Let’s talk numbers.
Zero to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds.
8000cc W16 Engine.
4 Turbochargers.
1,500 horsepower.
1,600 Nm of Torque.
And a (limited) top speed of 420 km/h.
These numbers have been racked up by the world’s fastest car – the Bugatti Chiron.
Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Bugatti Chiron replaces the Veyron as the fastest car, which too, is made by Bugatti.
The company claims that the Chiron will soon be setting a new speed record and we don’t doubt that, as it is better than the current record holder, Veyron, in almost every way.
The car looks absolutely stunning while pushing the laws of physics on four wheels.
And it looks even better from the back!
If you have made up your mind on buying this car, then you might want to know that it comes with a price tag of a whopping €2.4 million, that’s almost 18 crores! The fuel tank alone has a capacity of 100 litres and if you are wondering ‘kitna deti hai’ then you probably need to understand that those who can afford this car won’t be bothered with a small thing like mileage.
Only 500 of these cars will ever be made and one-third of these have already been sold.
Speaking of 500, it is the only car in the world whose speedometer goes all the way up to 500 km/h.
This car goes fast but stops even faster – it stops from a speed of 300 km/h to zero in a distance of 275 metres.
Now all that’s left for Bugatti is to set the new speed record, and we hope that happens soon.
