The Chiron is characterized by the brand’s famous horseshoe-shaped grille, created by founder Ettore Bugatti, which is associated with the immense “C” displayed on the side panels. It was precisely the initial of the model name that the manufacturer claimed that the sportiest Chiron was capable of drawing on the asphalt like no other.
The model that Bugatti improved to have the most perfect “writing” of the Chiron range was the Pur Sport, a sports car as monstrous as it is beautiful which gave up the possibility of reaching a top speed of 420 km/h. Instead, reinforced aerodynamic support optimize behavior in curves and braking, also adopting a shorter transmission to make it faster. This is because the more generous rear wing and the dissident more prominent frontals prevent it from exceeding 350 km/h.
In terms of mechanics, the Pur Sport continues to use the huge 8-liter capacity engine divided into 16 cylinders distributed in W. Once driven by four turbochargers, this unit reaches 1500 horsepower in most versions, including the Pur Sport. Power is distributed to all four wheels, which explains why this most beautifully handwritten Bugatti with a natural tendency toward drift Being able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds.
Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport even flies at 350 km/h
To celebrate the “C” of the Chiron, Bugatti released a video in which the Pur Sport describes a “C” – or rather several – in a controlled skid at high speed. leaving behind kilos of rubber adhered to the asphalt of the track.
Having fun behind the wheel – sorry, hard at work – was brand development manager Sven Bohnhorst, who in addition to controlling the drift of the Pur Sport in a masterful way, even destroying four Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires in an instant. Almost as fast as the time it takes for the model to reach top speed. On my way, Bohnhorst demonstrated how easy it is to control the Chiron Pur Sport at the limit, at least on a very wide track like the one that served as a drawing board to draw the “C” of Chiron.
