JAKARTA - There is no other satisfaction for high-performance car manufacturers if they can set records and make history on the units produced. One of the fiercest races in this class of manufacturers is creating the world's fastest car.

Currently, the fastest car title in the world is still owned by Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, which recorded an astonishing world record of 490,484 km/hour in August 2019.

The chiron Super Sport 300+ is a refinement of the Chiron Super Sport type with an aerodynamic design optimized to achieve outstanding speed performance.

The name "Chiron Super Sport 300+" was taken from the name of the famous driver of Monegasque Louis Chiron, and was designed by Achim Anscheidt with his team. The car was released on August 2, 2019 at a price of US$3.9 million at the time and was only produced in limited quantities, which was only 30 units worldwide.

The chiron Super Sport 300+ is powered by a W16 engine with a capacity of 8.0 liters equipped with four turbochargers, producing extraordinary power of 1578 stances, and capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/hour in a short time, only 2.4 seconds.

However, power without stability is dangerous, especially when it reaches speeds that have never been achieved by production cars before. However, this car design is the perfect combination of energy, powertrain, weight, and aerodynamics.

The chiron Super Sport 300+ has a 'long tail' of about 25 cm that increases aerodynamics by more than 40%. The air Curtains that adorn the front corner of the car drain excess air pressure to the side of the car. At the same time, the airways around the wheel arch and behind the front wheel direct excess air pressure from each wheel arch, reduce drag and create a slight negative number.

Each model of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ has exclusive carbon fibered body and Orange jet accents that symbolize extraordinary arrogance and resilience. The large use of carbon fiber is seen in the engine cover of the car, even in windshield removers, which contributes to the essential heavy savings to help these hypersport cars achieve outstanding performance.

"The history of Bugatti has recorded vehicles that became icons of its time. Type 35 is changing the world of racing, Type 41 Royale defines luxury, Type 57 SC sets new standards in design, and now there is the Chiron Super Sport 300+ which has managed to reach speeds that were previously considered impossible for production cars. Its achievements have confirmed it as a legend in Bugatti's history book, and we are very pleased to have seen all 30 units of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ handed over to some of our loyal customers," said Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles, in the company's media space in July last year.

All 30 units of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ have been handed over to their respective owners in July 2022. This is the unforgettable peak of Bugatti's achievements in the evolution of super cars.
