Ziljoen hp and more Nm’s than the continent added together.
In anticipation of the official unveiling later today will take place, we have already a zwikkie figures and a stack of photos for you. Nice that buzz boost, VAG has the trick perfectly in your fingers. A part of the specs was already long and widely known, see it as a partial refresher.
Well, a quad-turbo 7.993 cc W16, with Bugatti for the first time, uses “2-stage turbocharging”. Presumably this has something to do with more power and torque in a lower rev range or with electric turbo’s, tonight we will know for sure. The hp is at 1,500 units (@ 6.700 rpm) and max torque is 1,600 Nm between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm. The transmission is still a very 7-speed DCT. VAG calls it ‘t a DSG if true the technique of private house, but the bucket is made by the British Ricardo.
500 km/h on the speedometer, you see it right!
All that delivers a top speed of 420 km/h (limited), but according to the grapevine is 450 km/h possible. Similar to the different top speeds of the Veyron. Who last went by the way of 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, the Chiron does it in 2.3 seconds. Ensure that your nose is in the right direction, otherwise you’d the rotation of the earth, sometimes in can skew. Further, there is reportedly a hybrid version in addition to the ordinary gasoline-Chiron remains in the circulation, as yet, limited to 450 pieces. We still know how to do that with the Veyron went…
The photos: not super surprising, because we had that Gran Turismo case already several times over. However, we must honestly admit that VAG our expectations. That half-moon-like case on the flanks is reflected in the interior. Nice touch! And that back is a lot thicker than that of the Veyron.
Future loterijwinnaars, yell it out! This ‘m be for, say, 2 million?
UPDATE: nicer, better pictures of the Chiron can be found HERE.
