Background Information
The Bugatti Chiron is a mid-engine two-seater sports car, designed by Bugatti Automobiles S.a.S in Germany, and manufactured in Molsheim France. The Chiron is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron, and shares the same name as the 1999 Bugatti 18/3 Chiron concept car.
The Chiron can reach speeds of around 233 - 236 mph, or 261 mph with a specific manufacturer key. However, the Chiron's engine is capable of pushing speeds of 310 mph but current production tires are not able to handle that much speed. For reference, most commercial airplanes take off at roughly 160 - 180 mph
