Did You Know - Bugatti Chiron

11 amazing details behind the Bugatti Chiron

A Four-Pack of Turbochargers

• One key to the Chiron’s absurd performance stats is its turbocharging system. There are four turbos like on the last car, but they're 69 percent larger than the Veyron’s.

Carbon Fiber Makes It Stiff (And Expensive)

• The Chiron’s carbon-fiber monocoque is extremely rigid for a road car, boasting 50,000 Nm per degree of torsional rigidity. That’s the stiffness of an LMP1 car, or about three times the stiffness of a traditional steel car. An especially cool fact we learned at Bugatti assembly: If you put all the single fibers from the Chiron’s carbon end-to-end, it would stretch nine times the distance from the Earth to the moon. 

Hyper Testing 

• Fun fact: Bugatti has 30 “pre-series” cars that are currently on the road right now. These are the ones that have been spotted testing in various places, and are also used for marketing to show the car to prospective buyers. They’ve logged in excess of 300,000 miles so far, and have gone through 1,000 tires.

Serious Wheels and Tires

• Anscheidt says there’s another reason the fronts are an inch smaller: “by law, the driver needs to be able to see four degrees down. The larger the wheel up front, the higher you sit, which you don’t want as a designer, or for performance.”
