Hypercar Bugatti Veyron eleven years ago, he set several records at once among cars designed for driving on public roads. And the main goal of the creators of the new coupe under the name Chiron was to update all the records of its predecessor. And they succeeded!
It is impossible to consider Chiron as a completely new model - Veyron was taken as the basis, although almost all nodes and elements have undergone modernization. For example, the unique eight-liter W16 engine is completely redesigned - it has more efficient turbochargers (there are four of them, as before), a new intake system, a lightweight crankshaft, and many parts are made of titanium and carbon fiber. As a result, the return increased from 1200 hp. and 1500 Nm for the previous Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse up to 1500 hp. and 1600 Nm.
The transmission with a seven-speed preselective “robot” and permanent all-wheel drive has not fundamentally changed, although the clutches have become larger and more durable. Suspension - with electronically controlled shock absorbers. The coupe, as before, is based on a carbon fiber monocoque, but its structure has been changed, and in terms of torsional rigidity it is comparable to racing prototypes of the LMP1 class: 50 thousand Nm / deg! But if the base Veyron in running order weighed 1888 kg, then Chiron got fat up to 1995 kg.
This is partly why the acceleration time to 100 km / h remained the same - 2.5 s, although when it comes to such small values, no less important role plays the coefficient of adhesion of tires to the road. But the Chiron takes the threshold of 200 km / h in 6.5 seconds - 0.8 seconds faster than the Veyron. And acceleration to 300 km / h takes 13.6 s instead of 16.7 s. The maximum speed is 420 km / h, then the Veyron reached 407 km / h, and the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse - 410 km / h. Moreover, to set the “maximum speed”, as before, you need to activate a special speed mode with a separate key, in which the hydrosupports of the springs will reduce the clearance to a minimum, the aerodynamic valves will open in front bumper, and the rear wing will rise almost horizontally. Without this key, you can dial "only" 380 km / h.
But no less important fact: Russian designer Alexander Selipanov worked on the look of the new Bugatti. The coupe still has the family's horseshoe-shaped radiator grille and dashing arcs on the sidewalls. In the cabin - a minimum of keys and two screens in the instrument cluster, and the speedometer is marked up to 500 km / h - just in case.
Production of the Bugatti Chiron hypercars will begin in September. The price is also a record one: if Veyron initially cost 1.1 million euros, and latest version Grand Sport Vitesse - almost two million, then at least 2.4 million will be asked for the new model! Veyron was produced in the amount of 450 copies, but latest machines found buyers with difficulty, and then only due to the fact that they were presented as limited special equipment. The circulation of the new model is 500 copies, and a third of them have already been prepaid.
Ever since childhood, the most fascinating and impressive indicator of a car has been its top speed. Once upon a time, cars hit the limit of 160 km / h, then - 200, 300 ... As a result, the technical genius easily brought this limit to 430 km / h and even higher. Who is the fastest today? It turns out that it is difficult to answer this question, because there are at least two contenders for the crown.
What is the name of the fastest road car in 2017-2018
The current record holder is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. This is one of the most expensive (from $ 2.5 million) and luxurious cars of our time. And its pedigree confirms that in the DNA of this beast lies many victories of world famous racers of the last century. After the acquisition of the French company Bugatti by Volkswagen AG, the Germans set out to take revenge on the British and Italians by setting a new speed record among road cars. As a result, the goal was achieved, and the authoritative TV show BBC Top Gear recognized the hypercar " best car century."
The official test drive to determine the maximum speed of this coupe was made on July 4, 2010, at the Volkswagen test site in Germany. Behind the wheel was test driver Pierre-Henri Rafanel. According to the regulations of the Guinness Book of Records, the car had to cover the distance first in one direction of the track, then in the other. The average indicator of the "maximum speed" was taken into account.
The first roll, from south to north, hit 266 mph. In the opposite direction, the Bugatti accelerated to the speedometer mark of 270 miles. As a result of calculations, the average maximum speed (266 + 270 / 2) was 268 miles or 431.072 kilometers per hour. It is worth noting that the developers of the model were amazed at this good result, after all, they expected at best at 425 km / h. The result was officially recorded.
Hidden under the body panels of the French giant is a high-tech gasoline unit Bugatti 16.4. It has a unique W-shaped design and implies the presence of 16 cylinders. From a working volume of 8 liters, engineers were able to squeeze out a herd of 1,200 "horses".
