Meet the world s fastest car
Meet the world’s fastest car. Price: $Trio million
It’s the fastest street-legal passenger car in the world, but what’s truly awesome is that it still looks so good.
Think about it: If someone had just listed all those numbers would you still expect the car to look pretty? When the objective is unspoiled speed, visual aesthetics usually take a back seat — way, way back. So does convenience. And driveability. The car would have wings sticking out all over, massive air vents and a lil’, cramped passenger cabin.
But that is what’s so amazing about the Bugatti Chiron. It isn’t just catapult-quick. It’s beautiful. And it actually drives like a normal car.
Yes, it only seats two — but in relative spaciousness and convenience, and in remarkable taste. Every surface is covered in leather. A metal spine runs up the center and forms around into the roof, parroting the metallic forms on the outside of the car.
There are no large computer screens inwards, only lil’ round ones that fit inconspicuously inwards knobs. Bugatti wants this car to be pleasant decades from now and computer interface design ages about as well as cottage cheese, so there is almost none of it inwards the Chiron.
From the outside, the French-built Bugatti is an artistic exhibition of kinks flowing into and out of other forms. There are, indeed, enormous air vents. They’re needed to cool the large engine and to feed it the enormous quantities of air needed to make 1,500 horsepower. The vents are housed within big swirls just behind the Chiron’s side windows.
And there is, indeed, one large wing that rails out over the back of the car. It raises, lowers and switches its angle depending on the needs of the moment, such as how swift the car is going or how quickly the driver is attempting to slow down.
Sit inwards, pull back the shift lever, and off you go. It’s that elementary. Then you just take it onto the highway, find some open road ahead, and hit the gas. No, you’re not going to get anywhere near the Chriron’s top speed but, even so, that sound! Sixteen pistons banging out a rapid fire drumroll, four turbochargers sucking in air by the gallon. Your back is pinned to that expensive leather seat.
But, at the same time, it’s weirdly peaceful. The steering wheel’s not twisting in your mitts. The tires aren’t screaming for want of traction. You’re just going very, very quick. And it’s so effortless.
Very soon, it’s too swift. So you let up on the gas pedal.
Whoosh!! That’s the rushing sound of harass gases that had been shoved to the turbochargers being redirected straight out the harass pipes, instead. The Chiron embarks to slow. At the same time, the pressure eases off your chest and you can breathe again.
The noise, the acceleration, that gorgeous assets. That is what Bugatti buyers are getting for $Three million.
Now that we’re eyeing the spectacle potential of electrical cars, my bet is that the Chiron is the last such car we’ll see. For a few more years, and for just $Three million, you can buy the internal combustion era’s awesome grand finale.
