The Bugatti Chiron Special Edition prototype set a production speed record on September 4 this year, driven by British driver Andy Wallace at a speed of 490.48 km / h on the German Ehra-Lessien circuit, but this may not be its real Due to tire restrictions, if there are more suitable tires, the top speed of the Bugatti Chiron Special Edition prototype may be even higher.
Michelin and Bugatti are working together to develop a carbon fiber tire specifically for the Bugatti Chiron Special Edition. It is reported that in order to test the tire's bearing capacity, Michelin used an aircraft to test it to ensure that the tire was traveling at a speed of 500 km / h. According to testers, you can feel noticeable noise and vibration before the tire is about to explode. So far, no final test results have been announced for this tire.
