1,500-hp Chiron will try to break Veyron Super Sport's 268-mph record ,
There wouldn't be much of a point to the new Bugatti Chiron if it wasn't faster than the Veyron. Autocar reports that the Franco-German marque will soon find out just how fast the Veyron's successor will be when it attempts to break its 268-mph land speed record.
The new Chiron certainly has extra power on its side with 1,500 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque on tap from its redesigned 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine, compared to the Veyron Super Sport's 1,183 hp and 1,106 lb-ft output from an earlier version. In terms of official top speed, the Chiron is just 4 mph faster on paper than the Veyron; 261 mph compared to the Veyron Super Sport's 257 mph, but running flat-out with the speed limiter removed will produce a different figure. Based on the automaker's own computer data, the Chiron should be able to hit 288 mph under ideal conditions.
