Ole. Ik had het in de droomgarage thread kunnen posten. Om mij nog wat populairder te maken.

Bugatti has revealed a new version of its mighty Chiron. It is called the Bugatti Chiron Sport. It features no additional power from its herculean 8.0-litre, 1,479bhp 16-cylinder engine. It’s not faster at the top end. It’s not even quicker to 62mph.

But it is faster around a handling circuit over a ‘base’ Chiron, thanks to a new handling pack, and slightly trimmer kerbweight. And some carbon fibre wipers.

Yes folks, this is the circuit-friendly Bugatti Chiron. The engineers have tweaked the shock absorbers so that they are ten per cent stiffer than standard. The steering too, has been modified, though we’re promised the ‘outstanding direct feel’ has not been compromised.

The rear differential gets a wee tweak too, and the hypercar now features a Dynamic Torque Vectoring function that fields out torque to assist agility during what its drivers might like to call ‘spirited driving’. Or what regular mortals might like to call ‘oh god this is fast’.

A grand total of 18kg has been removed from the Chiron’s bulk, attributable to new lightweight wheels, a carbon fibre stabiliser and intercooler cover, and of course, the amazing carbon fibre windscreen wipers – a world first on a production car, no less. They’re 1.4kg lighter than before, and feature 3D-printed aluminium tips. Frankly, this is amazing.

There’s also lighter glass in the rear window and a lighter exhaust deflector. All in all, these small, detailed tweaks add up to a five second advantage over a regular Chiron around Nardo’s handling circuit, though we’re not told specifically what the lap time is.
