Watch How Fast the Bugatti Chiron Accelerates
The Bugatti Chiron is definitely fast on paper, but its acceleration run in this clip looks mind-numblingly quick.
A video has surfaced showing the Chiron’s speedometer as the car accelerates to 218 mph (351 km/h) and it’s amazing just how fast it blasts off. The video’s description was quick to say this isn’t any sort of scientific test since no timing gear was used, but it appears the Chiron can hit 200 mph from a standstill in just 16 seconds. Drivetribe also noted there was wheel spin on the “less-than-perfect” surface.

But one point is clearly made and that’s that the Bugatti Chiron is living up to expectations. In fact, there’s a good chance it’s actually faster than this with ideal conditions, but it’s a good indication of just how well it performs in a real-world scenario.

Doesn't seem that fast until you notice the speedometer goes to 500 km/h...
Still, 0-60 in 3.01 seconds is not hypercar fast these days... Maybe they were loafing along.