Video about the fastest car in the worldBugattiVeyron
Peak torque reaches 1,500 Nm and is distributed along the axles through an all-wheel drive system and a 7-speed dual-clutch robot of the DSG family. The Veyron speedometer display changes the second hundred already after 2.5 seconds after the start. And all this in first gear.
In its normal state, the car can please the owner with acceleration “only” up to 375 km / h. To get closer to the limit of the machine's capabilities, you will need to unlock the so-called "high-speed" mode with a special key. In this case ground clearance will decrease to 65 mm, under the bottom of the "Frenchman" will unfold in a special way aerodynamic elements, thereby reducing the drag of the wheels. There will also be a change in the calibration of the rotation of the retractable rear wing in the stern (this element rises when braking is necessary by high speeds and getting more downforce on rear axle). According to the factory documentation, the “civilian” versions of the Veyron (with the exception of certain special series) do not accelerate faster than 408.9 km / h, since the electronic limiter is enabled by default.
What is the fastest car in the world: American version
Soon after the triumph of the French-German Bugatti project, enthusiasts on the North American continent asked themselves the question of the maximum “maximum speed” for a production car. Within the walls of a small company, Hennessey, work began on creating a competitor to the current record holder. The car was called the Hennessey Venom GT and basically had the chassis and body of the well-known Lotus Elise sports car. After a major modification, the 7-liter V8 bi-turbo was able to produce 1244 hp, which is 44 "horses" more than the "Veyron". In addition, the “American” turned out to be noticeably lighter than an all-wheel drive projectile, which could tip the scales in its favor. Acceleration from zero to hundreds was 2.7 s.
D-Day was scheduled for February 14, 2014. They were going to set the record on the runway of the Kennedy Space Center, 5 km long, in Florida, USA. To track the speed of "Venom" attracted satellite system GPS Racelogic Vblox, various high-precision equipment was also involved. According to the results of the race, the experts found that before the car began to slow down before the end of the track, the instruments recorded figures of 270 miles per hour, that is, 434 km / h.
But representatives of the Guinness Book of Records refused to confirm the fact of setting a new record, since the race did not comply with the rules for such measurements. As in the case of Bugatti, the average is taken into account, which could not be subtracted. At the same time, the management of the space center refused to provide the Hennessey team with a track for further testing. According to John Hennessy himself, even for a single race, he had to beg for a strip for almost two years from people from NASA. As a result, there was no breaking of the current record, although american car actually surpassed the result of his French rival.
"Scam" Bugatti Veyron
In April 2014, the expert commission of the Guinness Book of Records suddenly stated that the record of the Veyron was wrongfully recorded, since the car was "not in a serial version." The British edition of Driving petitioned for an investigation into this fact. As a result, it was found that during the race, the test pilot drove the hypercar with the speed limiter turned off, which ordinary buyers of this vehicle cannot do on their own.
The entry in the Book has been reset. But a few days later, after even more careful scrutiny and taking into account the arguments of Bugatti, the commission apologized for the premature verdict. As the experts ultimately considered, "Changing the operation of the speed limiter does not change the design of the car or the performance of its engine." The speed championship crown was returned to Molsheim, where it is still formally located.
In conclusion, it is worth emphasizing that both leaders in the speed ratings promise to present in 2016-2017. qualitatively new releases, which, as they assure, will be much more powerful and more dynamic not only than their predecessors, but also possible competitors.

Koenigsegg vs Bugatti is one of the brightest confrontations in the automotive world. For a long time, the fastest and most powerful cars were considered engineering masterpieces from Bugatti. It was this company that made the production of hypercars serial. If earlier Bugatti cars existed only in a few dozen copies and were exclusively in private collections, now they have become a product of mass use among wealthy people. Despite the fact that the cost of Bugatti supercars is still sky-high, their owners have become an order of magnitude larger.
The Bugatti Veyron was considered the uncompromising leader in the automotive industry and had no competitors until the small Swedish company entered the market. Koenigsegg company, which presented its offspring Agera R. The car immediately became an unprecedented popularity. In some respects, the Swedes managed to outperform Bugatti, but in others they are still struggling with the world leader in the super-prestige car industry.
Compare design koenigsegg vs bugatti?
Compare interior design and comfort Bugatti cars and Koenigsegg makes little sense since:
- Tastes could not be discussed. Bold Bugatti designs and Koenigsegg distinguished by sophistication and originality, but not everyone likes it. There will always be a car enthusiast who will not like appearance one or another car;
- Due to the speeds that cars are capable of developing, their exterior has many similarities. Despite the fact that the designers of each of the companies tried to make their hypercar unique and recognizable, a person who does not understand the intricacies of the auto industry will not be able to properly appreciate the efforts of specialists;
- Cars of this class, by definition, are assembled from the highest quality materials and have the maximum possible level comfort;
- in opposition Koenigsegg vs Bugatti has always had the most important speed characteristics and dynamic performance.
