Bugatti is excited to be back at the globally renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed. Taking place on the resplendent grounds of Goodwood House near Chichester (West Sussex), the Chiron Pur Sport1 will be driven up the illustrious hill climb, with the all-new Chiron Super Sport2 on static display at the event, as one of its first public appearances. The Bugatti Baby II will also be making a static appearance at the Festival of Speed.
Bugatti developed a new vehicle design with optimized aerodynamics for the Chiron Super Sport’s streamlined bodywork. The new Chiron Super Sport is an uncompromising reincarnation of the Bugatti design mantra, ‘form follows performance’. From the front splitter to the rear diffuser, every centimeter of its skin is designed for top speed.At speeds over 420 km/h, a vehicle must offer sufficient downforce alongside minimal drag. “Our aim was to give the vehicle a neutral setup at its top speed while also giving it as streamlined a shape as possible.” explains Frank Heyl, Deputy Design Director at Bugatti. The uplift forces exerted on the bodywork at 440 km/h are immense. The body of the Chiron Super Sport generates massive downforce to counter this uplift and perfectly balance the forces. “The design process was therefore in particular about achieving aerodynamic efficiency,” Heyl continues. The Chiron Super Sport’s extended rear, which is known as a long tail, gives it new proportions and very distinctive aesthetics. An optional, new, horizontal color split visually extends the proportions of the Chiron Super Sport even further, making the hyper sports car appear even lower.
Bugatti test driver Andy Wallace explains the Chiron. No other driver spends so much time in a Bugatti Chiron1 like he does: Andy Wallace. In the last few years, the Englishman and Bugatti Pilote Officiel covered a total of over 150,000 km with the extraordinary vehicles from Molsheim. A true professional. He’s been testing Bugatti cars and taking customers to the limits of driving physics since 2011.But not only them: He spent more than 30 years as a racing driver. He competed in both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona on 21 occasions, winning the Le Mans endurance classic once and Daytona three times.In the summer of 2019, Wallace proves in a quite spectacular way that he is a lover of incredible speed: he reaches the top speed of exactly 490.484 km/h (304.773 mph) in a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+* . A world record for Bugatti. At the same time, Bugatti is the first car manufacturer ever to break the magical 300 mph (482,80 km/h) barrier.Being a professional through and through, there is no one better to present the Bugatti Chiron: In a series of five video clips, he explains the car’s technical details in a comprehensible manner and reveals how to get everything out of the hyper sports car while staying safe. Fasten your seatbelts!
