2021 Bugatti Chiron

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron is a limited-production hypercar. It is not like any normal car with a defined list of features and packages. The Bugatti Chiron comes with a hefty price tag that touches 3 million dollars. Buggati Chiron has been a successful hypercar right from its launch and it is not an easy task to get this rare car. You do not get many modern technologies and driver assistance technologies with the Bugatti Chiron as it is focused on performance. However, talking about the interior of the car, there is nothing to complain about. It gets some of the best quality materials available around the world to give you a luxurious feel in the cabin. It also comes with a ton of customization options like the interior theme, materials, color, and exterior paint options. 

We recommend

The recommendation becomes pretty limited when you talk about a car that comes in such a limited number. There is no hard rule on the list of features or the color of the interior that you can get with the Bugatti Chiron. It comes with pretty long customization options. So you can customize your Bugatti Chiron based on how you wish your car to look. The car comes standard with everything that is required to enjoy the bonkers power it packs under the hood. 

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron comes with an 8-liter 16-cylinder engine under its hood. It is the same engine that powers all variants of the Bugatti Chiron including the special editions of the car. The engine is capable of producing 1479 horsepower and 1180 pound-feet of torque. The engine comes mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels. The Bugatti Chiron is one of the quickest cars powered by a gasoline engine. It takes only 2.3 seconds to go from a standstill to 60 mph while the quarter-mile run takes 9.1 seconds. There are some special editions of the Bugatti Chiron that are even faster than the standard Chiron models. But the biggest strength of the Bugatti Chiron lies in its top speed. Although the Bugatti Chiron is capable of achieving speeds over 300 miles per hour, the top speed is limited to 273 miles per hour in the production cars. 

The Bugatti Chiron comes with the most powerful engine in the segment and the size of the engine is also larger than the competition with a significant margin. The Bugatti Chiron is the quickest car in the competition completing the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 2.3 seconds. The Koenigsegg Jesko in comparison takes 2.5 seconds to complete the 0 to 60 mph sprint. But this is not a big difference in real-world driving situations. One area where the Koenigsegg Jesko beats the Bugatti Chiron is its top speed of over 300 mph. The Pagani Huayra Roadster comes with a less powerful engine but it leverages its extremely lightweight design to offer similar performance.

2021 Bugatti Chiron Ride and Handling

The Bugatti Chiron is a high-performance car that is capable of hitting speeds that are beyond expectations for the majority of other cars in the market. For a car that is capable of hitting such insane speeds, you can not compromise on the handling department. The Bugatti Chiron comes with an aerodynamic design that is meant for addressing that problem. You never feel that the car has become unstable even when it is touching the redline with speeds above the 250 miles per hour mark. 

The steering wheel of the 2021 Bugatti Chiron offers the right amount of feel and feedback. You never feel underconfident while making a quick turn in the car. But the Bugatti Chiron is not supposed to be a track-oriented model. It tries to deliver a comfortable driving experience with that insane amount of power under its hood. Buyers who want more aggressive driving dynamics can consider the Chiron Sport or the Chiron Per Sport trim levels. The standard Bugatti Chiron offers an excellent balance between ride and handling considering it is a hypercar that packs so much performance under its hood. 

2021 Bugatti Chiron Braking Performance

The braking performance is an important factor for the safety of any car. But in the case of a hypercar, it becomes much more than that. The braking performance also affects the overall driving experience of a hypercar as you will be taking your car to the track quite often. Bugatti is an experienced hypercar maker with experience in making some legendary models. That experience is well evident in the braking performance of the Bugatti Chiron. The Bugatti Chiron comes with 16.5 inches of brake rotors in the front and 15.7 inches of brake rotors in the rear. The 2021 Bugatti Chiron takes an impressive 159 feet to stop the car from 70 to 0 mph. The 60 to 0 mph stopping distance is also quite impressive with a distance of around 103 feet. But the stopping distance might vary depending on the road conditions, wind, and other factors. 

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron comes with a set of massive brake rotors both in the front and rear of the car. It takes only 103 feet to come to a complete stop from 60 mph which is quite impressive. The Bugatti Chiron is the heaviest car in the competition which makes this braking performance even more impressive. The size of brake rotors is not available for the Koenigsegg Jesko or the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC. The stopping distance is not available for both of these cars either. However, braking performance is quite impressive for all these cars. 

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron comes with a massive engine. The displacement of the engine is also quite large and it gets an 8-liter engine under its hood. It also has to fire 16 cylinders which is a big number for any hypercar in the competition. If you combine both these factors along with the driving behavior that you expect from the buyers of the Bugatti Chiron, you should never expect good fuel economy figures from the Bugatti Chiron. When you consider the ideal driving conditions, the 2021 Bugatti Chiron manages to return 8 mpg in the city, 11 mpg on the highway, and 9 mpg of combined fuel economy. The Bugatti Chiron comes with a massive 26.4 gallons fuel tank capacity that helps it go a maximum of 290 miles on a full tank.

The 2021 Koenigsegg Jesko returns the best fuel economy figures in the competition. But it comes with the smallest fuel tank capacity of 19 gallons which helps it deliver a maximum highway driving range of 342 miles on a full tank which is still the best for the class. None of the cars in the competition are known for offering great fuel efficiency. All the cars come with a prime focus on performance and that surely takes a hit on the fuel efficiency department. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC also returns better efficiency compared to the Bugatti Chiron. The Bugatti Chiron returns the least fuel efficiency in the competition. 

The iconic C-shaped styling on the side panels of the Bugatti Chiron also continues in the interior of the car. You can find the C-shaped design at multiple places in the interior of the car. But it is most evident at the center of the car in the area that separates the driver and passenger side of the Bugatti Chiron. The overall interior layout looks quite impressive for the Bugatti Chiron. It gets a sporty flat-bottom steering wheel for the driver. The sports seats are also pretty supportive and hold you well in place even at higher speeds when you are going around the corner. The quality of the material is top-notch and it uses some of the most premium materials you can get. The center console is made of a single piece of aluminum which gives it a beautiful look. 

