How Fast Is Bugatti Chiron?

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport hit 490 km/h in 2019 — the first production car to break 300 mph. At top speed, the tyres deform into a 3 mm oval shape, and burn through their lifespan in just 15 minutes of running.

A Bugatti Chiron at top speed wears through its tyres in 15 minutes — the rubber simply cannot withstand it longer.

• Faster than maglev trains
• Tyres last just 15 minutes at top speed
