Not in the all important 0-10mph bit, we can thrash it in that

Garage List
Instructions to driver: Wait until you're back down to a safe 205mph before taking a hand off the wheel to celebrate!

Old news.

Anyone who travels regularly on motorways or dual carriageway will see a Mercedes Sprinter van doing that all day long. In heavy rain.

Not from the inside where you sit.

The Veyron and Chiron are also luxury cars you can cruise across Europe in. This thing appears to be a one trick pony.

If someone was giving them away and I had a choice, I’d take the Chiron every single time.

Boring.

Now if he'd slammed the brakes on from 331mph, that would have been interesting.

There's no doubt that the Bugattis are a class above overall, I was oversimplifying and sticking to purely looks. This looks aesthetically pleasing, neither of the Bugattis are lookers.

The tech in the Bugatti is probably a step above as well.

The surge increase at around 55secs and 220 odd mph was impressive. Some serious horsepower, 1750 horses to be exact.
