The dyno test, conducted by Steve Hamilton, revealed some surprising results. Initially, the Chiron Super Sport produced an impressive 1442 horsepower at the wheels. When accounting for the typical transmission losses of about 14%, this equates to approximately 1675 horsepower at the crank. However, The Chiron Super Sport is equipped with a special key that activates its maximum performance mode, which unleashes even more power. In this mode, the engine delivered 1457 horsepower at the wheels, i.e. 1692 horsepower at the crank. Yet on the final run, they ran the car in fourth gear instead of third, and the results were astounding. A jaw-dropping 1492 horsepower at the wheels i.e. 1734 horsepower at the crank, 155 more than Bugatti’s original claim. To put that into perspective that is only 41 horsepower than Bugatti claims there is in the Tourbillon. Small wonder this car broke the 300mph barrier back in 2021. The Germans have always had a history of underestimating their performance car figures and the Chiron Super Sport is living proof of that. It shows us all why Bugatti is still the king of performance, and why the likes of McLaren, Ferrari, and even Koenigsegg can’t quite match them. The only question now, what’s the actual horsepower output of the Tourbillon? Probably more than 2000hp at this rate.Source: The Hamilton Collection
