It is very prominent at first look with a aerodynamic side, low-slung front, and an extended rear for great performance that the new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport has been formulated without any compromise for peak efficiency of aerodynamics. Bugatti engineers have designed the new hyper sports car so that it could be operated at top speed while fully accepting both luxury and comfort. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport price is $3.9 million which is scheduled to launch in 2022. And the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport price in India is set at Rs. 28.40 cr.
The streamlined bodywork of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport was designed as a new vehicle structure to increase the aerodynamic performance. The hyper sports car is a determined, reincarnation of the Bugatti design mantra, ‘form follows performance. From the rear diffuser to the front splitter, every part of its skin is formulated for Bugatti Chiron Super Sport top speed.
The vehicle must provide sufficient downforce along with very minimal drag at speeds over 420km/h. The body of the Chiron Super Sport provides huge downforce to meet the uplift and discard the forces that are opposing it. Frank Heyl, who is the Deputy Design Director at Bugatti says,
"The design process was therefore in particular about achieving aerodynamic efficiency."
In the end, the rear of the vehicle has increased by approximately 250mm to capture the airflow to the bodywork even at high speeds. The designers of Bugatti also expanded the diffuser’s cross-section by around 40%.
The nine exhaust air holes that are available on each fender are way more than just a nod to the legendary Bugatti EB 110 Super Sport – they also operate to release the air pressure from the wheel wells at the front. This generates streamlined downforce at the front axle. Along with that additional outlets behind the front wheel bends likewise that help to balance out a load of aerodynamics.
Bugatti formulated a new frame specifically for the Chiron Super Sport’s high speeds and the new aerodynamics. The steering structure and dampers form a more hard connection to the vehicle, which results in tighter steering features and greater stability even at top speed. The engineers have also returned the frame that was electronically controlled, which operates suspension settings in real-time in less than even six milliseconds.
There is a common question as to what Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 0-60? As per Bugatti, the Chiron Super Sport is capable of sprinting to 60 mph from rest in under 3.0 seconds and hit 124 mph in 5.8 seconds and 186 mph in 12.1 seconds.
The engineers made changes to various elements to get this, which included the oil pumps, turbochargers, and cylinder heads. With these developments, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport escalates from zero to 200km/h in 5.8 seconds. This sports car accelerates to 400km/h from a standstill seven percent faster than the base Chiron.
For an even greater difference, new aluminum wheels in a five-Y-spoke design are made available, which are only for the Chiron Super Sport. The new Super Sport wheels are also available in a diamond-cut option as well. According to Bugatti’s Head of Chassis Development, Jachin Schwalbe,
"We tweaked all possible parameters when developing the chassis in order to achieve the best possible setup for performance as well as the unique Bugatti luxury experience."
He further added,
"In comparison to the Chiron Pur Sport, the Chiron Super Sport remains very neutral and quiet even above this in the uppermost speed ranges. This vastly increases the feeling of safety."
