Bugatti Chiron - Bugatti luxury car, he's at the wheel, carved on a big blue button with the word: ENGINE. Of course, we can develop poetically on the connection of modern technology to the ancient human desires for futility and wealth. Or how the 1,500-horsepower Chiron metaphorically represents the Palace of Versailles with a 700-room exhaust pipe, a $ 3 million mark that marks the recruitment of a painter who paints for four years God and Adam and the angels and saints in the chapel. In other words, we can continue to talk about the extraordinary and unbridled excitement in the service of crazy anesthesia, among the nobles involved in it and among the peasants who rejoice in their reflected glory.
All Ate Up with Motor
But the new 261 mph bug is really overkill with all the engines. The old burning mid fire on 16 ovens that exploded into a terrific fire by quad-turbo fans. Press the ENGINE button and the 8-liter W-16 lights, not with Italian supercar skins - Bugatti notes that he stands on the bad boys type of theater - but with the guy idle Burle idle 650-rpm. Quoting Theodore Roosevelt: "Talk calmly and bring an atomic bomb out of a suitcase."
Being very cynical - because this is the last refuge for those plebeians who can afford to buy Chiron now and never -, this car is a must. This is the beginning of the idea of the last decade to revive the active automotive boutique with the Moonshot engineering project intended to generate surprises and admiration. The 1001-hp Veyron 16.4 is a damaged sound barrier, the Everest Summit, a four mile mile. It's a car that goes 1 mph faster than Peugeot P88 - the fastest racing car on Mulsanne street - just because. The benchmarks were all exceeded, the exaggerations were all exceeded. It seems pointless to raise the bar again with another two-seat engine coupe like Superman in the CrossFit class, hoping to increase the gap for fast-moving bullets.
Far from that, the concept may not have been fully developed. The Veyron could be greatly improved over the past 10 years, 450-cars slow down production runs, but its handling never rises above a lightning fast Lexus. Unlike the Lexus, it's loud and not hard inside, but the loud tires and injector sounds and accessories are buzzing and the bazooka sucks big behind your head. And her slightly dashing hairstyle might be too little for Moulin Rouge and not enough for Yves Montand with a stinging cigarette and squint. That's a great thing, Veyron, but not a sequel. Surprises and admiration are easily damaged and engineers always need new challenges.
More than a few snacks of octopus and other Portuguese food at a bistro in Lisbon near Tagus, I am sure that Chiron is indeed a worthy challenge. First of all, Jachin Schwalbe, head of chassis development, is only thinking about redesigning the Veyron and increasing the drive. But it soon became clear to all that the 1,200 hp in the hottest Veyrons - the Super Sport and the Grand Sport Vitesse - takes more than just a big blow to make the wheel still a 1500 wheel at Chiron. At some point, almost every part of the number changes on the machine. And on a seven-speed gearbox. And in two clutches. And wheels, tires, brakes and self-adjusting suspension. And body, aerodynamic and interior devices. Even the Bugatti Grill Badge hand-made black silver gets a new look.
Come open 'Er Up
The next morning, I was with the winner of Le Mans and the veteran sports prototype Andy Wallace to travel through the rural hills of Portugal. Once, I have a personal record of 204 kilometers per hour at the Veyron Super Sport prepared in Spain, but I warn that Portugal with the Radar and Fuzz biker who wants to follow you to an ATM at a nearby location, the Frange collection. However, Wallace and I will see the speed shown from 197 miles per hour before sunset and, fortunately, not a cop.
Relatively few who drive a Veyron will soon realize that Chiron is calmer inside and has a smoother ride. The strange tire Michelin PAX which has five digits and replaced when changing the tire on the third tire changed with the new wheel lost (please with the customer - even rich is a pervert has a limit), by more than 2s classic Michelin Bugatti Pilot Sport Cup, front size 285 / 30R-20 and 355 / 25R-21 rear. From this powerful drum, you can hear less street noise and less unpleasant engine noise. You hear Husky come out of a large titanium exhaust, with no artificial reinforcement and a fast Beckenriff supercharged air at a speed measured by flashes per second.
In Europe, Bugatti cites acceleration rates in zero to 62 mph and says it's "less than 2.5 seconds", which is good because the first Veyron we tested at 2.5 km / h was achieved. Schwalbe and colleagues point out that they depend almost exclusively on traction for these torque values. And this is not the same world in which the Veyron debuted. Today, the usual Porsche 911 turbos shoots 2.6 practically, and the Tesla P100D in silly mode is even faster.
