The ultimate Top Trumps car: Bugatti's Veyron

 

• All new hypercar dubbed 'most powerful and fastest production car ever' unveiled at Geneva Motor Show
• First road car to produce 1,500bhp needs special tyres to handle the power and can reach 62mph in 2.5 seconds 
• Just 500 to be built with deposits already been taken for a third of them
• A 'Top Speed Key' is needed for the full 261mph, though Bugatti said it will go even quicker 

Bugatti's long-awaited successor to the Veyron has arrived, and the all-new Chiron not only looks outrageous it has performance figures that would embarrass F1 cars.

Officially launched on the eve of the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, it's been dubbed the 'world's most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car' to be built.

Based on the numbers, it will gazump everything else out there in a game of Top Trumps, with a 261mph top speed, 1,500bhp power output and a £1.9million asking price.

Blistering: Bugatti launched the Chiron, its long-awaited successor to the Veyron, at the Geneva Motor Show yesterday

That 1,500bhp is no mean feat for any car – Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes F1 car has a reported 900bhp – and is the only road-legal motor to have such an astonishing output.

It's produced by an 8.0-litre, W16-cylinder, quad-turbo engine featuring two-stage inter-cooling. 

Put into plain English, it's enough grunt to fire this Nasa-looking road shuttle from a standstill to 62mph in 2.5 seconds.

For this to happen you do need a special key, though, called the Top Speed Key – without it the Chiron will tap out at a top speed of 236mph. That's more than three times the national speed limit on a UK motorway, so barely pedestrian.

Even more frightening is that Bugatti calls the 261mph top speed as for 'road use' and believes it will go even quicker if the full power was unleashed. The highest speed listed on the Chiron's clocks is 500kph, equating to an eye-popping 310mph.

Planting all those horses into the tarmac requires some serious engineering knowhow as well as a permanent all-wheel drive system and bespoke tyres that were specially developed at an aerospace facility to endure the torment of all that power. 

Fantastic figures: The Chiron has top speed of 261mph, 1,500bhp power output and a £1.9million asking price

Luxury: The Chiron has been dubbed the 'world's most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car' to be built

Grunt: The Chiron's 8.0-litre, W16-cylinder, quad-turbo engine (left) featuring two-stage inter-cooling which can power the car from 0 to 62mph in 2.5 seconds. It even comes with its own luggage custom built to fit the front bay.

As well as being mind-meltingly fast, it will also be supremely exclusive, with just 500 being made in total at a rate of 50 to 65 models per year, Bugatti said.

And to match the other outrageous spec sheet figures, the price is no small digit either – Bugatti wants €2.4m for each one.

Wolfgang Dürheimer, Bugatti's president, said: “It is part of human nature to cross boundaries and set new records – to run 100 m faster than ever before, to fly even further into space and to enter new realms. 

'This striving is also our driving force at Bugatti. 

'The Chiron is the result of our efforts to make the best even better. 

'Bugatti has tested the limits of physics. 

'There is no area where we have not achieved significant improvements.' 

As well as being mind-meltingly fast, it will also be supremely exclusive, with just 500 being made in total at a rate of 50 to 65 models per year, Bugatti said.

Bugatti, said it plans to test the full potential of the Chiron's brute power by putting it up for a world speed record test – it could end the debate about the fastest car built, which is currently held by the Hennessey Venom GT with a 270.49mph top speed.

Even with a price tag like that you have to get an order in quick if you want one – the carmaker claims to have taken deposits of €200,000 or $250,000 for 180 Chirons already, way before the car officially goes on sale in autumn this year.

H.R. Owen is the only officially approved Bugatti dealer in the UK and is the only dealer officially approved to sell and service the Chiron and the Veyron. 

