    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.

    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.

    GS reminds me old days.
    Lp640 kinda nostalgia.

    I totally disagree with whomever said it drives like Audi. Back in the days when supercars and sports cars are extremely uncomfortable, I can understand why they mentioned it feels like Audi because it is so civilized.

    but it is also misleading to say the car is like Audi. It is the opposite. Total sports car even today’s standard.

    Luxury but driving feels more raw and direct. Absorbs bumps poorly compared to modern cars, it feels crash when on poor surfaces but is by no means uncomfortable. On the contrary, it is sufficient enough to be raw to give a sports car vibe, a great vibe.

    Steering is direct but not over reacting and doesn’t follow the curves of the surface and also never busy. No button on steering wheel!!

    The sound! Well, nothing matches the uniqueness of it. Period.

    Have to drive it more but to sum it up, you can feel and touch every aspect of the car how much efforts and resources are poured into making. It is different league from every other cars I have driven. Chiron will stay in the garage for long long time I guess…
