**The Technology Behind Bugatti's Chiron**

When it comes to speed and performance, few cars can match the Bugatti Chiron. But have you ever wondered what makes this car so fast? Let's take a closer look at some of the key technologies that make the Chiron a formidable machine on the track.

One of the most critical components of any high-performance car is the braking system. In the case of the Chiron, Bugatti has opted for carbon ceramic brakes with 420mm discs at the front and 400mm discs at the rear. The calipers themselves are forged from solid aluminum, providing a strong and reliable braking system. However, even this advanced technology can be improved upon. Bugatti is currently working on developing new brake calipers that use 3D printing to create complex structures that provide exceptional strength and lightness. These new calipers will be made from titanium and feature a unique biometric structure that distributes weight evenly throughout the component.

This innovative approach to braking is just one example of the cutting-edge technology that Bugatti brings to the table. The company's focus on performance and exclusivity means that every aspect of the car, from the tires to the brakes, has been carefully considered and optimized for maximum speed and agility. And while this attention to detail can result in a higher price tag, it's clear that Bugatti is committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with automotive engineering.

**Personalization and Exclusivity**

One of the things that sets Bugatti apart from other high-end manufacturers is its commitment to exclusivity and personalization. Customers are given complete control over their car, allowing them to choose every detail from the interior design to the exterior paint scheme. This level of customization can result in truly unique cars, but it also requires a significant amount of time and effort.

Bugatti employs a team of experienced designers who work closely with customers to create bespoke designs that meet their individual needs and preferences. These designers are not just creative visionaries; they're also experts in the art of car design. They know exactly how to balance functionality with style, ensuring that every aspect of the car meets Bugatti's high standards.

Of course, this level of personalization comes at a price. One customer even requested that various parts of their car be covered in gold, a nod to the classic Bond villain trope. While this may seem like an extravagant request, it's just one example of the lengths to which Bugatti will go to meet its customers' needs. Whether it's polishing gold accents or waiting three weeks for a custom paint job, Bugatti is willing to invest the time and effort required to create truly unique cars.

**The Price Tag**

So what does all this exclusivity and personalization cost? The answer is simple: it's very expensive. While Ferrari has its 599 SP3, which costs around $2 million per car, Bugatti's Chiron is a much more exclusive model. With only 500 units produced worldwide, including special editions like the Divo and La Voiture Noire, each car is truly a one-off creation.

The price of these cars can be staggering, with some models costing upwards of $7 million. But for those who are willing to pay top dollar, the reward is worth it: a truly unique driving experience that's unlike anything else on the road.

**Comparing Ferrari and Bugatti**

So how does Bugatti stack up against its rival, Ferrari? While both companies are renowned for their high-performance cars, they have distinctly different approaches to design and engineering. Ferrari has traditionally focused on more practical applications of performance technology, with a focus on track-ready handling and reliability.

Bugatti, on the other hand, is all about exclusivity and personalization. Its cars are designed to be truly unique, with customers given complete control over every detail from the interior design to the exterior paint scheme. While this approach may result in higher prices, it's clear that Bugatti is committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with automotive engineering.

