Under the hood is a quad-turbo 8. The purpose-built vehicle was worked on for six months together with chassis expert Dallara and tire manufacturer Michelin. It also meant that extensive modification to both performance and bodywork was needed, resulting in a car that's 10 inches longer than the standard Chiron Sport. Wallace says, "I don't think that's the v-max of the car, because it was still accelerating. At that speed, you cover a kilometer about every seven seconds.
Then, of course, at the other end you need some distance — not necessarily time, but quite a lot of distance — to get the car down to the right speed for the banking. Oh, and there's apparently a jump on the Ehra-Lessien test track that they only found out about when the car went around the track. Today's Top Stories. View Photos. The new Super Sport version of the Bugatti Chiron has horsepower and reaches a claimed mph. It's similar to the Super Sport car that was created to commemorate the record-breaking mph Chiron.

RPM stands for revolutions per minute, and it measures how fast the engine is spinning. In general, the faster an engines spins, the faster it burns air and gas, and as a result, the more power it makes.
A smaller engine with smaller and lighter parts can spin faster with more efficiency, but has potential to wear out quicker from the speed than a bigger engine with a lower RPM. All of this has to be taken into consideration when choosing an engine for speed records. But in the end, the biggest obstacle to miles per hour is air. The drag, or air resistance, that a car encounters as it approaches this speed, can be compared to what you encounter when swimming.
Christian Von Koenigsegg: The resistance increases in square. So going from to is basically, roughly calculated, double the energy that you're running into.
At around miles per hour, you get more into airplane aerodynamics where you're actually compressing the air in front of the vehicle, and it takes different routes over the bodywork than at slower speeds. Narrator: That's why the goal of engineers when designing a hypercar's body is to eliminate as much drag as possible. No car does this better than automaker Koenigsegg's upcoming Jesko Absolut.
Based on the company's Jesko hypercar, the Absolut is estimated to reach as much as miles per hour. Similar to Bugatti's record-breaking Chiron, it has a longer flattened tail. This makes sure air flows off the car's rear seamlessly. Without it, you have a higher chance of separation in the airflow, which would only add to the drag. The car also improves other forms of resistance. The standard Jesko features a massive rear wing to increase downforce for those tight corners on the track.
