Bugatti hits 304.77mph in a Chiron

"Top Gear can exclusively reveal that Bugatti has smashed through the 300mph barrier.
On 2 August 2019, Andy Wallace hit a vmax of 304.77mph in a pre-production vehicle of a new Bugatti Chiron derivative at Ehra-Lessien, becoming the first hypercar to break 300mph. "

It's a "milestone" or "achievement", not a "barrier".

Seesh, so many people use "barrier" for completely arbitrary values of human-defined arbitrary units, like "1 Ghz barrier", "300 mph barrier", "8 core barrier"
Even the "sound barrier" is somewhat wrong, since there are so many things that go faster than that (and did so quite for some time - E.g.: bullets)

In this particular case it's simply a round number for imperial units...
If it goes just a tiny bit faster will it "break a barrier" again at 500Km/h ?
Or if some car in the future goes even faster, will it break then 140 m/s "barrier" ?

The only barrier is when the car smashes into a concrete wall and turns into a fireball. That is indeed a barrier.

Anyway, /rant over.

Great achievement. I guess... Not that Bloodhound SSC hasn't traveled on wheels at over 1000mph two years ago...

Koenigsegg, bring it ! Time to grab the "record" back

That people, is fast! Wow!

Easy there Sheldon Cooper... don't be so literal.

The bloodhound SSC isn't a production vehicle...and IIRC is powered by a rocket, not a W16 internal combustion engine with a few turbos on it.

aah that video, i stopped watching it as i got bored of it and it's only 1.27s long lol, they took all the fun out of it.

Has it? Haven't seen any evidence of the bloodhound doing that besides a lot of promotion about it being a '1,000MPH car'. Furthermore the project seems to be in administration.

Does the Chiron float any better than the Veyron?

Not sure if it's the fastest as they claim, but still it's fast....
It seems the Chiron is still faster.

Yeah well my Hemi 5.7L Truck will pull you around like a ragdoll. Speed aint shit if you need a tow!
Best not drive that car on any American roads it's too low to the ground it wont last 3 days!

I'll chime in saying I got my VW ID3 delivered the other day.

This car accelerates. Holy shit. Top speed is not impressive at 160km/h. But getting there in about 10 seconds? :rockout:

And without any noise? Its like a flying carpet, pretty neat.

Not the most comfortable sleep but yeah, the cabin and boot space is immense! Interior is a big step up from ICE cars, lots of space, no frills.

Watch for some news soon, about Rimac C_TWO.

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2021

Noice. I mean he did disrespect a 1970s XJ6 to get it done. Jaguar purists definitely wouldnt like it but its very very noice.

How many people in the world can say that they have a Jaguar thats a muscle car?? Cool factor is through the roof.

Yea, most electric cars can do 0-100 km/h (or 0-60 mph) really fast. In fact even some hybrids.

For racing it actually isnt bad, especially if that circuit would be really twisty, there brakes and acc is the king usually.

How far it can go on full charge?

X71200 · May 5, 2021

The ID.3 is not actually a fast EV, it's 0-100 is like 8 secs. Even though it's a rear wheel driven hatchback, VW kinda messed that car up in the speed department. Both the Mini electric and the Kona EV can pull it around 6.5 secs with good tires. It's pretty expensive too. Not really a great car IMO.

That Rimac is amazing, inside out. Both design and speed wise. They don't make a lot of them though, it's an extremely niche car.

Rimac is definitely good way to go..

Hammond could tell.

Cool cars, but I'll stick to my 2017 Subi WRX Sti with a Stage 2 tune @ 286kw and 600Nm torque on dyno + my 2009 Ducati 1098S Streetfighter.

that's a nice looking car too. I like it. nice choice. Europe gets the best cars. I'd rather have that over a Prius or Tesla to be honest. (fuel economy cars I mean Europe gets the best) I don't this car will come to USA sadly.

Is true, the ID3 version I have now is only the rearwheel drive one, there's a 4WD coming as well with bigger battery. And bigger price tag

I'll share the fact that with the tax regime I got this car on, I'm paying a mere 230 eur/month for full (private) usage (unlimited mileage except abroad, where I can deduct fuel cost from salary

) and whatever else I want to do with it. So that includes the whole shebang, including a personal charging point on the driveway. Could have waited for the better or another car but that wouldn't have been on 2020's tax...

The Kona... yeah. Did you ever sit in one? Old folks may like the interior... but man is that a trade off for the range and acceleration it has. Forget about space. Forget about a nice open view around you... Its like they made an effort to make it horrible and non-EV like. Its like a screen with massive bezels in 2021. You'd ask 'why?' If an unsuspecting kid is too small you might never see it, except in the rear view mirror after running over it, another great quality of this car. Not in a million years

Also tested a Tesla Model S, and a Hyundai Ioniq. The Ioniq has similar EV-like qualities to most others (not the Kona)... but then the range is crap. Model S... couldn't get it in time and would've been more expensive. Its a trade off and its only just now that the mid range cars are becoming more common, unfortunately.

But, go figure, if you order something now... they simply can't make it because there are no chips

Still, this is already enough for trafficlight drag racing, which is good fun and does seem to happen, people give that look

Been using the car for a few months now. We charge up to 80% to preserve the battery a bit; the range I get on display, which is already adjusted for our driving conditions, shows 280 KM. On 100% it gets about 320-340KM. We drop to about 230KM in worst possible conditions, that is: strong winds and 160km/h on the highway non stop. WLTP range officially is 420KM, I guess you need to be very anal about brake regeneration to achieve that and accelerate slower than old ladies. But I'm on the other end of the spectrum in that sense, so you can def get better range than I do now.

My range anxiety is gone. The range calculation is reassuringly precise.
