Bugatti Chiron gallery: the numbers behind the £2.5 million hypercar

Three helicopters and 7.4 shots - find out the more surprising numbers involved with the world's fastest production car

You’ve heard of the Bugatti Chiron's headline 1479bhp figure, but these are the more surprising numbers behind the new hypercar.

185bhp per litre

The Bugatti Chiron’s quad-turbocharged W16 engine produces 185bhp per litre. With eight litres in total the final figure stands at 1479bhp. That’s 492bhp more than the Veyron.

591lb ft per tonne

The 1995kg Chiron has 1179lb ft of torque in total, or 591lb ft per tonne on offer. That dwarfs the output of even the Ferrari 488 GTB, which can only squeeze a relatively measly 211lb ft per tonne out of its twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V8.

2.5sec

Despite its near two-tonne weight, the Chiron can accelerate from 0-62mph in less than 2.5sec.

0.1sec

The all-wheel drive monster can then surge past 124mph just 4.0sec later before surpassing 186mph in less than 13.6sec – which is 0.1sec less than it takes a Nissan Note to reach 62mph.

261mph

The Chiron has a top speed of 261mph, which is 7mph faster than the Veyron’s terminal velocity and 11mph faster than the take-off speed of the Concorde.

7.4 shots

The Chiron can drink 7.4 single shot glasses of petrol per second. For those who prefer the overall figure, that means it can empty its 100-litre tank in nine minutes when driving flat out.

516g/km

If you’re looking for a fuel-sipping environmentally friendly car, you’ve come to exactly the wrong place. Official CO2 emissions are measured at a whopping 516g/km and claimed fuel economy is just 12.5mpg.

3800G

Each gramme of rubber in the Chiron’s tyres can withstand a centrifugal force of 3800g, which is more than the tyres of a Formula 1 car can manage.

38000rpm

New turbochargers in the Chiron are operated in a two-stage process; during step off just two function initially, with the remaining two joining in to boost performance when the engine speed rises above 3800rpm.

Three helicopters

The average Bugatti Chiron owner also has 64 other cars, three helicopters, three jets and a yacht. They drive their Chiron an average of 1550 miles a year.

30 prototypes

In the development process, 310,500 miles were racked up in 30 test cars to hone the Chiron.

Here's The Bugatti Chiron's Tacked-On American-Market Bumper Lumps

Bugatti is taking part in an old and beautiful tradition for European supercars, where the versions that get sold in the United States get adorned with massive black chunks of rubber. This has been happening since the mid 1970s, and it’s touching to see the practice continuing to this day. We finally got to inspect the Chiron’s U.S.-only bumper tumors in person, and it’s humbling.

Interestingly, it’s not U.S. federal regulations that are demanding these massive chunks of rubber—it’s for insurance reasons, at least according to a Bugatti representative our own Raphael Orlove spoke with at the Bugatti stand at the New York Auto Show. They need low-speed bumper protection, which means the big rubber lumps. As a manufacturer, they can’t remove them. The owners are another story.

The two blocks look sort of like huge ice cream sandwiches covered in the blackest chocolate coating known to man, and stick out from the back of the car a good six inches or so. It looks like they’d make decent seats, in case you decide to take your Chiron tailgating.

Also notable are the very visible screws used to affix the rubber oblongs to the car, suggesting that Bugatti is sort of giving a silent nod to owners to go ahead and have your valet unscrew those unsightly things and throw them into the exotic animal enclosure. I’m sure the albino gibbons will enjoy playing with those.
