What is the fastest Bugatti in the world. Bugatti Chiron: what you need to know about the fastest supercar

Let's compare two generations of amazing cars.

Style: Bugatti Chiron vs Bugatti Veyron

Considering that the predecessor was one of the most advanced production cars in the world, there is no doubt that the new model is something evolutionarily new.

Despite the fact that the Veyron was released 17 years ago, its exterior style still looks graceful and graceful. Nevertheless, of course, against the background of the Bugatti Chiron, the last generation of the supercar does not look so modern anymore.

Interior: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron

The salon can be described as a simple combination of conservatism and luxury. But the interior design is presented on a completely different level. The new car has beautiful trim details everywhere, from the stunning leather seats to the incredibly beautiful carbon fiber steering wheel.

But most of all, the renewed dashboardwhich has a speedometer on which it is installed maximum speed at 500 km / h.

Driving: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron

The Chiron is equipped with 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear of the car. The width of the rear tires is staggering with its dimensions - 355 mm. Combined with all-wheel drive and new rubber new any the driver behind the wheel of a Bugatti Chiron supercar will feel more confident on the road than in Bugatti Veyron.

The chassis used carbon materials. The new supercar has increased the number of carbon components, which allows for a better power-to-weight ratio.

Also, the more streamlined design of the Bugatti Chiron allowed engineers to improve the aerodynamic performance of the car.

The new sports car is equipped with huge carbon ceramic brake discs... Due to the costly brake system, weighing 1.995 kg from a speed of 100 km / h can come to a complete stop in a record amount of time. for instance braking distances Chiron could be 31.3 meters. For example, the Bugatti Veyron had a braking distance of about 55 meters.

Engine: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron

(two combined 8.0 liter engine). Of course, one cannot say unequivocally that these are identical engines. For example, the engine in the Bugatti Chiron received new, more efficient turbines, a new crankshaft, and a new exhaust system made of titanium, which made it possible to reduce the rate of exhaust gases from the engine.

All changes in power unit allowed engineers to achieve incredible power from the motor: and 1600 Nm (max. torque).

The engine is paired with a seven-speed gearbox with double clutch... By the way, this is the only 7-speed dual-clutch transmission in the world, which is installed on a production car paired with such a powerful engine.

According to the press service of Bugatti, the Chiron supercar accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 2.5 seconds. The maximum speed of the car (declared by the automaker) is 420 km / h. Although, as we have already noted, for some reason, there is a mark on the speedometer at 500 km / h.

But this is due to the fact that 420 km / h is a speed mark, above which it will not allow to accelerate electronic lock speed.

Performance: Bugatti Chiron vs Bugatti Veyron

Overclocking	Bugatti Chiron	Bugatti Veyron
0-100 km / h	Less than 2.5 sec	2.5 sec
0-200 km / h	6.5 sec	7.3 sec
0-300 km / h	13.6 sec	16.7 sec
Max. speed	420 km / h (limited)	407 km / h

The Bugatti Veyron hypercar eleven years ago set several records at once among cars intended for driving on public roads. And the main goal of the creators of the new coupe under the name Chiron was to update all the records of its predecessor. And they succeeded!

The Chiron cannot be considered a completely new model - the Veyron was taken as a basis, although almost all components and elements have undergone modernization. For example, the unique eight-liter W16 engine has been completely redesigned - it has more efficient turbochargers (there are, as before, four of them), new system intake, lightweight crankshaft, and many parts are made of titanium and carbon fiber. As a result, the output increased from 1200 hp. and 1500 Nm from the previous model Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse up to 1500 hp. and 1600 Nm.

The transmission with a seven-speed preselective "robot" and permanent all-wheel drive has not fundamentally changed, although the clutches have become larger and more durable. Suspension - with electronically controlled shock absorbers. At the heart of the coupe, as before, is a carbon fiber monocoque, but its structure has been changed, and in terms of torsional rigidity it is comparable to racing prototypes of the LMP1 class: 50 thousand Nm / deg! But if the base Veyron weighed 1888 kg in curb condition, then the Chiron put on weight up to 1995 kg.

This is partly why the acceleration time to 100 km / h remained the same - 2.5 s, although when it comes to such small values, the coefficient of adhesion of the tires to the road plays an equally important role. But the Chiron takes a threshold of 200 km / h in 6.5 s - 0.8 s faster than the Veyron. And acceleration to 300 km / h takes 13.6 s instead of 16.7 s. The maximum speed is 420 km / h, while the Veyron reached 407 km / h, and the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse - 410 km / h. And for the set of "maximum speed", as before, you need to activate a special key with a separate key. speed mode, in which the hydraulic spring mounts will reduce the ground clearance to a minimum, the aerodynamic valves in the front bumper will open, and the rear wing will stand almost horizontally. Without this key, you can dial "only" 380 km / h.

