490 km/h: Bugatti Sets New Speed Record
The Chiron model achieved the record speed.
In Germany, driver Andy Wallace set a new speed record in a Bugatti Chiron, reaching 490.484 km/h.
The standard Chiron can reach 420 km/h, but this version of the car had a number of differences. The engine was upgraded from 1,500 to 1,600 horsepower, and the tyres were specially developed by Michelin.
For better aerodynamics, the bodywork was modified, and to reduce weight, everything superfluous was removed from the car, including the passenger seat.
The previous record was held by the Koenigsegg Agera RS hypercar, which reached 446.97 km/h.
Earlier, Fast & Furious star Kevin Hart was hospitalized with a spinal injury after a serious car accident.
