    Look! This is the new Dh12.6 million Bugatti hypercar

    Chiron Pur Sport puts emphasis on aerodynamics, weight reduction, and power distribution

    Everyone knows that it is hard to beat the Bugatti Chiron when it comes to straight line speed. In fact, it was late last year that the Chiron Super Sport 300+ broke all existing records to become the world’s fastest production car. Image Credit: Supplied

    Now, the hypersports car maker wants to make sure the Chiron’s acceleration prowess is matched by its corner-carving capabilities. With its flat front end, dynamic design and that massive rear spoiler, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport has been specifically developed to tackle corners and challenging country roads.

    “We spoke to customers and realised they wanted a vehicle that is geared even more towards agility and dynamic cornering. A hypersports car that yearns for country roads with as many bends as possible. An unadulterated, uncompromising driving machine. Consequently, the vehicle is called Chiron Pur Sport”, says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. Image Credit: Supplied

    Bugatti says the new aerodynamic configuration including the large diffuser and fixed rear spoiler generate plenty of downforce at the back end, helping to boost agility. Also, doing away with the hydraulic component of the otherwise automatically extending spoiler reduces the weight by 10kg. Image Credit: Supplied

    The wing mounts and diffuser form an aggressive and sporty X-shaped design at the back. “We focussed particularly on the agility of the Chiron Pur Sport. The vehicle generates more downforce at the rear axle while the large, front splitter, air inlets, wheel-arch vents featuring optimised air outlets and a reduced vehicle height strike a clean balance at the front”, Frank Heyl, Head of Exterior Design and Deputy Head Designer at Bugatti says.

    Apart from EB, Motorway, Handling and Sport drive modes, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport features an additional mode, Sport +, which delays the traction control system kicking in, aimed at more skilled drivers. Image Credit: Supplied

    The interior has been deliberately kept minimalist with large surfaces upholstered with Alcantara to save weight. All trim and controls are made exclusively of either black, anodised aluminium or titanium. Image Credit: Supplied

    The new transmission features an overall gear ratio that has been configured 15 per cent closer together, improving the power distribution of the 8.0-litre W16 engine. Image Credit: Supplied

    The massive powerplant generates 1,500 horsepower and 1,600Nm of torque, while the top speed has been reduced to 350kph. Image Credit: Supplied

    However, Bugatti has increased the maximum engine speed of the W16 unit by 200rpm to 6,900rpm, resulting in the Chiron Pur Sport accelerating from 60 to 120kph almost two seconds faster than the Chiron. Image Credit: Supplied

    The Pur Sport’s chassis setup features 65 per cent firmer springs at the front and 33 per cent firmer springs at the rear, along with adaptive damping geared towards better handling and added agility on winding roads. Image Credit: Supplied

    Bugatti claims the new chassis setup makes the Chiron Pur Sport steer more directly and accurately through bends and maintains the grip levels for a long time even at high speeds. Image Credit: Supplied

    Apparently the engineers have made sure there is more direct contact with the road surface by making the connection between chassis, suspension and body 130 per cent firmer at the front and 77 per cent firmer at the rear. Image Credit: Supplied

    Production of the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport will start in the second half of 2020. It will be limited to 60 units at three million euros (Dh12.6 million) before VAT. Image Credit: Supplied
