I saw a Bugatti at the auto show, which came out five years earlier than Veyron and had CHIRON in its name.
When it comes to Bugatti, I believe many fans should know this car. Now Bugatti Veyron has been replaced by Bugatti Chiron, becoming a past tense. Recently, a friend saw an interesting Bugatti supercar at the auto show, which came out five years earlier than Bugatti Veyron, and the name of the car also had the word CHIRON.
Fans who often pay attention to Bugatti should not be ugly. The body design of this Bugatti supercar has many shadows of Bugatti supercar now. However, whether it is from Bugatti Veyron or Bugatti CHIRON, it can be said that they all evolved from the design style of the car.
It turns out that this is a Bugatti EB 18/3 CHIRON model from Bugatti. This car is a concept model introduced by Bugatti in 1999, and the quantity is very rare, which laid the design style for the subsequent Bugatti Chiron and Veyron. Fans who know Bugatti Veyron should know that Bugatti Veyron is a super-running model launched by Bugatti in 2004, and this Bugatti EB 18/3 Chiron was launched in 1999, which shows how strong Bugatti’s super-running design foundation is.
Although it is a super-running work in the 20th century, the power of this Bugatti EB 18/3 CHIRON is unambiguous, and it is also equipped with the same large-displacement engine as Bugatti Veyron and Chiron. Bugatti EB 18/3 Chiron is equipped with a W18 engine, which can explode 555 horsepower and 630N.M torque. It is worth mentioning that the engine weighs 315KG, and 18/3 refers to the design of 18 cylinders and 3 rows.
Not to mention 20 years ago, such a power combination is definitely a super-running model even now, and even worse, it was in 1999. Although this Bugatti EB 18/3 Chiron model was not mass-produced immediately after it was launched, it still paved the way for the later Bugatti Veyron.
Nowadays, this Bugatti EB 18/3 Chiron can only be seen in auto shows or automobile museums. After all, the quantity is really rare, and it is of great commemorative significance, which is equivalent to a kind of art that is not for sale. There is not much information about the price of the car, and it is estimated that Bugatti did not intend to sell the car at all.
