Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport tire problems

Tires are one of the most important, if not the most important, part of a car. We can say that the life of the driver depends on the quality of the tires, and Bugatti seems to have a serious problem with them. According to some information, Bugatti will withdraw the Chiron Pur Sport model because after 2,500 miles (4,000 km), damage (cracks) appear on the tires. This can be very dangerous for the driver, especially if the car can reach a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h).

The tires that are causing the potential problem are the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R. The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport uses 21-inch rims wrapped in 355/25 R21 (rear) tires. The company has not yet found a solution to this problem. The only thing left for vehicle owners is to change their tires after 2000 miles (3,200 km) or 18 months.

The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is powered by a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine with 1,480 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1600 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. With a weight of 4450 lb it reaches 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds.

Tire replacement will be free of charge until a solution is found or a tire that does not have this problem is produced.

Bugatti EB 112 offered for sale

Every Bugatti model that appears on the market always attracts attention, and this is especially true of rare prototypes. In Germany, a very rare prototype of the Bugatti EB 112 series was offered for sale, the second of only three produced.

Although it was ordered on April 27, 1993, the car was delivered only in February 2000. It is believed that it has had only one owner so far, and the company that sells it claims that it is completely correct. It is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 450 hp (335 kW) and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 kph). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

Prior to joining the Volkswagen Group, the French supercar manufacturer was owned by Roman Artioli. He asked Giorgetto Giugiaro to design a four-door model inspired by the brand’s rich heritage. The result is EB 112 which, due to lack of funds, was produced in only three units. The first car was made by Pininfarina, while the remaining two were produced by the Monaco Racing Team, after the company joined the Volkswagen Group. The EB 112 was unveiled at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show.

The EB 112 is in perfect condition with chassis number # 39002 and 3,900 kilometers.

Bugatti Centodieci

The audience saw the Bugatti Centodieci prototype for the first time in 2019. The car is in the test phase, and only ten units of this limited edition supercar will be delivered to buyers in the middle of next year.

Since 2019, the Bugatti Centodieci has been in the development and testing phase in various climatic conditions around the world. The tests take place in the southwestern United States, and the last few photos show the Centodieci test model in the company of the Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport models.

The tough tests that Bugatti models undergo are nothing new for the famous car company. After testing at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius, Bugatti engineers equipped the production version of Centodieci with additional air vents that allow better cooling.

The Bugatti Centodieci is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine which delivers a total of 1578 hp (1,176 kW). It reaches 62 mph in just 2.4 seconds with a top electronically limited speed of 240 mph (380 km / h).

Before production begins, the car also needs to pass a long-term endurance test at high speeds. The test will take place on the famous Nardò test track. In addition, the test model needs to cover about 300,000 kilometers on European roads.