Agera R vs. Veyron 16.4 Super Sport
In order to be properly convinced of the superiority of any model, it is necessary to compare it with a competitor in a variety of characteristics. Comparison of 15 indicators will help determine the leader of the Agera R and Veyron 16.4 Super Sport technical race.
1. Maximum speed.
For each car, the manufacturer installs a special limiter that does not allow the driver to use the car's resource at 100%. For example, to "squeeze out" the maximum Bugatti speed, you need a second key that opens the world of unlimited speeds.
So m The maximum speed that the Veyron can reach when unlocked is 429 km/h. AtAgera R this figure is higher - 440 km / h. The first plus in the team of the Swedes.
2. Gearbox. Contemporary double clutch was invented specifically for the release of the first Veyron, since a conventional box could not cope with high power engine. In such a gearbox, two friction clutches work simultaneously, which makes it possible to select the next gear while the previous one is still working. Thus, the torque transmitted to the wheels is continuous, and the car picks up speed more smoothly without losing power. Both Veyron and Agera are equipped with this system. Therefore, box comparison cannot reveal a leader.
3. Acceleration time to 100 km/h. Acceleration from zero to hundreds is an indicator that even those far from automotive world People. To accelerate to 100 km / h Agera R, the driver will need 2.8 seconds. Veyron will do it in 2.5 seconds.
4. Engine size. This indicator is directly related to the number of "horses" and the power of the car. The volume of the engine is equal to the total volume of all cylinders and the Agera R is 5 liters, while the Bugatti Veyron has as much as 8 liters! It seems that in such characteristics as power and speed, Bugatti wins.
5. Number of cylinders. Veyron engine more resource than Agera R. Koenigsegg works with 8-cylinder systems, and Bugatti with 16-cylinder.
6. Maximum moment of force. This indicator is also very closely related to the number Horse power. The moment indicates the power of the car during acceleration and is measured in Newtons per meter. The Swedes managed to really invent cool car, however, engineers from Bugatti managed to beat even this result. The maximum torque of the Bugatti Veyron was 1500 Nm, which is a quarter more than that of the Agera R. Bugatti is in the lead!
7. Power. The number of "horses" under the hood is one of the most important indicators of any car. Koenigsegg loses here too - Bugatti Veyron for 60 horsepower more powerful than Agera R, hiding 1140 hp in its depths.
8. Drive. Rear-wheel drive allows the car to accelerate faster due to a more rational redistribution of weight when driving. In addition, on high speeds rear-wheel drive cars are easier to drive. It would seem that the Agera R wins in this component. However, the situation with Bugatti is not much worse - the Veyron model is all-wheel drive, which also has its advantages, for example, increased traction.
9. Wheelbase and pendant. Long wheelbase provides more comfortable handling and smooth acceleration of the car. The suspension also affects the quality of overcoming various road obstacles and controlling the behavior of the car on the road. The wheelbase is 5 cm longer on the Veyron. It would seem a little, but still. Koenigsegg has a base length of 2.66 m.
AND Koenigsegg Agera R, and Bugatti Veyron are equipped with systems independent suspension providing smooth ride and amazing handling.
10. Ease of management of additional functions. And in Agera R, and Veyron built special system, which allows you to easily use the benefits of civilization that are most in demand by drivers. The convenience of controlling the music in the cabin, navigation and phone calls, perhaps, is on the same high level. Unlike the Veyron Koenigsegg boasts a rear view camera that allows you to get maximum information about everything that happens outside the car.
11. Environmental friendliness. The degree of environmental impact is of great importance in the automotive industry. CO 2 emissions from engines Agera R and Veyron, are in bounds established by international associations. However, in Koenigsegg were able to create more environmentally clean car. Veyron releases 539 grams into the atmosphere CO 2 per kilometer, almost double that of the Agera R (310 g/km).
12. Mass. The heavier the car, the more inert it is. Often, the mass determines the speed qualities of the machine. However, it seems that this is not about Agera R and Veyron. Compared to the Koenigsegg, the Bugatti is a real fat man. Agera R weight - 1435 kg, Veyron weight - 1838 kg.