And here is an equally important fact: Russian designer Alexander Selipanov worked on the appearance of the new Bugatti. The coupe still has a horseshoe-shaped radiator grille and dashing arcs on the sidewalls. The cabin has a minimum of keys and two screens in the instrument cluster, and the speedometer is marked up to 500 km / h - just in case.

The Bugatti Chiron hypercar production will begin in September. The price is also a record one: if the Veyron initially cost 1.1 million euros, and the latest version of the Grand Sport Vitesse - almost two million, then they will ask for at least 2.4 million for the new model! Veyron was released in the amount of 450 copies, but last cars found buyers with difficulty, and then only due to the fact that they were presented as limited special equipment. The circulation of the new model is 500 copies, and a third of them have already been prepaid.

Everyone loves speed. Some are more, some are less. And everyone at least once dreamed of riding with a breeze in a luxury car on an empty road.

The greatest impression is made by driving the best car. Most cannot afford such, so they only have to study the properties, characteristics and photos of unsurpassed iron horses... Which car is faster than the others? Consider the top 10 coolest and fastest sports cars.

10.Noble M600 - maximum speed 362 km / h

The Noble M600 is manufactured in the UK. This supercar has been produced since 2010. The car is capable of speeds up to 362 km / h. Other advantages include spectacular appearance... The body of the car is made of stainless steel and carbon fiber. The car has been tested on Top Gear and has been highly praised by Jeremy Clarkson. In the American version of the show, however, the driver felt heavy overload at 346 km / h. The disadvantages of the car include its price: 330 thousand dollars.

9.Pagani Huayra - 370 km / h

Italian beauty Pagani Huayra - exclusive car... It develops a speed of up to 370 km / h and costs $ 1.27 million. This car has been produced since 2011, and it has already managed to "light up" in the cinema: in the film "Transformers: Age of Extermination" Pagani Huayra, so to speak, played the Decepticon Stinger. The editors of the site notes that the name Huayra in translation from the Quechua language means "wind", and it is not surprising.

8. Zenvo ST1 - 375 km / h

The Pagani Huayra bypasses the Danish-made Zenvo ST1 by little. This unique sports hypercar is packed with electronics and is priced accordingly: $ 1.22 million. It is important that for a really good speed Zenvo ST1 needs an ideal track (for Russia, we note, this is inaccessible).

7. McLaren F1 - 386 km / h

This McLaren model costs just under a million dollars and held the title of the fastest car in the world until 2005. However, competitors are not asleep, and now this model takes only seventh place in terms of speed. A total of 106 cars of this model were produced. One of the owners of the luxurious toy is the British comedian Rowan Atkinson, known to viewers for his role as Mr. Bean.

6. Koenigsegg CCX - 405 km / h

The Swedish "horse" Koenigsegg CCX is recognized by the most discerning experts, and it is not surprising: in 2010, discontinued, this model was relatively inexpensive (for a supercar) and very fast. Its cost is about half a million dollars. Even before the start of sales, the car was handed over to Top Gear for testing, and the show team praised it very much, noting some shortcomings like the lack of a rear spoiler. Interestingly, the manufacturers took into account the comments and soon provided a new, improved version.

5.9ffGT9-R - 414 km / h

The German sports car 9ffGT9-R develops good speed, is relatively inexpensive (695 thousand dollars) and rightfully occupies the fifth place in the ranking of the most fast cars in the world.

4. SSC Ultimate Aero - 430 km / h

Authentic american supercar The SSC Ultimate Aero was produced from 2006 to 2013, and was considered the fastest in the world until 2010. Buyers were ready to shell out 655 thousand dollars for it - the car was even listed as a speed record holder in the Guinness Book of Records. Of the obvious disadvantages is the lack of electronic control promises certain death to an inexperienced driver.

3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 431 km / h

It was this Bugatti model that in 2010 pushed the SSC Ultimate Aero off the pedestal. This car is capable of speeds of 431 km / h, and its cost is almost two and a half million dollars. Despite the high cost, the car is in great demand - especially among celebrities. So, according to the ubiquitous tabloid reporters, Jay Z and Beyoncé presented the Bugatti Veyron to the son of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

2. Hennessey Venom GT - 435 km / h

This is the second fastest car in the world, but it costs exactly a million dollars (the editors of vsevsё.rf believe that this is not the best way to spend a million, but it's a matter of taste). These cars are made in Texas, tested at the Kennedy Space Center, and the quality is appropriate: the two-door sports car is packed in a carbon fiber body and equipped with a seven-liter engine in 1244. horse power turbocharged.

Since childhood, the most fascinating and impressive indicator of a car is its maximum speed. Once upon a time, cars hit the limit of 160 km / h, then - 200, 300 ... As a result, the technical genius easily brought this limit to 430 km / h and even higher. Who is the fastest today? It turns out to be difficult to answer this question, because there are at least two contenders for the crown.

