It’s often hard to imagine how manufacturers can add more more to cars like the 1500-hp, 16-cylinder Bugatti Chiron, yet here we are discussing the latest from Molsheim, the Chiron Sport.
The Sport version of one of the world’s preeminent hypercars packs the same 1500 horsepower and 1180 lb-ft of torque as before but gets chassis revisions intended to further refine the model’s handling. The regular car already represents a large dynamic improvement over the Veyron it replaced, but the Sport’s chassis benefits from tweaked steering and dampers that are 10 percent stiffer, both activated by entering a special Handling mode. The all-wheel-drive car also gets a torque-vectoring function for its rear differential, which is active in all vehicle modes and shuttles output to each rear wheel to enhance turn-in.
The Chiron Sport is also about 40 pounds lighter than the regular version thanks to new wheels, thinner rear-window glass, and the addition of more carbon fiber for various parts including the intercooler cover and windshield wipers, the latter of which Bugatti is claiming are a production-car first. The fresh wheels and the new quad-tip exhaust finisher are the car’s main visual differentiators. The upshot of the changes is that the Sport is said to be five seconds quicker around the Nardò circuit than the regular Chiron.
