To harness the power in a more lateral way, the gearbox has been modified and uprated. It now features ratios that are 15 percent shorter. That allows for faster acceleration. But does decrease the Chiron Pur Sports' top speed. That said, it's still ballistically fast at the top end.

The problem with having an 8.0-liter W16 engine onboard is that it needs feeding. And if all the power gets used frequently, then the amount of gasoline that it chugs down is alarming. Just 8mpg is quoted for the city. With 13mpg for a highway. Good luck matching those.

On top of its thirst for fuel, the Bugatti Chiron Sport also likes to consume a lot of air. Luckily air is free. As 60,000 liters of it get pumped through the engine every minute. The engine also needs 800 liters per minute of water to pass through its system to keep itself cool.
