New world speed record by Bugatti

Ugly! Don’t care how fast it goes. I’ll take 10 Hellcats.
 
Smooth bastard too... ****, you would be doing over 100mph before you got out of 2rd gear..
 
The concentration required to pull that off must be INTENSE and for a prolonged period of time, no less.
You so much as twitch, you die...
Wonder what tires are capable of that speed?

Michelin played an integral role in the Chiron's top speed run. The tiremaker created special Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, according to Car and Driver, that are capable of rotating up to 4,100 times per minute. The tires were even X-rayed before being fitted to the Chiron to make sure no imperfections were present.

I would have expected no less, thanks.
I run nothing but Michelins on all my other vehicles (except the GTX). IMO nothing can touch them.

I actually don't mind that they've retained the Bugatti style grill, it's part of the heritage.

But you're right of course, ten Hellcats would be far cheaper to buy than one of these! You'd still have a couple million in change after that deal. But one Chiron has more power than two hellcats together...

Wasn’t Jessi .... trying to go over 500 mph when she was killed last week??

Yes but she wasn't driving her Chiron at the time. (She had one). As for tires, her jet car ran aluminum wheels with no rubber tread, like most land speed record setting vehicles of that kind.
 
Although the Bugatti is quite impressive, it is kinda ugly as stated. I'd like to see it compared to something like a modified Chrysler ME412 or even a Dodge Tomahawk (which I know were not production). Being a Mopar guy through & through, I feel with the kind of money that cars like this cost, Ferrari, McLaren and such; the fine folks at Mopar could beat them for less money! Heck, if you can afford a car like that then you can afford the deluxe accommodations for your pit crew to travel with you as well, LOL. :moparsmiley:

Man, that's flat out fast! Thanks for sharing.
 
freaken' fast as hell

IMHFO it's freaken' Fugly as hell too

but it's still pretty cool, cracking the 300mph barrier

just not my style of car :usflag:

:thankyou: for sharing
 
Actually, I love the look of the *** end of the thing.
Only thing throws me off on the nose are those goofy headlights.

I wish Ma Mopar had built the prototype 2-door Charger a few years ago. It had
some serious lines to it, too.
 
Maybe is an ugly car ( not to me ) but ... we ALL here are mechanily inclined, and for me, that W 16 is truly a mechanical wonder and a true work of art of engendering.