Ultimately, the choice between Ferrari and Bugatti will depend on your individual priorities. If you value exclusivity and personalization above all else, then a Bugatti Chiron may be the car for you. But if you're looking for a more practical, track-ready driving experience, Ferrari might be the better choice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhy Battis so expensive the range kicks off with a normal shearon and that is over2 million it's actually to do with all the crazy engineering that is required to build A500 horsepower hyper car now in this video I'm going to show you all the coolest features on the latest bagattis and explain to you why they cost so much I'm M Watson and you're watching car buy sell car wow let's start this video by talking about the Bugatti's famous w16 engine so as the name suggests it has 16 cylinders which is four times more cylinders than most cars because most cars are four cylinder right you can do the mess then there's the valves in each cylinder it has four valves per cylinder which means 64 valves in total then there's the injectors it has two injectors per cylinder which is 32 injectors then there's the four turbo it's a quad turbo car that all adds up now how much does it come to well with most manufacturers you can buy replacement engine if the engine goes pop and You' be able to find a priz for a replacement engine for most cars you can't do that with a Bugatti it's hard to get pricing information out of them there's nothing really on the internet all I managed to find is some random website that suggests that the turbos are about £6,000 each but I can't verify that it's really funny it's sort of mysterious maybe it's a case of if you have to ask the question you're too poor to afford the car anyway back to the turbochargers in terms of boost pressure nothing particularly special 18 PSI it's good but it's not loads for instance the Hennessy Venom its turbochargers produce 23 PSI of boost thing is though the Battis are huge turbochargers that work together to shift about 1,000 L of air per second so that twice the volume of the boot on a BMW M5 in fact in half an hour the four turbos on the chiron's engine could inflate a whole hot air balloon they shift that much air it's not only the flow rate from the turbos which is impressive so too is that of the water pump so it can shift 13 L per second of water now by comparison your cold tap at home if you're filling a liter bottle of water that'll take about 10 seconds it's nuts the reason why the chiron's water pump is so powerful is because it's got to do quite a lot of cooling as a result the car has quite a few radiators 10 to be precise that's more than I have in my house obviously when you got such a high Performance Engine you need to check that it's running okay and that's why Bugatti bench tests every engine that goes into every car they sell for 8 hours before it's delivered to a customer now other manufacturers don't do this they'll randomly spot check engines on the production line not so batti the engineers will go through and check 3,800 different components to make sure they're all working properly they don't just test the engine though they also test the entire car so before being delivered to a customer a car will actually be test driven by bat's Engineers for 200 miles but they don't just then give it to the customer they replace the entire floor and the wheels so there's no marks that pre- delivery test drive is nothing though when you compare what B actually do to its pre-production models take the chento dii for example the pre-production version of that car was driven for almost 19,000 mil while testing and at high speeds Plus in 45° heat in the Arizona desert and Bugatti we're only ever going to build 10 of them and then there's a highspeed testing obviously bagetti need to make sure that their car can cope at sustained high speeds which the owners will actually never do anyhow they do most of their testing for high speed uh vw's test center in Germany it's got two long straights but they're joined by corners and the Germans have speed limits on the corners and no one can disobey zeros not even bagetti so bagetti needs to be able to do sustained high speeds in a loop so for that they head to good old Italy where going fast is definitely allowed so they go to the Nardo ring down in southern Italy and they will test the cars for up to 20,000 miles doing speeds at times of up to 300 kilm an hour it's nuts they do that to see just how well the engine and the gearbox cope with sustained high speeds and the temperatures that that brings actually I went with Bugatti to Nardo to do some highspeed testing and their record-breaking ss300 plus now if you want to see how quick we went in the car click on the pop out B up there follow the link in the description below to watch that video it was scary now the Gat is aren't just about speed they also do a lot of work on aerodynamics because when you going at high speed you can't get Arrow wrong otherwise things could turn out quite messy the main way car manufacturers hone their vehicles aerodynamics is in a winter on obviously Bugatti used to be owned by Volkswagen and you think Sur they just do all their arrow in VW group's wind tunnel in Germany No but can't though you see the wind tunnel that V W has can only produce air flow at up to 250 km an hour as I've already explained bagatti does lots of testing at 300 km an hour so they need a wind tunnel that can do that and they had to use a different one as a result in fact the wind tunnel that batti uses has a fan that is powered by a motor with almost 10,000 horsepower that's effectively the same horsepower produced by five Merlin engines from the later generations of superm Marines Spitfire what that you want to see me review a supermarine Spitfire click on the pop out bner up there or follow the link in the description below batti spent 300 hours in the winteral developing the arrow for the normal Chiron but then they had to go back again to redevelop the arrow specifically for the ss300 plus