Bugatti has set a new benchmark for supercar top speeds, sending its Chiron close to 500km/h.
Bugatti has set a new speed record for supercars, reaching 490.484km/h with a modified Chiron coupe.
A pre-production version of an upcoming “long tail” Bugatti Chiron with sleek new bodywork became the first sports car to exceed 300mph (482.8km/h) at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien proving ground.
Andy Wallace, Bugatti test driver and 1988 Le Mans winner, reached what he describes as an “incredible speed” on Monday.
“It’s inconceivable that a car would be capable of this,” Wallace says.
“But the Chiron was well prepared and I felt very safe — even in these high speed ranges.
