To put things into perspective, the heaviest Caterham Seven you can buy now doesn't weigh more than 1,250 pounds before options. Specifically, the Chiron tips the scales at no fewer than 4,398 pounds, 1,713 pounds more than the Huayra BC. However, the French supercar is only two tenths of a second quicker from 0 to 60 mph, mostly because it's a lot heavier than the Pagani. With an upgraded quad-turbo, 8.0-liter W-16 engine rated at a whopping 1,479 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of twist, the Chiron is nearly two times more powerful than the Huayra BC. All told, Pagani claims that the BC's suspension system is 'the lightest and most effective ever applied to a road going hi-performance vehicle.'ĭeveloped to replace the ageing, yet already iconic Veyron, the Chiron is Bugatti's next record-setting supercar and one of the most powerful vehicles on the market. The uprights have been completely redesigned for reduced weight, increased rigidity, and enhanced responsiveness on the race track. The components are forged from HiForg, a high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloy used in the aeronautic industry, which is about 25 percent lighter than the suspension of the standard Huayra. Pagani also developed a special suspension system for the Huayra BC. Other enhancements in this area include new tripod axle drive shafts derived from endurance racing.

The new transmission, including the electronic differential, is also about 40 percent lighter that the previous unit. The gearbox features a new electro-hydraulic actuation system and new carbon-fiber synchronizers designed to increase precision and further reduce gearshift times. Another important change is in the transmission department, where Pagani implemented a new seven-speed automated manual developed by Xtrac.