The Bugatti Chiron comes with a decently spacious cabin for its class. But the space is limited for two passengers and it does take some effort to get inside the car. The cargo capacity is pretty limited for the Bugatti Chiron and there are only 2 cubic feet of space in the trunk of the Chiron. The Koenigsegg Jesko also comes with a spacious cabin for two passengers and the same applies to the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC. All these cars come with some of the best quality materials available in the industry. However, do not expect a very spacious and practical cabin with many storage spaces. 

Standout interior features:

• Leather and Alcantara upholstery
• Carbon fiber accents
• Single aluminum center console
• Automatic climate control
• Flat-bottom steering wheel
• Head-up display

2021 Bugatti Chiron Infotainment System

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron does not focus much on entertainment options for the passengers. The prime focus of the Bugatti Chiron is on the performance and the enthusiasts will not need much for entertainment. The Bugatti Chiron does not even come with an infotainment screen for a formality like some of its rivals. The Bugatti Chiron is an exceptional car in terms of performance and quality of the interior but the infotainment aspect is not up to the mark. Since there is no infotainment screen, you can not expect Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity feature either. The Bugatti Chiron gets a trip computer and it also covers music lovers. It comes with a premium sound system that gives excellent sound quality. 

Standout infotainment features:

• AM/FM radio
• Media player
• Trip computer
• Bluetooth connectivity
• USB connectivity
• Premium sound system

The Bugatti Chiron comes with an aggressive and attractive exterior design that will appeal to any car enthusiast. The front of the car gets the iconic horseshoe grille in the center of the car. Every aspect of the car is designed keeping aerodynamics in mind. The quad LED projector headlights on both sides at the front of the car look very aggressive. When you move to the side of the Bugatti Chiron, you notice a C-shaped design that has to give the Bugatti Chiron its own identity from the side of the car. The rear of the car gets a massive spoiler and a set of beautiful LED taillights. You can also see a pair of two dual exhaust pipes at the rear of the car. The overall exterior lighting of the car looks quite attractive from the outside. 

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron is the longest car in the competition and it is also the widest and the highest of them all. The Bugatti Chiron is larger than its rivals in every dimension except the length of the wheelbase. The Koenigsegg Jesko is the second-longest car in the competition but it is the narrowest car when you look at the overall width. The wheelbase of the Koenigsegg Jesko is even shorter than the Bugatti Chiron with a small margin. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is the shortest car in the competition but it gets the longest wheelbase compared to its rivals. 

Standout exterior features:

• 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear
• Iconic Bugatti horseshoe grille
• LED headlights
• Active rear spoiler
• C-shaped side design
• Carbon fiber body

The criteria for judging safety completely change when you are talking about a hypercar. The safety of a hypercar can not be judged based on advanced driver assistance technologies as it is quite rare to see such features in these rare cars. The Bugatti Chiron is a hypercar that costs close to 3 million dollars so do not expect it to be crashed to check the safety ratings. Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the 2021 Bugatti Chiron for its safety ratings. Bugatti has strong claims on the safety of the Chiron and there is no reason to doubt them as Bugatti cars have been pretty safe so far. 

Safety features include:

• Carbon ceramic brakes
• Active rear wing
• Advanced airbags
• Seatbelt pre-tensioners
• Electronic stability control
• Rearview camera

2021 Bugatti Chiron vs. 2021 Koenigsegg Jesko

The Bugatti Chiron is known for its excellent performance and its high-speed capabilities. It managed to set the record for the fastest production car in the competition after its launch. But the Koenigsegg Jesko has crossed the record for the fastest production car with its top speed crossing 310 miles per hour. Both these cars are extremely powerful and offer one of the quicker performances in the segment. The Bugatti Chiron is a tad quicker than the Koenigsegg Jesko in the 0 to 60 mph sprint but the difference is hardly noticeable. But the higher speed of the Koenigsegg Jesko is noticeable while driving in the real world. The choice between the two cars depends on your preferences. 

2021 Bugatti Chiron vs. 2021 Pagani Huayra Roadster BC

The Pagani Huyara has been in the market for a while as a successor of the legendary Pagani Zonda. The Huayra Roadster BC is a more extreme version of the regular Huayra with lower curb weight and more power under its hood. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC comes with a significantly smaller and less powerful engine compared to the Bugatti Chiron. But due to its lower curb weight and better power-to-weight ratio, the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is not far behind the Bugatti Huayra in terms of acceleration. In fact, the acceleration figures of both these hypercars are pretty close. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC comes with a higher price tag and is available in lot less numbers as the production is limited to 40 units only. Again the choice boils down to which one appeals better to you. 

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron is a car that is the dream of car enthusiasts around the world due to its limited production, high performance, attractive exterior styling, and luxurious interior. No matter how well it performs in other areas but the biggest strength of the Bugatti Chiron is its performance. The Bugatti Chiron comes with a massive 8-liter 16-cylinder engine that produces almost 1480 horsepower. It is extremely quick with 0 to 60 mph acceleration taking only 2.2 seconds to complete the sprint. The top speed of the Bugatti Chiron is also quite impressive at more than 300 miles per hour but it is limited to 273 miles per hour. The exterior styling of the Bugatti Chiron is very attractive. The interior of the car comes with ample use of luxurious materials in the cabin. You also get a ton of customization options for the interior layout and exterior paint job of the car. With a price tag of nearly 3 million dollars, the 2021 Bugatti Chiron is an attractive choice for buyers who have the capability to spend such an amount on a car.
