The 2018 Bugatti Chiron comes powered by a 1,500-hp 8.0-liter 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive system.

It may well be the last of the non-hybrid hypercars and the immense acceleration figures are now backed up with much more driver involvement than before.

Both refinement and ride quality have also been improved over the Veyron and now the latest VW Group safety and technology features form part of the Chiron’s huge specification sheet.
