The 2018 Bugatti Chiron

The Bugatti Veyron was by far one of the most interesting cars that were released in the past few years, but since it is now officially sold out, people need to try and find a good replacement in this regard. A good idea of doing that comes in the form of 2018 Bugatti Chiron, the latest car from the reputable manufacturer. We had the opportunity to check one out, despite the final version coming in 2016; here is our 2018 Bugatti Chiron review!

Design

The shape is similar to the early model and the mid-engine design is there to stay, which is a major plus in this regard. You still get the Bugatti grille which is now a trademark of the manufacturer, but at the same time you also receive a better set of aerodynamics that will add up to a faster total speed.

Interior

The Veyron did have a few issues with the off-centered position of the driver, but now the new model gets it fixed. Another good improvement comes in the form of the gauge cluster that gets a little further from the tachometer. Moreover, the manufacturers thought about the ergonomics inside the car as well, with the switch gear being re-positioned for this exact same purpose.

Engine and Drive Train

The engine seems to be most likely the same from the previous model, with a few changes. The boost pressure will be increased and the engine will receive direct fuel injection. Based on these specs it seems that the car will get no less than 1500 horsepower, and even the torque will get increased to around 1100 pound-feet. 62mph will come at around 2.5 seconds (some sources say that it will do that in less than 2 seconds), not to mention that the top speed is said to be 288 mph!

Performance

Considering the extraordinary engine and drive train, one can only imagine that this is a great improvement when compared to the Veyron. The car drives a lot easier, and the interior modifications are indeed a great change of pace. The car is a lot easier to drive and it provides a more pleasant experience. It stops very fast, and the control for the overall speed is very quick and responsive. The 2018 Bugatti Chiron manages to seamlessly combine the astounding looks with the ultimate performance, offering you an extraordinary driving experience that you have never had before.

Pricing and availability

Neither of these is confirmed, other than a vague 2016 release date. We can expect this to come sometime in the summer 2016, but when it comes to the pricing, if the Veyron model is any indication, you will need to pay around $2.5 million or around 2 million euros… or maybe even more than that, it all comes down to the manufacturer.

Is it worth it?

2018 Bugatti Chiron is a very good car and one that manages to provide the ultimate performance on the road. It looks great, drives amazingly well and is the best sports car that an enthusiast can have. Sure, it does come with a hefty pricetag, but in the end it’s clear that it’s worth each and every penny!
