Eight of the 30 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ models have been delivered to the French hypercar manufacturer’s exclusive clientele. These deliveries take place after an extensive two-year testing and development program.
“The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ will forever remain a cornerstone of our marque’s illustrious history as it elevated automotive performance to levels that were once thought to be unreachable,” comments Christophe Piochon, Managing Director of Production and Logistics.
“It is the fastest hyper sports car Bugatti has ever made, and is a true testament to the engineering passion, technical expertise and relentless pursuit of performance our brand is synonymous with. We are excited to deliver the first eight units of this record-setting pioneer to our customers, and for them to experience the sheer sensation of speed behind the wheel.”
For those who need a refresher, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ employs a quad-turbocharged 8,0-litre W16 petrol engine. This delivers 1 176 kW to all four wheels which allows it to reach a top speed of 440 km/h.
Boosting performance to ever greater heights, Bugatti engineers developed a new thermal management system for the hypercar’s engine and gearbox, ensuring all remain cool even when traveling at the top speed.
Software refinements to the engine, gearbox, powertrain and turbochargers are all necessary additions to the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ which contribute towards the car’s overall performance and high-speed competency.
Visually and technically distinct from the standard Chiron, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+’s capacity for speed is defined by its aerodynamically optimised body which enables it to pass through the air with complete stability beyond 420 km/h. Most notably, the hyper sports car’s longtail rear end extends the body by 250 mm and allows the laminar flow to pass over the body for a longer period of time, therefore significantly reducing aerodynamic stall by more than 40 per cent.
The sold out Chiron Super Sport 300+ limited to just 30 vehicles are being built at Bugatti’s headquarters in Molsheim, France, each starting at a net price of €3,5 million (approximately R61 million).
