No production car in history had ever done what you are about to watch happen in real time. The 2017 Chiron's 1,500 PS quad-turbocharged W16 eliminates turbo lag by launching with two of its four turbochargers active and engaging the other two at 3,800 rpm. It reaches 249 MPH (400 km/h) in just 32.6 seconds. Then at full speed, the rear wing rises to 49 degrees, forming an air brake that adds 900 kg of downforce onto the rear axle, roughly the weight of a Golf. The braking force hits 2G, the same felt during a space shuttle launch. Full stop from 249 mph in just 9.3 seconds and 491 metres. Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix winner Juan Pablo Montoya drove the attempt in his everyday clothes on Volkswagen Group's Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany. The entire record run covered just 3.1 kilometres of road and the film was tracked by another Bugatti Chiron running alongside it. Love Technology?
