布加迪近日在日内瓦车展发布了ChironSport高性能版本。该车采用了新的动态操控组件，改进后更硬悬挂。后者对减震器进行了升级，使悬挂硬度比标准版提升了10%。驾驶员可以通过驾驶模式选择进行设置。该车还配备了动态扭矩矢量功能，可以为每个轮胎独立分配扭矩，在车辆转弯时可以显著提升转向性能。这些升级在任何一种驾驶模式下都提高了操控性能。Chiron Sport的重量比其他Chiron车型低了18公斤。这主要归功于轮拱和内部中冷盖广泛采用了碳纤维材质，已经新开发的风挡雨刷。布加迪宣称，在业内首次开发出碳纤维雨刷，其重量比普通雨刷降低77%。该车还采用了轻质后窗玻璃和轻质排气偏导装置。由于上述升级，该车在Nardo赛道行驶时间比标准版Chiron快了5秒，转向时速超过200公里。该车售价367万美元（约合人民币2326万元），成为日内瓦车展上价格最高的展示车型。

 

Bugatti Chiron Sport Is 40 Lbs Lighter, Faster In Corners

Two years into the production of the Chiron, Bugatti has revealed the even more extreme Chiron Sport version. It doesn’t have additional power, but thanks to a number of other improvements, the French manufacturer says, it’s significantly faster on corners.

 

The supercar now benefits from a new dynamic handling package and a revised and stiffer suspension. The latter uses a new control strategy for the shock absorbers, which react 10 percent more stiffly than the “standard” Chiron on average. The new settings can be experienced in the Handling driving mode. The car now also features a dynamic torque vectoring function, which distributes torque individually to each single wheel, “significantly improving the steering behavior” in curves. These improvements are effective in all driving modes.

 

The Chiron Sport is also lighter by 40 pounds (18 kilograms) than the other Chirons. This is possible thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber for the wheels and intercooler cover, as well as newly developed windscreen wipers. Bugatti proudly says it’s the first manufacturer in the industry to develop a carbon fiber windscreen wiper, which saves up to 77 percent of the weight of a conventional wiper. The Chiron Sport also has lighter glass in the rear window and a lighter exhaust deflector.

 

The exotic automaker claims all these improvements make the Chiron Sport five seconds faster than the “base” Chiron model on Bugatti’s Nardo test track. Cornering speeds in excess of 124 miles per hour (200 kilometers per hour) have been registered.

 

The manufacturer has a Chiron Sport with all the new features on display in Geneva, a car finished in Italian Red wearing a price of approximately $3.67 million, probably “the most expensive production car on display at this year’s show.”
