well as a new Dynamic Torque Vectoring function that distributes torque individually to the wheels on each side.
The use of carbon-fibre for various components like the stabiliser, intercooler cover and the windscreen wipers are all part of the Chiron Sport’s weight-saving regime. Together with lighter glass in the rear window and a new exhaust deflector, the car weighs 18 kg less compared to a regular Chiron.
Unchanged here is the gargantuan 8.0 litre quad-turbo W16 engine, which continues to churn out 1,479 hp (1,500 PS) and 1,600 Nm of torque. Power goes to all four corners via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the car will complete the 0-100 km/h sprint in under 2.5 seconds.
The Chiron Sport is differentiated from the regular model by its four-pipe exhaust at the rear and the more angular design for the lightweight wheels. Around the Nardo handling circuit, Bugatti says the Chiron Sport is five seconds quicker than the standard Chiron, and is capable of “reaching its full handling potential even at cornering speeds in excess of 200 km/h.”
Wearnes Automotive is the company representing Bugatti in Southeast Asia, along with Aston Martin and Bentley. If you want one, you’ll first have to get in touch with them, whereby a 200,000-euro (RM945,205) deposit is required for a contract with the Molsheim-based company to be made.
The entire transaction will only be conducted in euros, and the vehicle’s base price is 2.65 million euros (about RM12.5 million) before taxes and options, payable to Bugatti themselves. That’s obviously a lot of money but if you don’t mind something a little scaled down and not capable of doing 420 km/h, there’s always the cheaper Lego Technic version.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Never mind the RM12 million price tag. How many can even afford the yearly road-tax & insurance let alone buying one. Looks like only a handful people in the top bracket can afford this.
Without GST, you can save a lot
He he he. U seriously think 6% GST will make a difference ?
6% of RM12m = RM720,000.
I can buy 20 Proton Saga 2019!
Chiron can only pump Petron ron100 euro4m fuel in Malaysia
Veli soon even Chiron owners will cry when pump RON97. Later move down to RON95 to afford driving it.
Chiron owners will cry? Nah, only the one going to Sg. Buloh
Got money buy car, no money buy insurance
New MM1 incoming
I’ll take the LEGO instead
RM12M before tax? after tax and some options = RM30M???
I think it is enough for me by spraying the ‘13’ at my mazda cx5 grill
That’s obviously a lot of money but if you don’t mind something a little scaled down and not capable of doing 420 km/h, there’s always the cheaper Lego Technic version. LOL
Sure for the vast majority it’s unattainable and unpractical as a car – performance and price-wise. But it inspires us to strive harder and serves to illustrate what’s possible in life when you go for it. That’s how you should look at this car. Not the bank-busting price.
well, also not many people can afford to buy the lego version (rm2k). buying the car cash? maybe taib mahmud or jho low can la.
Boboi sure can afford. Billionaire mah!
where is it on display at
My cervelo road bike is faster than this Chiron in traffic jams.
some said this is a car even a bank robber won’t consider buy….
Once you buy it, LHDN and MACC will be all over you.
I will trade in my bmw z5 quad turbo for this.
Aiya wrong timing, just lost 2 very potential buyers: Jibbee and JL
Where is the car being displayed in Malaysia? Would like to take a glimpse of this rare icon! Please advise as my son would also like to see his dream car.
Yes that all !y dreams car’s
RM12million and you can’t even recline the seats?! Ah well, I’ll stick to my trusted Axia, thank you very much.