What is the name of the fastest road car in 2017-2018

The current record holder is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. This is one of the most expensive (from $ 2.5 million) and luxurious cars of our time. And its pedigree confirms that many victories of the world famous racers of the last century are hidden in the DNA of this beast. After the acquisition of the French company Bugatti concern Volkswagen AG the Germans set out to take revenge on the British and Italians, setting a new speed record among road cars... As a result, the goal was achieved, and the authoritative BBC TV show Top Gear recognized the hypercar “ the best car century ".

The official test drive to determine the maximum speed of this coupe was made on July 4, 2010, at the Volkswagen test site in Germany. Test pilot Pierre-Henri Rafanel was driving. According to the regulations of the Guinness Book of Records, the car had to travel the distance first in one side of the track, then in the other. The average indicator of "maximum speed" was taken into account.

The first dash, from south to north, showed figures at 266 mph. IN reverse side "Bugatti" accelerated to the speedometer mark at 270 miles. As a result of calculations, the average maximum speed (266 + 270/2) was 268 miles or 431.072 kilometers per hour. It is worth noting that the developers of the model were amazed at this good result, because they counted in best case at 425 km / h. The result was officially recorded.

Under the body panels of the French giant hides a highly technical gasoline unit Bugatti 16.4. It has a unique W-shaped design and has 16 cylinders. Engineers were able to squeeze out a herd of 1,200 "horses" from a working volume of 8 liters.

Peak torque reaches 1,500 Nm and is distributed along the axles by the system all-wheel drive and a 7-speed "robot" with a double clutch of the DSG family. The Veyron exchanges the second hundred of the speedometer display already 2.5 seconds after the start. And all this in first gear.

In the normal state, the car can please the owner with acceleration "only" up to 375 km / h. To approach the limit of the car's capabilities, you will need to unlock the so-called "high-speed" mode with a special key. In this case ground clearance will decrease to 65 mm, under the bottom of the "Frenchman" aerodynamic elements will be deployed in a special way, thereby reducing the frontal resistance of the wheels. There will also be a change in the calibration of the rotation of the retractable wing in the stern (this element rises when braking is required by high speeds and getting more downforce on the rear axle). According to the factory documentation, "civilian" versions of the "Wayron" (with the exception of certain special series) do not accelerate faster than 408.9 km / h, since the electronic limiter is turned on by default.

What is the fastest car in the world: American version

Soon after the triumph of the French-German project Bugatti, enthusiasts on the North American continent asked themselves the question of the maximum "maximum speed" for a production car. Within the walls of a small company Hennessey, work began to create a competitor to the current record holder. The car was named Hennessey Venom GT and was based on the chassis and body of the well-known sports car Lotus Elise. After a major modification, the 7-liter V8 bi-turbo was able to produce 1244 hp, which is 44 "horses" more than the "Wayron". In addition, the "American" turned out to be noticeably lighter than the all-wheel drive projectile, which could tip the scales in his favor. Acceleration from zero to hundred was 2.7 s.

D-Day was scheduled for February 14, 2014. They were going to set the record on the 5 km long runway of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. To track the speed of "Venom" was attracted satellite system GPS Racelogic Vblox, various high-precision instruments were also involved. According to the results of the race, the experts found that before the car began to brake before the end of the track, the instruments recorded the figures at 270 miles per hour, that is, 434 km / h.

But the representatives of the Guinness Book of Records refused to confirm the fact of setting a new record, since the race did not comply with the rules for such measurements. As in the case of Bugatti, the average is taken into account, which could not be deducted. At the same time, the leadership of the space center refused to provide the Hennessey team with a track for further testing. According to John Hennessy himself, from people from NASA, even for a single arrival, he had to beg for a run for almost two years. As a result, the current record was not broken, although american car actually surpassed the result of his French rival.

Bugatti Veyron "scam"

In April 2014, the expert commission of the Guinness Book of Records suddenly announced that the Veyron's record was unlawfully recorded, since the car was “not in the serial version”. The British publication Driving requested an investigation into this fact. As a result, it was found that during the race, the test pilot was driving the hypercar with the speed limiter off, which ordinary buyers of this vehicle cannot do on their own.

The entry in the Book has been cleared. But after a few days, after an even more thorough examination and taking into account Bugatti's arguments, the commission apologized for the premature verdict. As a result, the experts considered, "changing the speed limiter does not change the design of the car or the performance of its engine." The speed championship crown was returned to Molsheim, where it is still formally held.

In conclusion, it is worth emphasizing that both leaders of the speed ratings promise to present in 2016-2017. qualitatively new releases, which, as they assure, will be much more powerful and dynamic not only than their predecessors, but also possible competitors.
