After years of rumours, guessing games and a sea of estimated performance figures, the Bugatti Chiron has arrived.
The new model steps into the wheel-tracks of the Bugatti Veyron - with no easy road ahead in attempting to better a car that is a stratospheric classic.
But the Chiron has started off on the right foot (or wheel); slung behind the cockpit is the 8.0 litre W16 petrol engine out of the Veyron but with power boosted to an incontinence-inducing 1500 BHP (1119kW) and 1600Nm.
Combined with four turbochargers and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic - which boasts the “largest, high-performance” clutch ever fitted to a passenger car - and the Chiron can hit 100km/h from rest in less than 2.5 seconds.
