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

A Chiron has been spotted testing at the Nordschleife, filling the surrounding area with W16 noise

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.

The Chiron doesn’t even need to set a PR-friendly Nürburgring laptime, it’s already very well known and respected by those to whom appreciate the tech inside

As much as I’d alsp love to see a lap record set by the Chiron, I think it’s too heavy… But it’s got the straights to make up for the loss of time…

Lets say our ABC’s:
A Bugatti Chiron Destroying Everything Fast, Growling, Having Instant Joy Killing Laps, Making Nurburgring’s Ordinary Pace Questioned, Reaching Speeds That Ultrafast Veryon’s Wouldn’t; Xenial Yielding Zenith (of the car world)

Maybe it can’t carry enough fuel on board for a quick lap
