This is just... wow
For about $3 million, not including some pretty serious modifications, you might be able to take a crack at breaking the 300-mph barrier one day.The Bugatti Chiron, driven by Andy Wallace at a track in Germany last month, managed to reach a top speed of 304.77 mph to become the first supercar to topple the mythical target, according to a reveal from Top Gear this week. Of course, this isn’t the Chiron you’d find sitting around in some sheik’s garage.
“The biggest challenge is to get the overall package right, not only design, not only aerodynamics, not only engine, not only tires,” Bugatti designer Frank Heyl told Top Gear. “It’s to get everything together and working in one car.”"Our goal was to be the first manufacturer ever to reach the magic 300-mile-per-hour mark. We have now achieved this. In the future, we will focus on other areas" - see BUGATTI President Stephan Winkelmann's whole statement. #BUGATTI #FastestCar pic.
— Bugatti September 2, 2019 Top Gear reported that the project will ultimately result in a production Super Sport version of the Chiron, even though Bugatti hasn’t confirmed that. This isn’t the first record the Chiron, which sells for about $3 million, has broken. A one-off version reportedly went for $18.9 million last year.
