Description
Named after Monegasque driver Louis Chiron, the Bugatti Chiron is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It gets its styling cues from the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept car.

Similar in concept to the Veyron, its drive consists of a Haldex all-wheel drive system, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an eight liter quad-turbocharged engine that produces 1479 hp (1103 kW) and 1180 ft·lb (1600 N·m) of torque starting from 2000 rpm.

As with the Veyron Super Sport, the high-performance variant of the Veyron, the Chiron has a carbon fiber body, but is based on a new carbon fiber monocoque that has a stiffness comparable to LMP1 cars. Weighing 4398 lb (1995 kg), it is lighter by 72 lb (33 kg) than the Veyron 16.4 but still heavier than most hypercars including the Veyron Super Sport itself.

Its rear wing deploys at 60 mph (97 km/h) and slightly lowers at speeds above 140 mph (225 km/h) to increase handling. It also folds up under heavy braking to improve braking performance.

In a world record-setting test, the Chiron reached 249 mph (400 km/h) in 32.6 seconds, after which it braked to a stop 9.4 seconds later, thus setting a world record for 0 to 249 to 0 mph (0 to 400 to 0 km/h), done in 42 seconds. Its record was beaten by the Koenigsegg Agera RS in October 2017 that completed the same run in 36.44 seconds.

For the 2019 production year, after ironing out issues and finally having a set of proper 300+ mph rated tires from Michelin, Bugatti introduced a 300+ MPH capable version of the Chiron for sale, making it simultaneously the worlds first road legal car to reach such speeds and the fastest road legal car in the world as of November of 2019.

The Chiron is capable of 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.4 seconds, 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 4.9 seconds and tops out at around 269 mph (433 km/h), which is higher than its real life limited top speed of 261 mph (420 km/h). Therefore straight-line performance is similar to that of the Veyron Super Sport, although the Chiron has slightly quicker acceleration and narrowly beats its top speed by up to 2 mph (3 km/h).

Note: LEGO has built a life-sized model of it out of Technic pieces. LEGO also made a Speed Champions version and a Technic version.
