The Bugatti Chiron, AKA the Veyron Successor, Will Be a 288-MPH Animal with E-Turbos

The Bugatti Chiron, AKA the Veyron Successor, Will Be a 288-MPH Animal with E-Turbos

In regards the drivetrain, Bugatti has reportedly been examining several options, but appears to have settled on carrying over the 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged W16. The goal is to boost output from 1,200 to 1,500 horsepower, which will be done via direct fuel injection and – get this – electric turbochargers. These will provide fast-acting torque, likely to peak around 1,000 lb-ft, sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Bugatti expects a top speed of around 288 mph with this setup – some 18 mph faster than the Veyron’s. The Chiron will also come with active air deflectors, carbon ceramic brakes and a huge rear wing that also acts as an air brake.

(And PORSCHE is sued for the CGT being too fast or dangerous.....)
