It could have been one of the highlights at this year’s Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) had it not been cancelled for the ubiquitous Corona virus that killed off the presentation of the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport. Thus the presentation of this even more sporty model from Molsheim unfortunately only took place on the internet and many car enthusiasts were denied a view of the new hypercar. Even before the GIMS, there was a rumor that the French manufacturer was planning to upgrade the model series with an even sharper version after producing half of the planned contingent of 500 Chiron. With the Pur Sport, Bugatti now presents a vehicle designed even more consistently for driving pleasure on race tracks and winding country roads than the Chiron Sport shown in Geneva two years ago.

To achieve this goal, the development department in Molsheim has extensively modified the Chiron. Although the changes in design are aimed exclusively at optimising downforce and thus road grip, they also make the Pur Sport appear more crouched on the tarmac and more aggressive. For example, a front splitter that extends far forward limits the front bumper at the bottom, which is dominated by the enlarged air intakes and the enlarged horseshoe grille in the center. At the same time, these also provide visual cooling for the W16 unit. The additional air vents on the fenders enhance the impression and make the Chiron Pur Sport look tense like a predator ready to leap. Compared with a normal Chiron, the headlights, each consisting of four LED rectangles, are angled slightly and a narrow air inlet is integrated underneath them, providing an air curtain on the wheels. The new design of the two-color paint in horizontal division brings the supercar visually closer to the road, with the lower part in bare carbon so they seem to merge with the asphalt. The biggest changes, however, are to be found in the rear section, where a large, 1.9-meter-wide fixed wing is dominant. Its angled brackets form a visual ‘X’ together with the struts in the rear bumper and are intended to remind us of science fiction and elements from motorsport. At the same time, dispensing with the hydraulic control of the normally extendable wing reduces the weight by 10 kilograms.

Together with the newly designed diffuser, the aerodynamic engineers achieved a significant improvement in downforce. In the center of the rear bumper is the innovative exhaust system made of high-temperature-resistant titanium, which is manufactured usind a 3D printing process. This guarantees minimal wall thickness and thus contributes to weight savings in the same way as the completely newly developed magnesium rims do. Each of these is four kilograms lighter than those of the normal Chiron and optionally equipped with so-called Aero Wings. Mounted in a ring shape, these ensure optimum ventilation of the wheel arches and also improve the aerodynamics of the Pur Sport. Bugatti has developed the appropriate tire for these new rims in cooperation with Michelin, the Michelin Sport Cup 2 R, which is produced exclusively for Bugatti. Thanks to its new tire design and a modified rubber compound, this tire offers 10 percent more lateral acceleration. The size for the Pur Sport is 285\/30 R20 on the front axle and 355\/25 R21 at the rear.<\/p>\n\n\n
