The
Ultimate Fusion of Art, Speed, and Technology
Superb Cornering Dynamics
Unlike its predecessor, the Veyron, the Chiron Pur Sport seems calibrated for better handling at high speeds, especially during cornering. Its base concepts align with the Chiron 2 family tenets, but the Pur Sport1 comes with astounding accomplishments and complex upgrades.Complex Geometry For Pur’s Chassis
One of the most notable alterations in
the Chiron is the reduced camber by 2.5 degrees. This adjustment was made on
both axels, necessitating additional suspension joints to accommodate the
introduction of negative camber settings. The engineers carefully chose Pur's
axle geometry, putting it through 17 simulations to achieve high performance.
Tweaks That Improved Traction
Chiron wields extremely strong springs—166N/mm at the front and 200N/mm at the rear. These springs provide Chiron with additional traction, enhancing sporty handling without compromising driver comfort. The electro-mechanical commands adjust the shock absorbers seamlessly and in real-time, contributing to a precise steering experience.Sensors that Predict in Advance
The precision with which Pur Sport
runs is astoundingly amazing. Pur alerts the driver on its intended path,
minimizing the need for excessive steering. The Michelin tires, specially
designed for Chiron, contribute to this predictability, providing a soft yet
extremely sticky grip on the road.
The Results After Calibrated Gear Ratios
Bugatti set out to leverage a seven-speed double-clutch trans for Chiron, subjecting it to radical metamorphosis. The gears were chopped by 15%, enabling Pur to accelerate from 0-100 km/hr in a mere 2.3 seconds. The extended shift paddles provide the driver with the option to engage gears for a more powerful performance.
High Revving
The modified gear ratios allowed
Bugatti engineers to refine Chiron’s W16 engine (1,500PS), expanding its
revving range. Chiron can now rev between 6,700 and 6,900 per minute, with the
engine spinning up to an average of 7,000 rpm. This extended revving range
enhances the sportiness for which Chiron was designed.
Grip-Tailored Tires
After numerous test runs, Michelin
developed specially compounded tires (Sports Cup2R) exclusively for Bugatti
offerings. These tires, sized 355/25 R21 and 285/30 R20 for the rear and front
respectively, provide maximum road-tire grip, even during sharp corners at high
speeds.
Special Rim Design
Chiron adorns special magnesium tire-rims with optional radial aero-blades, all of which combined weigh under five kilograms. These blades are ringed-radials that swivel air towards the tire for cooling purposes, enhancing aerodynamics and exerting necessary down-force.New ESC-Sport+
In addition to seamless driving modes,
the ESC-Sport+ assistant software allows the driver to enjoy better handling.
When activated, the car gains increased slip and firm drift controls, providing
the driver with greater control across its speed-range plateau.
Driving Experience
Due to compacted traction control, Pur drivers enjoy greater freedom, especially when racing on dry circuits. The Chiron Pur Sport not only exudes a sportive attitude but is also stable and safe to drive, both on race tracks and on the streets.
Conclusion
The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport stands as
a masterpiece of the marriage of automotive innovation and engineering prowess.
Within the confines of the designer's suite comes an automobile piece that’s
meticulously crafted for exceptional performance on both the streets and the
track. From its superb cornering dynamics to the elaborately calibrated gear
ratios every aspect of the Pur Sport reflects Bugatti's commitment to pushing
the boundaries of what's possible.
