"The Chiron may represent the absolute peak of performance of the internal-combustion engine, especially when you consider the astounding engineering feats that have gone into its construction. The Chiron has four turbos, ten radiators; it can achieve an electronically-limited top speed of 261 mph, and can consume its 26.4 gallon fuel tank in less than seven minutes. Sure, the Chiron can launch from 100-200 mph with what feels like the accelerating force of a ballistic missile, but this Bugatti hypercar is also renowned for outstanding handling, thanks in part to the all-new carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. There are many more statistics to consider, but the best way to experience this milestone in automotive engineering is to drive it."—Official description[1]
The 2018 Bugatti Chiron is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive hypercar by Bugatti.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 7 as part of the Dell Gaming Car Pack and all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
Named after Monegasque driver Louis Chiron, the Bugatti Chiron is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It gets its styling cues from the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept car.
Engine and drivetrain[]
Similar in concept to the Veyron, its drive consists of a Haldex all-wheel drive system, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an eight liter quad-turbocharged engine that produces 1479 hp (1103 kW) and 1180 ft·lb (1600 N·m) of torque starting from 2000 rpm.
Platform[]
As with the Veyron Super Sport, the high-performance variant of the Veyron, the Chiron has a carbon fiber body, but is based on a new carbon fiber monocoque that has a stiffness comparable to LMP1 cars. Weighing 4398 lb (1995 kg), it is lighter by 72 lb (33 kg) than the Veyron 16.4 but still heavier than most hypercars including the Veyron Super Sport itself.
Its rear wing deploys at 60 mph (97 km/h) and slightly lowers at speeds above 140 mph (225 km/h) to increase handling. It also folds up under heavy braking to improve braking performance.
World record[]
In a world record-setting test, the Chiron reached 249 mph (400 km/h) in 32.6 seconds, after which it braked to a stop 9.4 seconds later, thus setting a world record for 0 to 249 to 0 mph (0 to 400 to 0 km/h), done in 42 seconds.[2] Its record was beaten by the Koenigsegg Agera RS in October 2017 that completed the same run in 36.44 seconds.[3]
For the 2019 production year, after ironing out issues and finally having a set of proper 300+ mph rated tires from Michelin, Bugatti introduced a 300+ MPH capable version of the Chiron for sale, making it simultaneously the worlds first road legal car to reach such speeds and the fastest road legal car in the world as of November of 2019.
Performance[]
The Chiron is capable of 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.4 seconds, 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 4.9 seconds and tops out at around 269 mph (433 km/h), which is higher than its real life limited top speed of 261 mph (420 km/h). Therefore straight-line performance is similar to that of the Veyron Super Sport, although the Chiron has slightly quicker acceleration and narrowly beats its top speed by up to 2 mph (3 km/h).
Despite being 354 lb (161 kg)[4] heavier than the Veyron Super Sport, the Chiron handles largely the same as the Veyron Super Sport. In addition, as the Chiron's center differential has a value of 86%, which makes it strongly biased towards the rear, coupled with its extremely high power output of 1479 hp (1103 kW), it actually experiences minor to moderate wheelspin off the line, requiring more caution than with other AWD cars.
