Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: The 2019 Speed Demon That Redefined Automotive Extremes

Unveiled in 2019, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ shattered the boundaries of human perception, not just as a supercar but as a mechanical embodiment of speed itself. With a verified top speed of 490.484 km/h (304.773 mph), this limited edition (just 30 units worldwide) marked a new milestone in automotive history—proving that Bugatti’s obsession with velocity knows no limits.

 

Beneath its aerodynamically honed body lies an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, a masterpiece producing a mind-blowing 1,600 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Super Sport 300+ catapults from 0-100 km/h in under 2.4 seconds, though its true prowess reveals itself at terminal velocity. The W16’s four turbos deliver seamless power across the rev range, while an upgraded intercooling system and reinforced drivetrain prevent overheating during record-breaking runs.

 

Bugatti’s engineering marvel extends to aerodynamics. A lengthened body (30 cm longer than the standard Chiron), active rear wing, and sculpted underbody reduce drag while generating optimal downforce. The Super Sport 300+ features a "Top Speed" mode that lowers the ride height, firms the suspension, and adjusts aerodynamic elements to minimize air resistance. Inside, the cabin balances luxury with functionality: carbon-fiber bucket seats, a digital dashboard displaying speed metrics, and premium leather trim—all designed to withstand the G-forces of near-500 km/h driving.

 

The Super Sport 300+ isn’t just a car; it’s a technological manifesto. Every component, from the titanium exhaust to the carbon-ceramic brakes, is engineered for extreme performance. In August 2019, test driver Andy Wallace piloted a pre-production model to 490.484 km/h on Germany’s Ehra-Lessien test track, officially entering the "300 mph club"—a feat once thought impossible for a road-legal vehicle. For the 30 owners, this Bugatti isn’t a pursuit of speed; it’s the physical realization of speed itself—a rolling testament to human innovation and Bugatti’s unrivaled mastery of automotive engineering.
