During high-speed test-drives conducted over several days, the engineers fine-tune the mechanics, damping, and aerodynamics before the first models of the new Chiron Super Sport being produced by hand in Molsheim, will be delivered from end of August 2021 onwards. “Following successful road tests at up to 380 km/h, we are now refining the handling of the vehicle at up to 440 km/h to allow the Chiron Super Sport to perform with uncompromising safety, even at this incredible top speed, and give the driver a good, and above all, safe feeling at extremely high speeds,” explains Jachin Schwalbe, Head of Chassis Development at Bugatti. This comes down to multiple technical modifications and optimizations. Various parameters can be modified and compared based on variable settings for the rear wing angle, vehicle height, damping, and electrically assisted steering. This is done lap after lap, all in top speed mode. Up to six engineers then discuss the perfect setup. “Our engineers are from a wide variety of specialist backgrounds, enabling them to comprehensively verify our assessments, ensuring the best possible result and therefore maximum performance for the future owners while ensuring there is maximum testing safety,” says Jachin Schwalbe. This is exclusive work – at 440 km/h, the Chiron Super Sport is the world’s fastest production sports car. ***FULL PRESS RELEASE AVAILABLE*** Where: Molsheim , France When: 22 Jun 2021 Credit: Bugatti/WENN *****FULL PRESS RELEASE AVAILABLE*****
