What a car! Bugatti reveals R55.5-million Chiron Pur Sport

The Bugatti Chiron is one of the fastest production cars ever made, but this was not enough as the automaker sought to make the car even better. And faster.

The changes the Pur Sport boasts over the standard Chiron includes a rear spoiler that stretches 1.90m. This, says Bugatti, is to generate greater downforce and improve aerodynamics.

Widened air-inlets help improve cooling, while the front splitter is used to make the car both imposing and more dynamically apt.2020 bugatti chiron pur sport

Inside, Bugatti deliberately made the interior sporty and raw. The oversized surfaces are decked in Alcantara to save weight. This material has also been used on the steering wheel and seats.

All trim and controls are made exclusively of either black, anodised aluminium or titanium, says Bugatti.

A lot of horses

Bugatti says that the gearbox’s gear ratio has been configured 15% closer together to better the channeling of the massive engine’s power. The 8.0-litre W16 engine develops 1120kW (1500HP) and 1600Nm, which allows the car to go from 0 – 100km/h in under two seconds. Should you be brave enough to breach 350km/h, Bugatti says the car will then release all of its power.
