'@@ -1,0 +1,1 @@ +The Continental coupe was again redesigned and quickly became a sales success, spawning a convertible version. Later that year this relationship created a conflict when Volkswagen acquired both marques, but both German automakers reached an agreement that saw VW handing over control of Rolls to BMW in 2003, while keeping Bentley and the Crewe factory. The'90s brought more distinctive models into the fold, like the redesigned Continental coupe, new Azure convertible and the new Arnage sedan, the latter replacing the dated Mulsanne. Soon a four-door version of the Continental, the Flying Spur, debuted, followed in 2011 by the Mulsanne flagship sedan and the Bentayga SUV in 2016. Through the 2000s, that VW ownership allowed Bentley to help expand expand its model range and improve overall quality. In 1998 BMW began supplying engines to both Bentley and Rolls-Royce brands.<br><br>Accurately, too, which is always a confidence booster. A squeeze of the throttle sends you surging down the road with the insistence of an avalanche. It feels a size smaller than it is. Its weight and that endless plateau of torque mean its not a flighty, fighty machine in the style of a P1 or LaFerrari, but it manages to feel both planted and calmly agile. The steering is extremely well-judged in terms of response, so you’re soon guiding the Chiron instinctively. The problem, if you can call it such, is the range and accessibility of the performance.<br><br>The Chiron experience is dominated by its engine. The step-off from rest is smooth, control weights are good, and the gearbox, if left in D, shifts up at low revs and makes the Chiron a relatively relaxing car to drive. Even at low speeds, the 8.0-litre W16 engine whooshes and growls and threatens, although because Bugatti applies VW-group standards to the Chiron, it's actually impeccably behaved. Its ride quality is reasonable. There are numerous different drive modes; one that maintains a good enough ride quality – although it feels firmer to us than, say, a McLaren P1 or a Ferrari 488 GTB – and two more that lower your body and stiffen the suspension for either higher-speed motorway work, or if you intend to exploit the handling. And body control is good whichever mode you place the Chiron in. Not just are those modes stiffer, they're a touch lower, which risk grounding the Bugatti's nose on speed bumps and the like.<br><br>Its steering is at its most pleasing in this normal mode too, with good weighting, pleasant self-centring and an all natural, easy feel. ecause of its kerbweight the Chiron feels less agile than a McLaren P1, or possibly a Porsche 918 Spyder, but in a straight line there's without doubt it is faster than both. Yes, it's at its tightest in the ‘Handling'mode, but we never found it wanting regardless of set-up. Despite some trickery with the turbochargers, two are disabled at low revs and accelerator inputs in an attempt to lessen turbo lag – there is a delay between you requesting power and you getting it.<br><br>Of course there’s tons of grip and unshakable traction - anything less would be extremely negligent given the power and torque on-tap - but it’s the fact you now know how much you’re using and how much is left that marks the Chiron out as something special. Down to the nitty gritty, then. With the Veyron it was almost as though Bugatti skipped this all-important aspect, such was the focus on hitting those once-incredible power and performance benchmarks, and making sure it was reliable and drivable. This time around Bugatti knew the Chiron had to back-up the numbers with more feeling and emotion. Pretty much straight away you sense the connection and detail through the steering.<br><br>Still, the Chiron does get a function of all hypercars, which have a bonnet area filled up with radiators or electric motors. Sound quality is good nevertheless the hi-fi requires input from a portable device. But because weight reduction reaches reduced, the leather isn't mounted onto soft foamy surfaces, thus leaving the Chiron quite loud. Surfaces are finished in fine quality leather or aluminium – there's an lack of plastics, and where a material seems like a certain material, you may be that it is that material. When it comes to infotainment, there's an audio system and a vacation computer only.

The resulting figures are 1479bhp at 6700rpm and 1180lb ft of torque between 2000 and 6000rpm, considerable increases on even the range-topping Veyron Super Sport. The recent Chiron Super Sport 300+ took things further still, breaking the 300mph barrier primarily through the use of new bodywork designed for outright speed. '
