INCREDIBLE AND WORLD CLASS TECH IN THE NEW BUGATTI CHIRON

Like its predecessor the Bugatti Veyron, the new Bugatti Chiron is a true engineering marvel. It’s a 1,478 horsepower monster capable of doing 261 mph a despite considerable bulk of 4,400 pounds. Here’s some of the goodness that makes the Chiron one of the most technologically impressive cars the world has ever seen. 

The Chiron is built on a fully carbon-fiber unibody, unlike the Veyron whose rear section was also steel. (Somehow, the Veyron is still over 100 pounds lighter). Bugatti says “If all the fibres used in the monocoque were laid out end to end, they would stretch nine times the distance between the earth and the moon,” and that the monocoque takes four whole weeks to make. .It is a mid-engine vehicle two seated sports car designed by Achim Anscheidt. It is said to worth a whooping $2.5 million at the current exchange rate. The engine in the Chiron looks a lot like the old one found in the Veyron. Again it displaces eight liters, looks like two narrow V8s bolted together to form a W16, and has four turbochargers. The new turbos are controlled by atwo-stage system, replacing the parallel system in the Veyron. This implies that that now, instead of four cylinders each feeding exhaust to a single turbo turbine, a bank of eight cylinders feed two turbos in series.
