Bugatti Mistral! 282mph… With No Roof

[@OisinHogan-x4d]

One of the greatest phrases ever is "245mph in someone else's hypercar." Good Ollie!

[@lamboking8able]

Bugatti finding a way to hold 270+ with no roof is fitting and still insane

[@futuramanut]

I think Bugatti will always have ICE. They will use e-fuels and hybrid tech in the future to remain. Crazy engines are Bugatti.

[@TheMitch12356]

Bugatti may not even do e-fuels. Bespoke manufacturers selling below 1000 cars a year are exempt from emissions regulations pass 2035. Porsche needs it due to their high production numbers.

[@unknown_personW]

​@@TheMitch12356 Or create a new brand and split their low-mid class cars and top of the line halo cars.

Ya know how your hair gets kinda messy in a regular convertible? I suppose the Bugatti convertible just kinda messes up your head as it rolls off the bodywork.

[@Redlineshadow29]

The only solution to beat 500km/h now for Bugatti is either make 2000hp or drop the weight further

[@ChubiPanda]

At high speed weight impacts less. Aero and power matter more.

[@thatparticulargame6001]

@@ChubiPanda weight impacts less lol, according to who you know if more mass is in it, more energy you are going to need right

[@Arthur2_right]

Yeah they need to make slim version/road version of Bolide and add longer gear ratio

[@Your_Paramour]

@@thatparticulargame6001 The power required to overcome the weight of the car increases linearly with velocity, where as the power required to overcome drag is cubic with velocity. The increase in tyre friction as a result of higher weight is massively dwarfed by the aero drag.

On slick too maybe

[@yusheelsukram7917]

Now that was epic

[@paulolange3462]

From 230km/h to 330km/h in like 5s. That's just insane

lol hearing the guy talk about Bugattis customers wanting these achievements but never actually pushing the car to the limits themselves is like having the worlds best cook but never eating a meal

Why Bugatti no longer has permission to use the old track?

Hopefully it has enough battery reserves to sustain that kind of acceleration for that amount of time.

[@AMGterror]

Would the Jesko absolute without the roof on count? Would be interesting to see what that could do on the same track 😄🇸🇪

[@pyroslev]

Amazing as it gets considering some people can't do 30 in a rain shower. But... While I love records like this, I prefer a record set on an actual road. Do it in the wild and earn it properly. Hennessy does it this way and to me, that's worth more even if it is not 282 mph. Amazing job, now do it on a real road to prove it.

[@Buran01]

Didn't you saw the video of a Veyron owner putting his car at 417 Kph in the autobahn open to trafic like it was just his own private track?

When you pass under the bridge, it causes issues with Aero, meaning the car wants to skip around at 200mph+ 😨 😱 💩

[@michaelschneeberger9512]

Wonderful achievement! But please, pretty please, stop using "Kph" as it's not a proper unit of measurement for speed. Km/h is. Thanks so much ;)

[@Cloxxki]

Curious whether Tourbillon will go for a high top speed. Hybrid dependant so it would need to be quick to get there. Can it do two runs on a tank and charge its own battery?

[@ALMX5DP]

Yeah it’ll be interesting if the hybrid system is able to sustain that kind of necessary output for the 30-45 seconds that is required on the straightaway. The Tourbillon is supposed to have a 24kwh battery, but of course that is equivalent to only about 3/4 of a gallon of petrol. The Chiron uses about 1.4 gallons per minute at Vmax so it might just have enough based on that napkin calculation.

[@Almanacplanting-g6o]

Bugatti left the Volkswagen Group in 2021 so they don't have permission to use it. This track isn't bad, 2.4 long mile straight road is still good but yeah not as good as the 5.4 straight mile road they used before