see that car needed 8% more air flow for improved cooling because its engine produced more performance but at the same time it also need less drag in order to be able to hit that 300 mph threshold spatti took a number of measures to reduce drug on the car so they actually made it 25 cm longer when you make an object longer it means that the actual curvature of the parts becomes less it gets more smoothed out and that reduces drag also on the Shon they just changed the shape of the roof slightly for the same reason then at the back they fitted a new diffuser and what that did was enable the car to have sufficient downfall so that it was stable at high speed without having to deploy its rear wing which would obviously slow the car down my favorite change to the area on the ss300 plus are the vents over the front wheels which release air pressure out of the wheel arches and apparently according to buatti improved down Force by up to 30 kilos and that brings us on to the insane tires fitted to the Chiron so they're made by Michelin and they're specially developed Pilot Sport cup 2os however because of the insane SPS that the ss300 plus can do Michelin couldn't use their normal tight testing machine so instead for the buetti tires they use their machine for testing airplane tires which can spin at up to 500 km an hour it was even used to develop the tires for the space shuttle and that brings us onto the matter of GeForce you see when the bagatti is running at its top speed the tires are spinning at such a rate that the components on the tire are experiencing 4,000 000 G's which is nuts that means that the the valve assembly in the tire with the dust cap which normally weighs about the same as a mouse increases in weight to about the same as a Great Dane dog that's 50 kilos and to make sure that every that's fit to every shiron can cope with those forces without any incident or injury they are all x-rayed and examined after all it's the tires that keep the shiron attached to the road and they're rather important when it comes to braking from the car's mental top speeds that brings me on to the brakes themselves so you got carbon ceramic brakes 420 mm disc at front and 400 at the rear you got eight piston calipers at the front six piston at the rear and the calipers themselves they're not cast in a mold they're actually forged from solid ingots of aluminium so they're nice and strong and reliable but actually this is not the best solution for brakes and buatti is actually developing some some 3D printed brake calipers and they're 3D printed using thousands of layers of titanium and they're constructed in a biometric structure which is a little bit like alien where you have the strength in the structure where you need it and there's no material at all where you don't as a result not only is it stronger than the current system it's also a lot lighter buatti is currently testing these new 3D printed brakes they haven't on a production car yet but they have used used 3D printed Parts on other production cars for instance the Super Sport 300 plus and the PO sport have 3D printed rear parts to their exhaust systems meanwhile on the track only b day which will be made in very limited numbers they've used titanium 3D printed push rods for the suspension system now these parts just weigh 100 G but they can cope with 3 1/2 tons of force now to put that weight strength ratio into perspective it's a little bit like me being able to bench press 1,225 chirons now while buatti might be interested in weight saving in some areas they're less so in others especially in the interest of bling you see the badge on the front of the batti shiron is made out of silver and silver isn't the lightest material to build a badge out of I suppose that doesn't matter anyway really because Bugatti allows customers to personalize the cars exactly as they want them even if it means adding a bit of weight but to make sure that customers don't make any really bad decisions they employ a specific designer to help the customer through the process now this isn't just some guy who just comes along with some swatches and a felt tip pen this is a proper car designer he used to design cars he knows what he's doing and he works with the customer to get sort of what they want but also what won't disrespect the Bugatti brand one customer was allowed to have various parts of the car covered in Gold this is what they did gold finger I love gold now batti didn't just have to stick those bits of gold on they also had to polish them and it took 10 hours for each part then there was this customer that wanted to do a unique paint scheme for their batti Devo and this is what they created and I must say I think this is pretty awesome wasn't easy though it took three weeks for buatti to do the color on the car and then an extra two weeks on top of that to do the pattern however Bugatti didn't just do it on their car they actually practiced first on a spare dvo they just haven't have lying around but I guess that's the thing with Bugatti super exclusivity now to put their exclusivity into context Ferrari will only build 599 SP 3 day toners maybe about 2 Mill each buatti is only going to build 500 chirons in total including all special editions to be fair batti does actually make some cars based on the Chiron which it doesn't class as chirons for instance the dvo now there'll be 40 of those made in total and they each cost £4 million then there's the b day once again they'll make 40 of those they haven't released the price on that car probably be about the same then there's the chento dii of which there'll only be 10 they'll cost £7 million but the most exclusive buatti of all is lat Noir there will only be one of those now it was actually revealed a while ago if you want to find out more about it click the link up there for the link in the description below for my video now batti hasn't revealed who that customer is and they never will but before you ask no it's not me sadly YouTube doesn't pay quite that well anyway I hope you all enjoyed the video if you did give
