Here's A Bugatti Chiron Growling Its Way Around The Nurburgring

Bugatti’s W16 makes a peculiar sound, doesn’t it? Almost like a V8 eating another V8. It’s a noise we’re fond of regardless, and we get ample opportunity to listen to the 16-cylinder unit growl during this Chiron Nordschleife testing footage.

It doesn’t look to be going hugely quickly all the way through the video, and indeed the Chiron lets a Porsche Panamera through at one point, while being chased down by a 911 GT3.

As to why this Chiron is at the Nurburgring, we can’t be sure. We can’t see Bugatti going for any PR-friendly lap times any time soon - the heavy Chiron isn’t really the car for that, after all. It could perhaps be any early test mule for a future Chiron variant - perhaps a successor for the Veyron Supersport.
