New Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is a luxury-GT with 1578 BHP

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport combines the best of both worlds - luxury and performance.

Bugatti has unveiled their new Chiron Super Sport. It sits between the record-breaking Super Sport 300+ model and the 'regular' Chiron hypercar, offering both luxury and performance.

The new model is based on the record-breaking 'Super Sport 300+', which back in 2019, broke the 300 mph speed barrier for production cars, reaching a top speed of 304.77 mph (490.48 km/h) in the process.

The new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport carries forward the same design as the '300+', including the extended tail section, providing huge amounts of downforce. The new model also comes with circular vents on the front fenders and twin exhaust pipes; both of which have been inspired by the iconic EB 110 supercar from the 1990s. Bugatti also offers the Chiron Super Sport with an exclusive set of Y-spoke aluminium wheels.

Inside, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport features plenty of polished aluminium and premium leather-wrapped panels. There are also plenty of carbon fibre bits all around as well. Bugatti states that the interiors of the new Chiron Super Sport is suitable for 'high-speed continental trips'.

The new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport comes powered by the quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 petrol engine. It produces 1,578 BHP @ 7,000 rpm and 1,600 Nm @ 2,250 - 7,000 rpm and is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission unit.

In terms of performance, the new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport has an electronically limited top speed of 440 km/h. The hypercar is capable of accelerating from 0 - 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, while 0 - 200 km/h takes 5.8 seconds and 300 km/h comes in just 12.1 seconds.

Bugatti will be building only 60 units of the new Chiron Super Sport, each expected to have a price tag of over 2.5 million euros. Deliveries of the new Super Sport model is expected to commence in 2022.
