Bugatti Chiron Specifications
The Bugatti Chiron’s quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine produces an astonishing 1,479 HP and 1,600 Nm of torque. Although this engine generates over 3000 HP, due to thermodynamics, half of that is lost as heat. The remaining power, which is still considerable, is directed to all four corners through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
