BUGATTI CHIRON

Creating a follow-up to the world-eatingVeyron is surely a colossal task, but Bugatti thinks it has the right stuff with the upcoming 2018 Bugatti Chiron. Official details are sparse, but rumors around this superlative-laden hypercars are starting to rise to the surface, with reports revealing that, compared to the Veyron, the Chiron will be lighter, more powerful, faster, and come packed with new tech like electrically driven turbochargers and all-wheel torqueUnderstandably, Bugatti will bring over a good deal of Veyron when it goes about creating the Chiron. The body, for example, will utilize the Veyron’s existing carbon-fiber structure. However, in a recent post, the publication Automobile says over “90 percent of the parts will be new or altered to enhance rigidity and keep down the Chiron’s curb weight.”

Speaking of carryovers, the Veyron’s outrageous 8.0-liter, quad-turbo, W-16 engine will once again see use in the Chiron, but this time around, it’ll pump out 1,500 horsepower and 1,100 pound-feet of torque, blessing the car with a low 2-second 0-to-60 time and a top speed in excess of 280 mph. Please excuse the Keanu Reeves impersonation, but "Woah."
To help create stratospheric figures like that, two of the four turbos will be electrically driven. Assisting handling and grip is AWD and an advanced torque vectoring system, while a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission routes the power. The interior will be reportedly roomier than the Veyron’s cabin, with better visibility and an improved driving position.

The Chiron is expected to see the light of day sometime next year. Anyone looking to call one his own should expect an outlay of around $2.4 million.
