Overrated/overpriced fat boat - 2022 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport test figures - 0-60 2.2, 9.1@161 1/4 mile, 4587 pound curb weight
Is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport impressive? No. Now, BoostAddict.com will gladly explain why. For $4+ million dollars you are getting a heavy Veyron reskin. Yes, it's super fast out of the box and the strongest Chiron yet and that is about all there is to get excited about.
You can clown on this Chiron with a bolt on turbo kit for a Lamborghini Huracan. In a sports car over a thousand pounds lighter for a fraction of the cost with a better exhaust note to boot.
The Chiron makes all the mistakes the Veyron made. All that is appealing here is the status of being able to afford the Chiron. Anyone into performance is better off spending their money elsewhere.
Even if you have the cash, what is the point? A ton of money to have to fear a Tesla Model S Plaid from a light?
Ok, cool, sixteen cylinders (same as the Veyron), quad turbos (same as the Veyron), even fatter (the Veyron was already fat), and even more expensive.
Who does this impress? Certainly not people who know cars.