13. Profitability and volume of the gas tank. The fuel economy indicator is extremely important for monsters of speed, because fuel consumption at the limit can be extremely high. The Veyron requires much more frequent refueling than the Agera R. The Veyron averages 23.1 liters per 100 km, while the Agera R has 14.7 liters. For every 100 km of the highway, the Bugatti masterpiece consumes 14.9 liters of fuel, and Koenigsegg - 12.5 liters. This is probably why t The Agera R has an 80-litre fuel tank, while its Bugatti competitor has a 100-litre tank.
14. Anti-theft system. Another vote in favor of Bugatti would be the availability automatic system car tracking in case of theft. Unlike Veyron, Koenigsegg machines are not equipped with such equipment.
15. Design features. doors Koenigsegg, which can open up like beetle wings, amaze many car enthusiasts. Veyron is more conservative in this regard.
You can familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the Bugatti Veyron in more detail. Read about the future of this model in Russia.
It would seem that speed is far from being the main factor in the confrontation between Bugatti and Koenigsegg, so it is not difficult to identify a clear leader. By most measures, the Veyron wins. However, to call the car Koenigsegg Agera R less cool language does not turn. When comparing these cars, it is important to understand that the Veyron is for everyday use, while its Swedish counterpart is for racing and breaking records. It is up to you to choose the best of them.
Usually the main novelties of large car dealerships are mass models, but Geneva 2016 was an exception in this regard. Here the Bugatti Chiron came to the fore - the fastest stock car. Having finalized the Veyron to last valve, the engineers managed to remove 1500 hp from the hypercar's engine, thanks to which the maximum speed of the car increased to an unimaginable 420 km per hour. We wandered around the Chiron in Geneva for a long time, periodically looking into the salon, and compiled a guide to the fastest car in the galaxy.
What's under his hood?
Bugatti took the path of least resistance and decided not to develop new engine for the Chiron, but take the Veyron motor and tweak it properly. Under the hood, the hypercar has the same 8.0-liter W16 with four turbochargers. The motor received a different intake and exhaust system, more effective system cooling and new nozzles. All this led to the fact that the output of the unit increased from 1200 to 1500 horsepower. But the torque of the all-wheel drive hypercar has grown by only 100 Nm - up to 1600 Newton meters.The increased power also required certain modifications to the gearbox. The engine, as before, is paired with a 7-speed "robot", which has increased grip.
How has the dynamic changed?
From the seat, the Chiron is not as good as a sports bike, but, for example, Nissan GT-R new Bugatti bypass. Acceleration to “hundreds” of the hypercar takes 2.5 seconds – exactly the same as its predecessor. But he gains 200 km / h almost a second faster than the Veyron, doing this exercise in 6.5 seconds. Up to 300 km / h Chiron will accelerate faster than some foreign cars will gain a "hundred" - in 13.6 seconds. The maximum speed increased slightly - by only 10 km / h, up to 420 km per hour. The Chiron could go even faster, but it would hardly be safe given the technical tolerances of the tires.By the way, in order to accelerate to the cherished 420 km / h, you need to use special key(as it was on the Veyron). The rear wing will extend, the suspension will become stiffer, the ground clearance will decrease, and the transmission will go into a special mode of operation. Without this key, the Chiron will be able to reach 380 km / h in a straight line, after which it will run into an electronic limiter.
What does he look like?
Externally, Chiron has not changed as radically as one might expect. The silhouette of the body remained almost unchanged - but head optics, made in the style of Alfa Romeo, has become fully LED. At the rear, the hypercar has also become more interesting - the shape of the massive acti-wing has changed, and the lights have become solid, as on futuristic concepts from the 1980s. By the way, the Bugatti design team includes a specialist from Russia - Alexander Selipanov has been working in the company since April last year as the chief designer for the exteriors of creative developments.The Chiron's interior is Veyron-style, but the main thing that catches the eye is the incredible speedometer. Namely, its marking up to 500 km per hour.
How much does it cost?
Each subsequent modification of the Bugatti hypercar rises in price by several new ones. Mercedes S class. The Veyron initially cost just over one million euros in Europe. Later, the Grand Sport version came out with the same 1200-horsepower unit. This Bugatti was already sold for 1.9 million euros. Chiron has risen in price by almost half a million - the company will accept an order for a novelty if the client is willing to pay 2.4 million euros. In total, Bugatti plans to produce 500 cars, and the first Chirons will be handed over to customers in September.What to expect from competitors?
