Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ Breaks the 300 mph Barrier

The Chiron Super Sport 300+ sets a new benchmark in hypercar speed and engineering.

In 2019, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ became the first production car to surpass the 300 mph mark, achieving an astonishing 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h). This record-breaking feat cemented Bugatti’s reputation for pushing the limits of automotive engineering and high-speed performance.

Quad-Turbo Powerhouse
At the heart of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ lies a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine, producing 1,577 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. This massive output allows the car to reach extreme speeds while maintaining control and stability, thanks in part to its specially designed longtail body.

Limited Production for Maximum Impact
Only 30 units of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ were built, making it an exclusive collector’s item. While the prototype shattered speed records, Bugatti limited customer versions to 273 mph to prioritize safety, proving that extreme performance can be responsibly managed.

Longtail Aerodynamics
The stretched “longtail” design of the Chiron is more than a visual statement—it improves aerodynamic stability at high velocities. Every curve and contour is meticulously engineered to reduce drag and increase downforce, ensuring that drivers can harness the immense power without compromising safety.

A Legendary Milestone
The Chiron Super Sport 300+ is not just a hypercar—it’s a historical milestone in automotive speed. Its record-setting run demonstrates what is possible when engineering, innovation, and ambition come together, securing its place among the fastest cars ever produced.
