Chiron: more powerful, faster and more expensive than the Veyron
Until recently, the world record for speed and high cost among mass-produced sports cars for a long time held by another famous model the same French manufacturer luxury cars - Bugatti Veyron.
The successor, the Chiron, has been made much more powerful - 1500 hp Speed indicators, although slightly, have also been improved: eight-liter engine W16 allows Chiron to accelerate from zero to hundreds in 2.5 seconds, and the maximum speed that the car can develop is 418.5 km/h. The price of the novelty significantly exceeds the cost of its predecessor Veyron and is $2.3 million(And that doesn't include premiums for exclusive personalization upgrades, which are the norm for cars in this class).
The model was named after Louis Chirona- the famous driver who became the oldest among all the drivers who have ever taken part in Formula 1 races: he was 55 years old when he took sixth place at the Monaco Grand Prix. Considering that he won most of the prizes driving a Bugatti, the brand paid tribute to Chiron by naming the 18 \ 3 Chiron concept car in his honor in 1999, and in 2016 - the fastest stock car Bugatti Chiron.
Chiron will be limited edition: Bugatti plans to release only 500 copies this model, with a third of the announced number already booked by the richest buyers in the world, who are waiting for the delivery of cars next year. Some have even bought used Veyrons so that, as Bugatti owners, they'll be among the first to buy the Chiron, the automaker said. The company declined to name the exact number of those who did so.
« The Bugatti family is an exclusive club of millionaires and billionaires who are linked by their commitment to our brand., - noted Bugatti production and sales director Hendrik Malinowski. - We reward them for their loyalty by giving them the opportunity to place an order for Chiron in advance, before all other potential buyers. Thus, they are guaranteed to receive one of the first production copies of the model produced.».
Secret Premiere
However, buying a Chiron is not an easy task, even for those who are willing to spend more than $2 million. And it's not just about the limited edition and the right of priority purchase for those in whose garage this Bugatti will not be the first. Even see the car before it official premiere only a few could - and then, in an atmosphere of the strictest secrecy. According to Malinowski, they wanted to make the first meeting of potential buyers with Chiron filled with emotions and unforgettable. For this, a format for a non-standard presentation of the novelty was developed, conditionally called the “secret premiere”. Its essence was as follows.
Starting from the summer of 2015, that is, six months before the official demonstration of the model to the world community, Bugatti began to present the Chiron to potential buyers. on the five most important for brand markets. The first premiere took place at the company's headquarters in the French city of Molsheim, then Chiron was demonstrated to millionaires in London, Los Angeles, United United Arab Emirates and Japan.
Invitations to the presentation did not come either as usual or by e-mail- it was too risky for the automaker, which took such unusual steps to keep information about the Chiron confidential until the model's official premiere at the Geneva Motor Show.
Instead of a letter, potential buyers received a personal invitation from a personal consultant or Bugatti dealer. The location of the Chiron was not disclosed: customers met with a Bugatti representative in a crowded place, such as, for example, a hotel or a Bugatti showroom. From there they were taken to a secret place. Upon arrival, guests were escorted through an unlit labyrinthine corridor into a spacious white shell-shaped cocoon that unfolded to reveal the Bugatti Chiron to the music, illuminated by light.
So secret and exclusive way to meet target audience with the car turned out to be effective, as evidenced by the pre-order for more than 150 of those planned for release 500 copies- and this is before the official premiere!
What the Chiron looks like and what it can do
The two-seater sports car Chiron, like its predecessor Veyron, will have a carbon fiber body, independent suspension and all-wheel drive.
By speed indicators Chiron ahead of Veyron: its modernized 8 liter engine turbocharged W16 issues 1500 hp., What 300 hp more than the power of a Veyron Super Sport, while the maximum speed that the Chiron is capable of is 418.5 km/h, what's all at 3.5 km/h more than a record Bugatti speed Veyron 16.4. However, in the future, no doubt, there will be new variations of the Chiron, the equipment of which will add precious kilometers per hour to top speed new modifications of the base model.
Like the Veyron, the Chiron is equipped with all-wheel drive And 7 speed automatic transmission With double clutch, and in its radiator almost 50 l coolant: primary circuit, calculated for 12 l liquid, cools the intercoolers of the turbocharging system, the second circuit, larger, is designed for the engine and pumps 37 l coolant three radiators.
Bugatti has increased the number of driving modes to five. Lift mode is activated at speed up to 50 km/h, during the passage of speed bumps by car and entry to carriageway. With standard automatic mode EV all settings are controlled on-board computer, this mode works at speed from 50 to 180 km/h. Autobahn mode ("Autobahn") is required for following high-speed straight lines at 180 km/h and higher. Handling mode (“Manual”) is activated while the car is driving on racing track. And finally, when turned on Top mode Speed ("Maximum speed") speed limits are removed, and the car reaches its speed "ceiling" at 418.5 km/h(in other modes, there is a restriction that does not allow the car to accelerate above 379 km/h, and in the "Rise" mode, the maximum speed is lower another 50 km/h).

At speeds...

After all, those who drive such a car almost never accelerate to a maximum speed of 400 km / h, if only because there are only a few circuits in the world designed to drive at such a speed. In addition, in addition to the price, Veyron is very difficult to obtain, as it is made by hand and on order. Many people choose similar sports cars: Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc. They are much cheaper, and the characteristics are almost the same.
