Bugatti Chiron prototype’s video surfaces online.

A new video of the exposed Bugatti Chiron prototypes has surfaced online, this time spotted testing along with a Bugatti Veyron SuperSport WRE, its distant cousins: the Porsche 918 Spyder and Lamborghini Huracan, as well as a BMW i8. It’s unclear if the supercars were brought for benchmark testing or simply following the Chiron prototypes.

Bugatti had set the benchmark with the Veyron and now they are all set to better that. The Chiron will be powered by an 8.0liter W16 engine which is expected to produce 1500hp and 1500nm of torque. This will be mated to a 7-speed double clutch gearbox and will power all the four wheels. Leaked figures suggest that the Chiron will be capable of sprinting 0-100km/h in 2.3 seconds and have a top speed of 500kms/h!!

The company has teased the Chiron publicly in their season’s greeting card, which outlines the design of the upcoming hypercar. As seen in spyshots and renders, the Chiron will feature a more angular and aggressive design that draws heavy inspiration from the Bugatti Vision GT.

Given that Bugatti is a niche manufacturer focusing on exclusivity and bespoke touches, the Bugatti Chiron will be limited to 500 copies and is rumoured to be priced from EUR 2.5 million. It is confirmed to debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show in March.
