布加迪近日在日内瓦车展正式发布了Chiron跑车。相对于威航，Chiron的车身长度增加了82毫米，宽度增加40毫米，高度增加53毫米，重量增加155公斤至1995公斤。由于车身尺寸增加，内部空间更宽敞，头部空间增加12毫米。作为威航的替代车型，Chiron在外观设计上采用渐进式改款，但隐藏在熟悉外表下的却是完全不同的内部结构和动力系统，它的车身全部采用碳纤维结构。布加迪老板杜翰墨表示，Chiron实际上是一款全新车型，该车只有很少一部分部件来自威航。该车搭载一台升级后的W16 8.0升四涡轮增压引擎，功率1103千瓦/1500马力@6700转/分，扭矩1600牛米@2000-6000转/分。搭配重新开发的七速双离合器自动变速器和四驱系统。车辆百公里加速时间不到2.5秒，0-200公里/小时加速时间不到6.5秒，0-300公里/小时加速时间不到13.6秒，最高时速420公里，略快于威航。目前布加迪已经收到了150辆Chiron的订单，这款车仅限量生产500辆，每辆售价240万欧元（约合人民币1708万元）。该车将在法国Molsheim工厂生产，10月开始交付。
Bugatti Chiron officially revealed with 261 mph top speed
It was less than an hour ago when we found out all the technical specifications and now the Bugatti Chiron has been officially unleashed in Geneva.
Previewed by the Vision Gran Turismo concept last year, the Chiron is Bugatti’s much awaited replacement for the Veyron and aims to be better in just about every possible way. While the styling is evolutionary, what's hiding underneath the familiar skin is considerably different than its predecessor and it uses a full carbon fiber construction.
In addition, Bugatti boss Wolfgang Dürheimer says the Chiron is basically an all-new car as it uses a small amount of components sourced from the Veyron. The upgraded W16 8.0-liter engine with four turbochargers now develops a massive 1,500 PS (1,103 kW / 1,479 hp) at 6,700 rpm and 1,181 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque between 2,000 – 6,000 rpm. The engine is linked to a reworked seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox sending power to both axles.
The revised hardware arrangement grants a sprint to 62 miles (100 kilometers) per hour in less than 2.5 seconds, 0 to 124 mph (200 kph) in less than 6.5 seconds and 0 to 186 mph (300 kph) in fewer than 13.6 seconds. It will continue to accelerate until reaching a limited speed of 261 mph (420 kph), making it marginally faster than the Veyron.
The Bugatti Chiron is 82 mm longer, 40 mm wider and 53 mm higher than the Veyron and is also 341 pounds (155 kilograms) heavier, so now it tips the scales at a hefty 4,398 pounds (1,995 kilograms.) The increased footprint has enabled a more spacious cabin where there’s now 12 mm of additional headroom.
Bugatti has already received more than 150 orders for the Chiron which will be limited to 500 units, each priced at €2.4M / $2.61M. Production will take place at the Molsheim factory in France and deliveries are programmed to begin in October.
The new Chiron will be available for your viewing pleasure starting Thursday when the 86th Geneva Motor Show will open its doors to the general public.