The title of the fastest car in the world has been haunting competitors for several years. Another very fast car, the Gumper ApolloN, is due to debut in Geneva. The company calls the novelty "the fastest road car on the planet", however dynamic characteristics not yet named. The first Apollo model, developed with the support of engineers from the University of Munich, was released in 2006. Equipped with a 650-horsepower supercharged engine, the model accelerated to 100 km / h in 3.1 seconds, and the maximum speed barely exceeded 300 km per hour.

There are many criteria for measuring the performance of a car. For the fastest car in the world, the main criterion is speed. We present to you top 10 fastest cars in the world. Basically, these are sports models, as fast as they are expensive.
The price is $330,000. The chic body of the British supercar immediately attracts attention, it is made of of stainless steel and carbon fiber. With its 4.4-liter eight-cylinder engine with 650 hp. the car is capable of squeezing 362 km / h at the limit. However, they risked dispersing it only up to 346 km / h, since the driver felt very strong vibrations when traveling.
The maximum speed is 370 km/h. Market price- 1.27 million dollars. The next number in the ranking of the fastest auto goes beautiful Italian supercar made of carbon fiber. It is equipped with six liter engine V12 from Mercedes-AMG with 720 horsepower. Last year at the Geneva Motor Show, automaker Pagani showed the Huayra BC, which is lighter and more powerful than the standard Huayra. Her engine has been improved to 789 hp. while the total curb weight has been reduced to a measly 1199kg. This is comparable to the weight the newest Honda civic coupe, but Huayra is five times more powerful.
The maximum speed is 375 km / h. The cost is 1.22 million dollars. One of the few Danish hypercars is also one of the fastest passenger cars. Assembled in Zeeland, the Zenvo ST1 shows the height of Danish engineering prowess as the car combines a supercharged 6.8-litre V8 engine with a turbocharger, with 1,205 hp.
The ST1 is capable of reaching 375 km/h with a flawless road, but it's important to note that its top speed is electronically limited. Without digital nannies on board, the ST1 could be even faster. It was released in a 15-unit edition and you are unlikely to see it on Russian roads.
Sold for 970 thousand dollars. A car with a unique interior design. Its authors are Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens. driver's seat, and steering wheel in the McLaren F1 are located in the center of the cabin. At the end of the 20th century, McLaren F1 received the title of "the fastest car in the world" and held it until 2005. The iron heart of this British beauty is the V12 engine with 627 horsepower.
Develops speed up to 405 km / h. The cost is $545,568. This Swedish model has received many awards, including Top Gear Power Laps. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson rode the CCX and praised the car a lot, but didn't like the lack of downforce. Clarkson said that the lack of a rear spoiler was to blame. This was also later stated by Top Gear pilot Stig, who crashed the CCX and suggested that the car would be more stable with rear spoiler. In 2006, Koenigsegg introduced a variant of its supercar with an optional carbon fiber rear spoiler. However, with it, the speed is reduced to 370 km / h.
Forbes magazine included CCX in the list the most beautiful cars in the world.
The highest speed is 414 km / h. Buyers will cost 695 thousand dollars. This supercar, with its exterior similar to the Porsche 911, was created by the German tuning company 9ff. The design caused an ambiguous reaction among motorists: in the reviews there is both admiration for the beauty of the car, and criticism of the “ugly headlights” and too elongated body.
One of the main differences from the regular 911 is the location of the four-liter engine. twin turbo from 1120 hp All 911 models in Porsche stories(with the exception of the Porsche 911 GT1) the engine is at the rear, while the GT9 is mid-engined for better weight distribution.
Theoretically achievable speed is 430 km/h. Offered for 655 thousand dollars. American from Shelby SuperCars (SSC) was the king of the auto world of speed from 2007 to 2010, beating Super version Sport by Veyron. It even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007 with an astounding 412 km/h.
Helping to achieve this record was a 6.3-liter twin turbo V8 engine with 1287 horsepower. The driver does not have electronic assistants to help control this power. So the car promises either a delightful experience for those who have a lot of driving experience, or almost certain death for reckless drivers who have no such experience.
The declared speed is 431 km / h. When Volkswagen concern bought the Bugatti brand, he pursued one goal: to produce the fastest production car in the world. The original Veyron achieved this goal, but it was soon deposed. SSC Ultimate Aero. So Bugatti is back with Super Sport. It has an 8-liter Quad Turbo W16 engine with 1200 hp, as well as numerous aerodynamic changes designed to help win a few extra kilometers per hour.
