The car is named in honor of the Monegasque driver, Louis Chiron.[8]

The main carryover piece will be the 8 litre W16 quad-turbocharged engine, though it is heavily updated. The Chiron has 1,103 kW (1,500 PS; 1,479 bhp) of power and 1,600 N⋅m (1,180 lb⋅ft) of torque starting from 2000 rpm. Like its predecessor, the Veyron, it has a carbon fibre body structure, independent suspension and AWD system.[9][10][11]
The Chiron will accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds according to the manufacturer,[12] 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in under 6.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (186 mph) in under 13.6 seconds. The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to 420 km/h (261 mph) for safety reasons.[13] The anticipated full top speed of the Bugatti Chiron is believed to be around 463 km/h (288 mph). Its predecessor (the Bugatti Veyron SS) makes almost 220 kW (300 bhp) less than the new Chiron, and although the Chiron's limiter gets it only to 420 km/h (261 mph), the speedometer gets up to 500 km/h (310 mph).[14]
