    Love the carbon details, especially the wiper blade and inside the headlights!

    Stunning cars...really funny, I used to loathe the Veyron, then from one day to the next really appreciated it...but the Chiron is just next level. So damn usable, it really shouldn't be possible with 1500hp on tap but here we are...

    Recently I saw a Chiron near to Molsheim in Alsace.
    I guess it was a factory car ( silver)
    Car was parked and I spent ten minutes to details it.
    I have to say the finish is just outstanding..
    Very impressive.
    Pictures don’t do it justice at all.

    Good save!
    Looks like a beautiful track!
    Noticed you are a fellow Korean
    만나서 반가워요
    Also would love to hear your experience tracking the TDF… I have a Bianco Italia TDF and have yet to track it.

    It really is an amazing car. Certainly not as engaging as a T50 would be (as an extreme example), but in a fantasy garage a Pur Sport or Super Sport would easily have room in for me...It's funny as you and I had this discussion the other day about lightweight vehicles being much better but of the Chiron, it's very different...I wouldn't tire of it easily! Maybe because it's an entirely different ethos, it's more luxury focused in the way it looks, it's build, it goes..like a Bentley on steroids.

    I'm sure you've seen it before but the Harry's Garage video on the Pur Sport is amazing. I'm hooked on this car.

    Yep
    Funny that we discussed about T50 some days ago.
    At first I didn’t understand the Bugatti revival ( VW).
    But as you summarized the concept perfectly ( a Bentley on steroids) I have to say this car is just an amazing technological achievement.
    To combine such power brutality with an incomparable refinement is a very difficult target to achieve.
    They managed it without a doubt.

    I would say
    Don’t do ESC off.

    Car is twitch and edgy when recovering from the slide and also like you have noticed, car spins instantly.

    It has funny front and rear grip balance or I would say spicy handling.
    Front bites up to certain point until rear let go. Dangerous trait for modern standard.

    One has to respect and treat this funny handling as its own character and be gentle with throttle. Otherwise, it will be a very unbalanced and ill mannered car for anyone who can not contain himself.

    Like I said multiple times. I love tdf for this ‘bite your head off’ character all the more.
