    Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Final Testing Includes 440 km/h Top Speed Runs

    Bugatti is in the final stages of testing the sleek Chiron Super Sport and although it has lost the ‘300+’ suffix, it is not what you would call slow.

    Previous tests saw the Chiron Super Sport hit “only” 380 km/h (236 mph) but now they have pushed it all the way to the electronically governed top speed of 440 km/h (273 mph). To accurately register all the relevant data and make last-minute tweaks, the peeps from Molsheim have fitted a prototype with approximately 100 additional sensors that record temperature, pressure, and other key information.

    As you can see in one of the images below the Bug turns into a bug killer at those sort of speeds.

    Bugatti did not just give the Chiron Super Sport a longer body and extra grunt from the quad-turbo W16 because it also makes use of a tweaked transmission. The final gear, 7th will not be selected until you hit a casual 403 km/h (250 mph). Thanks to the 1,577 hp (1,176 kW) being developed, the hypercar can “accelerate strongly” even after hitting the insane 400 km/h mark.

    If you were to test it to those sort of speeds you would find that 0 to 400 km/h takes just 28.6 seconds but before that, you will hit 100 km/h (96 mph) from standstill in just 2.4 seconds and 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) is dealt with in 12.1 seconds – a second quicker than the ‘regular’ Chiron.

    The Chiron Super Sport is limited to just 9 examples worldwide and as usual, all have already been spoken for.

    If you were lucky enough to secure one of these, you will need to part with €3.2 million before extras.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
