With the Bugatti Chiron Sport, Bugatti Automobiles SAS is probably showing the most expensive series vehicle on display at the Geneva Motor Show 2018. In the color and equipment option shown in Geneva, the Bugatti Chiron Sport costs 2,98 million euros net.
A handsome sum for the extraordinary super sports car from Molsheim. With the same performance of 1.500 hp, the French luxury car brand wants to sharpen the Chiron. A handling package promises more agility and sporty driving pleasure.
Bugatti Chiron Sport – super sporty luxury
"We developed the Chiron Sport for customers who want their Chiron to be even sportier and with significantly more lateral dynamics," says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti Automobiles SAS ultimate performance, longitudinal acceleration and maximum speed with luxury, comfort and suitability for everyday use.”
In this way, the Chiron's extreme output and performance data as well as its lightness and comfort in terms of drivability are retained. There is now a clear plus for the Chiron Sport when it comes to handling.
"The Chiron Sport has become noticeably more agile, and the new liveliness, especially in tight bends, ensures a decent increase in emotions for the driver on winding roads or handling courses," Winkelmann continues.
Lightweight construction ensures a sporty appearance
The sports version of the Bugatti Chiron is around 18 kilograms lighter than the normal Chiron thanks to lightweight components. Less weight means more speed. The sporty Bugatti laps the Nardo handling course almost five seconds faster than its brother.
It is significantly more agile and lively and offers more lateral dynamics on winding roads. A firmer chassis and new Dynamic Torque Vectoring functions ensure a sporty appearance.
The sport can be recognized visually by its new rim design and a four-pipe exhaust trim at the rear. Additionally, the new version features carbon fiber wipers. So far unique in the automotive industry. A red 16, which is painted on the grille of the radiator grille, serves as a unique selling point for the number of cylinders in the Chiron.
An optional equipment and color package for an even sportier look allows additional adjustments according to customer requirements. Bugatti is already planning the first deliveries of vehicles to customers by the end of the year.