So even if it's still reminiscent of a 4-wheel-drive sport bike, the Chiron acceleration on the horizon is not surprising like the Veyron of its day. At least not from zero to 60. From 60 to, for example, 180 mph, which takes about 10 seconds, the car seems to accelerate, flatten the lungs and cause the fun and anxiety center of the brain code to go in red at the same time.
You can experience this electrifying sensation over and over again by using a power-on control, which is activated by pressing a large button just below the airbag on the steering wheel and applying a strong and simultaneous pressure on the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Act fast, however, as you only have three seconds to release the brake or LC off. The torque on all four wheels is so large that even on dry asphalt, the car vibrates a little when taken in hand. After about 50 feet, it is completely hung and the landscape becomes more shallow and unclear.
Chiron is repaired in many other ways. The accelerator, capable of generating 1180 lb-ft of torque, reacts with the most probable delay, meaning that on the highway you will often pass so fast that you will have several tens of car lengths to bring you back shooting in your way. If one remembers a walk with Chiron, the tail of the kite will be a large area.
Steering life and breathing, the ratio has changed from 18.0: 1 in Veyron to 16.4: 1 and shelves communicate with palms. The chassis sniffs a bit, sometimes following camber changes and feels more organic overall. A pretty silly cornering speed decision is an assumption like that in the Veyron; At Chiron, it's second nature, even if its speed is ridiculous. And if you have to stop all these movements, AP Racing calipers and Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors show a complicated development because of their enormous size.
Art of art
The greatest achievement of Louis Chiron is probably the oldest driver (55 years old) who participated in the Grand Prix. The Big C, which defines Chiron's side profile, and comb spine cables and fancy LED accent lighting separating the cockpit, is a tribute to his name in a more expansive manner. Ettore Bugatti has introduced E on his personal image Signature or Type 57SC Atlantic. The company leaves you to decide, but Chiron is more ambitious overall, the horseshoe grill pushes the wind to create a slimmer and slightly sharper profile. Eight LED lights, lights into consecutive at the beginning, and the rear lights 82 are riveted LED elements, which are positioned in a thin direction, which has been worked out from an aluminum block of 441 pounds.
As in the Veyron, the cockpit emits a clever minimalist, but Chiron chases it further. The central pile looks like four fingers of a metal ocean anemone whose end is a digital display that tells you everything from the oil temperature to the maximum speed achieved and the power calculated on the current trip.
Design director Etienne Salome, a Parisian is a very detailed blue silk, Bugatti as Bugatti, says he does not want any TFT dashboard, which is just a black hole when the car dies. "If a Chiron in 50 years goes to Pebble Beach and sees the kids at the window, I want them to see something," he said, referring to the large analog speedometer amid two color screens that when cars and travel data (it says that we have flat 20 mpg) plus navigation map. No plastic in the cockpit, we were told. If it looks like metal, it is metal. If it looks like a skin, this is one of 16 skins that make up Chiron. One carat diamond supports the speaker's diaphragm in four tweeter.
In addition to flat channels with strategically placed ventilation ducts, as well as forward ducts and fins systems, both are high pressure areas in the wheels for cooling Brake discs and low-pressure air curtains on the front wheels to draw hot air formed, there are two moving aerodynamic elements. The front front rocker's front wheel adjusts to the speed of the car to increase the support power, and the large wings on the back are mounted on stage and cover the rear view very well, in peak speed mode of 3 degrees or 49 degrees in the air. Braking position.
If you rotate Chiron, the kite does a little dance holding, like a puppy that is not ready to go home, it goes down bit by bit into the body. The engineer told me that this slow floating testimony is a warning to prevent people looking to destroy the wing fingers, which are so thick that it produces 772 pounds of break style at 236 mph.
Almost certainly the latest supercar will give way to super hybrids and super electricity. Chiron's main warehouse on Pagani or Koenigsegg's other art objects comes from the Volkswagen group, which was built every day last year with an average car of 28,176 cars. So, this is an art that may begin with a time of 20 degrees. Imagine Michelangelo or Ettore Bugatti, which has a 3D computer model, a wind tunnel, and hundreds of talented craftsmen. Will the results be so different?
