After buying a remote-controlled model of a Bugatti Divo, master of papercraft Dan Creator decided he’d prefer to drive a truck. So he got to work stripping down the scale supercar, removed its body, and reconfigured its chassis and drivetrain to ride beneath a cardboard model cargo truck loaded with tiny Amazon boxes.
Artisan watchmaker Jacob & Co created this incredible timepiece inspired by the W16 engine in the Bugatti Chiron. It has a working model of the 16-cylinder engine, powered by a 51-jewel movement. The one-of-a-kind watch has 578 hand-assembled parts, and cost $1.5 million, roughly half the price of the ultra-luxe supercar.
If you want a real Bugatti Chiron, you’re looking at about $3 million bucks. Or if you’re handy with cutting metal and welding, you could make one out of old car parts. CB Media visited Thailand’s Ban Hun Lek for a look at an incredible Chiron replica parked between an army of junkyard mechs and monsters.
Bugatti set their engineers and designers loose to create the most extreme track car concept. The result is this quad-turbo W16 lightweight monster that makes 1824 hp and weighs 2733 lb. Its top speed is “well above” 310 mph. In simulations, it does 0 to 124 mph in just 4.36 sec., 0 to 186 in 7.37 sec., and hits top speed in 33.62 sec.
French supercar maker Bugatti has taken its over-the-top Chiron, and bestowed it with hardware that makes it capable of breaking 300 mph. Its 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine makes an insane 1578 hp, and it has upgraded aero to keep it glued to the tarmac at speed. Just 30 of the cars will be made, with prices starting at $3.9 million.
The $3.5 million, 1479bhp Bugatti Chiron Sport is theoretically capable of hitting 261 mph, according to Bugatti. But nobody outside of Bugatti themselves has achieved that. In this clip from UK auto mag Top Gear, editor-in-chief Charlie Turner attempts to hit that top speed on VW’s fabled Ehra-Lessien testing circuit.
Like the Chiron, the Bugatti Centodieci is powered by an 8.0L W16 engine, but that’s about where the similarities end. This $9 million special edition features a unique design inspired by the EB 110 Super Sport, plus it cuts weight, increases downforce by 200 lb, and bumps its horsepower to 1600. Just 10 will be made, and they’re all sold.
The titanium brake calipers on the Bugatti Chiron are the only ones in the world to be produced using 3D printing tech. Watch the calipers get tested at extreme speeds, as eight pistons and industrial-strength pads clamp down on a red-hot disc, sending sparks flying.
We recently got a look at the amazing life-size LEGO Technic replica of the Bugatti Chiron. Now go behind the scenes with the design and build team to see how this incredible vehicle came to life. We just want to make everything out of those flexible blue panels now.
A real Bugatti Chiron will set you back $2.5 million, but this one cost just 1,000,000 bricks… and 2,304 LEGO Power Function motors… and 4,032 Technic gears. This 3,300 lb Chiron makes just 5.3 hp with a top speed of 12.4 mph and is every bit as awesome as the real deal.
California-based Racing Heroes makes extremely detailed 1:18 (about 10″) scale models of classic sports cars, race cars and other related vehicles. Each model is assembled by hand and given realistic paint and finish.
Design Epicentrum makes these high-end custom workstations in the style of famous supercars. While they look awesome and weigh less than the actual cars, they probably can’t do 0-to-60 in under 3 seconds. At least until Colin Furze gets his hands on one.
While we’ve still yet to see and hear Bugatti’s new Chiron hypercar flogged about at full speed, we’re already impressed by the epic exhaust note of its massive W16 engine, as shown in this video of one of the cars being unloaded for an exhibition in Vienna, Austria.
The Chiron has an 8L quad-turbocharged W-16 engine that produces up to 1478hp and 1180lb.ft. of torque, making it the world’s most powerful production street car. It goes from 0 to 62mph in 2.5s and has a limited top speed of 261mph. Each of its 500 units costs $2.6M.
Auto enthusiast Salomondrin gives us an idea how much it costs to maintain a Bugatti Veyron. Obviously if you can afford to buy a $3 million car, these things won’t matter to you, but it doesn’t make a $20,000 oil change any less insane.
Shpilli Villi’s pimped out Nissan takes on the 1001HP king of speed, beating it handily off the line and through the 1/4 mile thanks to its AWD drivetrain, and coming in neck and neck in the mile. Though the Bugatti will soon pull away.
Pro racer Seiji Ara takes a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport around the Fuji Speedway and waxes poetic about the car’s supremacy. The car sounds like a demonic fighter plane and its brakes could probably stop time itself.
While most of us will never be able to afford the $2 million+ dollar pricetag of an actual Veyron, we can live vicariously through this intricate paper model you can cut out and build for yourself.
Strap your hat on before heading out in the the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse; the targa-topped model boasts a quad-turbo 1200 hp W-16 Super Sport engine and 255 mph top speed.
Got $2 million dollars, and can’t decide what car to buy? You better move quick, because there’s only ONE of these Bumblebee-inspired Veyrons, with 1001hp under the hood, topping out at 253mph.
Just when we thought we’d seen the most expensive car in the world, out comes another tricked out Veyron. The Sang Noir (Black Blood) is currently the only Veyron Super Sport for sale.
Mike Duff has replicated a Bugatti Veyron by hand, taking a Mercury Cougar and piece by piece transforming it into quite a beautiful car. Bonus: this vehicle is also up for sale. (Thanks Kelley!)
