Friends, this isn’t altered in any way. Actually, it’s a PS2. Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, valued at $7 million, flies elegantly.
Andy Wallace, a test driver for Bugatti who has competed in no less than 21 Le Mans 24 Hour races since 1988, is at the wheel (and won it once, in a Jaguar XJR-9).
He is also the person that clocked 304.773 mph in the Chiron Super Sport 300+ at Ehra-Lessien last year. Before production begins later this year, he is putting the Pur Sport through its paces at the Nardo test circuit in southern Italy.
Only 60 Pur Sports are being produced by Bugatti, and the first client vehicles will be delivered by the end of this year. In order to improve handling, Bugatti says it will appeal to drivers “who are aroused by the possibility of cornering in the lateral dynamics limit range” by stiffening the suspension, reducing the gearing, and sharpening the steering. Additionally, it is 50 kg lighter than a regular car and accelerates from 37 to 75 mph in around two seconds less time.
