    Italian supercar marque Mazzanti has snagged the person that was responsible for honing the driving dynamics of the Bugatti Chiron: Loris Bicocchi. Bicocchi has been assigned as Mazzanti’s new R&D chief. He will be responsible for the entire development phase for future cars from the marque. The 59-year-old Italian has plenty of experience under his belt. Bicocchi started his career with Lamborghini in the 1970s and became a test driver for the brand in the late ‘80s. It was at this point he was sought out by the Romano Artioli-led Bugatti to work on the EB110. He would then...

    Bugatti Chiron hill climb run is alive with the sound of turbo spools

    The Bugatti Chiron houses 16 cylinders and four turbochargers. Let that sink in for a moment. Now, after contemplating that, it gives purpose to this video: the Chiron is really loud. It's in your face, the turbos are unapologetic, and the car doesn't care to keep its ego in check. The 8.0-liter...

  • Bugatti Chiron first drive

    When a Bugatti Chiron fires up, the sound it produces is loud—surprisingly, dramatically, crazy loud, even while idling at a mellow 650 rpm. Sixteen cylinders, eight liters, four turbochargers and six exhaust pipes can do that. But if you’re lucky enough to be manning the driver's seat, there’s a hermetic seal between you and the titanium exhaust’s gloriously raucous howl, not to mention the peering cell phones and hungry eyes you’ll likely encounter in the wild. The Chiron means many things to many people. For some, it’s merely the sequel to the Veyron...

    2017 Bugatti Chiron preview

    In the supercar world, a V-8 will cut it, a V-10 is better, and a V-12 is the most desired engine.
