The new Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport was
supposed to premiere at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show in March, yet with the
biggest car event of the spring cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the
French automaker took to the world wide web for the grand unveiling. Now, as
most countries have started relaxing their lockdown measures, Bugatti will
finally take it to the Swiss city, although it won’t be your run-of-the-mill
shipping job.
No sir, because the hypercar has embarked
on a European tour, which already started off in Paris, with a couple of more
stops en route to Geneva, including London and Hamburg.
Before moving on to the image gallery that
shows the Chiron Pur Sport in Paris near the Eiffel Tower, we will remind you
that production is limited to 60 units and assembly will commence in the second
half of the year. Pricing starts at €3 million (US$ 3.3 million), excluding tax,
and each Pur Sport features revised aerodynamics and a few lightweight
improvements.
A total of 1,479 HP are produced by the 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, which is a
signature feature of all modern Bugattis. In the Pur Sport, the sixteen-pot
features a recalibrated transmission and can be revved up to 6,900 rpm, up from
6,700 rpm in the standard Chiron.
