Dyno testing shows that Bugatti's Chiron Super Sport is more powerful than advertised.
Bugatti recently strapped its Chiron to a dynamometer and the results put to rest any doubts of the horsepower ratings of the company's hypercars., whose official output is 1,578 hp, or 1,600 ps in the metric horsepower figures Bugatti uses.
The output at the wheels was measured at 1,301 ps, which is equivalent to 1,282 hp. The parasitic losses of the drivetrain here measure close to 20%, which is high but not unreasonable for a car with a complex transmission and all-wheel-drive system like the Chiron Super Sport.Dyno tests are notorious for producing results which can vary based on a number of factors including the design of the dyno itself, which is why we've seenduring dyno testing.
The dyno can be adjusted to suit different wheelbases, and with maximum braking power of 1,609 hp per roller, speeds of almost 300 mph can be simulated. At such speeds, a car would be faced with a lot of high-speed wind. As a result, the dyno also features a huge fan with a rotor measuring 6.33 feet in diameter. It's able to shift approximately 10.5 million cubic feet of air per hour.
