2016 GIMS. Bugatti Chiron revealed: 1,480 hp and 0-62 mph in under 2.5 seconds
Geneva, Switzerland - March 04, 2016 - Behold Bugatti's new Chiron. The much-hyped successor to the Veyron and potentially the fastest car ever to enter production has been revealed today ahead of its world debut tomorrow at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Fans will be quick to note that this is slower than the current land speed record for a production car, a speed of 267.8 mph set by Bugatti's Veyron Super Sport back in 2010. Yes, the Chiron can go faster but Bugatti remains quiet on just how much faster. A top speed of 288 mph is rumored. What Bugatti will tell us is that the Chiron will accelerate from 0-62 mph under 2.5 seconds, which means it's quicker off the line than the Veyron Super Sport. Accelerating to 124 mph in the Chiron will take less than 6.5 seconds and hitting 186 mph will take less than 13.6 seconds, Bugatti claims.
