Watch A Bugatti Chiron Casually Blast From 0-400-0kmh

Bugatti has released footage of its record-setting run in the Chiron, with Juan Pablo Montoya managing to do 0-400-0kmh in under 42 seconds

We’ll have to wait until 2018 to see the Chiron at last better the top speed managed by the Veyron Super Sport, but this week Bugatti gave us an early treat to keep us interested. It involved former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya doing 0-400-0kmh (0-249-0) in an astonishing 41.96 seconds aboard the Chiron, and now, there’s some video footage of the record-setting effort.

We’d prefer a raw interior shot rather than all the gloss and the thumping Hans Zimmer-style soundtrack seen in the video above, but still, it gives a good sense of just what the Chiron is capable of. Some of the flyby shots are extraordinary, and Montoya looks incredibly calm in the cockpit, having decided not to bother with racing overalls or a helmet. Hero.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

POPEYE: YA BLASTID IDIAT!! THE CHIRON CAN DO 400 KPH IN UNDER 42 SECS.!!

Weird how this car is just perfectly road legal. No, your car is too low therefore not legal. Oh, you got a car being able to crack 400? No worries, drive on

Yes but track use only

Just look at the things 2017 gave us so far. Project 1, Valkyre, Chiron did 0-400-0 in under 42 seconds, we got the Demon, Tesla did 0-100 in 2.28, Rimac humiliated many hypercars on the drag strip, we got the new Type R, new Mustang that does 0-100 in less than 4 seconds and has magnetic suspension, we got the Ford GT, 720S, manual GT3, manual 911 GTS, Camaro ZL1 1LE… What a time to be a car guy

Ikr

the only thing that ruin such moment is mitsubishi

I up voted your comment without even reading 1st line. Can’t agree more mate!

If i could only afford any of them…

Also released the Mercedes project 1

How did they video the first bit?

they used another chiron

Either a second chiron as a camera car or a superbike. All modern 1000cc+ supersports can keep up with a hypercar up until ~170mph.

Glad it didn’t broke his f*cking head.

Needs a MID NIGHT sticker

Now that’s one bloody fast camera car.

I belive they used another Chiron for the camera car

it’s probably a VERY fast superbike (i’ve seen this video uncut, this angle of your screenshot alone), and when it was getting close to 400, the camera wasn’t able to keep up and chiron started to gain on it.