MORE MIND-MEDLING FACTS ABOUT BUGATTI'S NEW CHIRON HYPERCAR 

• The world's first production sports car with 1500 HP (at 6700rpm) – almost 300bhp more than the Veyron
• Maximum speed is 261mph with 0-62mph in less than 2.5 seconds
• The two main catalytic converters are six times as large as the unit fitted to an average family car
• The active surface of all six catalytic converters corresponds to an area greater than 30 football pitches
• The transmission has the largest, highest performance clutch fitted to a passenger car
• Monocoque chassis is as rigid an an LMP1 race car
• New braking system features Formula One technical modules
• The electrical system has the electromagnetic compatibility comparable to that of a military vehicle
• Bugatti emblem crafted from solid 970 fine silver and enamel
• More than 60,000 litres of air per minute are pushed through the engine
• In one minute, 800 litres of water are circulated through the engine
• Chiron has 10 radiators, the most sophisticated and highest performing cooling system fitted to a sports car

Exclusive: Just 500 Chirons will be built and Bugatti say deposits have already been taken for a third of them

Grand entrance: The new Bugatti is rolled out ahead of the 86th International Motor Show in Geneva

To reach the Chrion's incredible top speed of 261mph, the driver will first need to insert a special 'Top Speed Key' without which it will tap out at a still  awe-inspiring 236mph

The dealer's brand director, Anita Krizsan, has sold more Veyrons than anyone else in Europe and is one of a small number of people in the world to have experienced the full performance capability of the Veyron, doing so at the official Bugatti test facility in Italy.

She said: 'With only 500 due to be produced, the Bugatti Chiron is set to be a rare sight anywhere in the world. It is a real privilege, therefore, that H.R. Owen will be the only place in the UK that you will be able to buy the world's fastest, most powerful and most luxurious car.

'We can't wait to see the car arrive at our showroom in Berkeley Square in Mayfair when it is launched later this year.'

Bugatti, said it plans to test the full potential of the Chiron's brute power by putting it up for a world speed record test – it could end the debate about the fastest car built, which is currently held by the Hennessey Venom GT with a 270.49mph top speed.

AGENSI - SYARIKAT Ringing Bells menjual telefon pintar yang baru dilancarkan semalam pada harga serendah AS$7.30.

NEW DELHI – Sebuah syarikat kurang dikenali di India melancarkan telefon pintar dipercayai paling murah di dunia semalam untuk bersaing dalam pasaran yang kini didominasi telefon pintar berharga murah.

When the hunter becomes the hunted

Deadly boomslang snake becomes dinner for a mongoose after rodent sneaks up on it in tree

Armed with deadly venom capable of killing humans, the boomslang snake is a feared predator in the wild.

But the tables were well and truly turned when this unsuspecting reptile was ambushed by a mongoose.

The boomslang was resting in a tree in Namibia's Etosha National Park when the mongoose crept up and went in for the kill.

Ambushed: A mongoose climbs a tree and creeps up on a deadly boomslang snake as it prepares to go in for the kill in Namibia

Tables are turned: Armed with deadly venom capable of killing humans, the boomslang snake is a feared predator in the wild

Sensing blood: The mongoose clambers onto the snake and edges closer and closer to the serpent's head

After climbing the tree, the mongoose clambered onto the snake and edged closer and closer to the serpent's head.

Slithering in vain, the snake tried to shake the mongoose off.

But unable to move, it wasn't long until the mongoose got close enough to take a bite and sank its teeth into its prey.

The images were taken by Elana Erasmus, from Pretoria in South Africa. 

In its sights: Slithering in vain, the snake tries to shake the mongoose off, but to no avail

Predator to prey: The dramatic encounter was captured by South African photographer Elana Erasmus in Etosha National Park in Namibia

Elana, 48, was on a guided safari at the game reserve in Nambia when she saw the encounter about to unfold. 

She said: 'We were on our way back to camp after the morning's photography session when our guide spotted a slender mongoose attacking a boomslang in a tree next to road.

'We realised immediately that this was a very special sighting.

'Our cameras were already tucked away in their dust covers and we were frantically trying to get our equipment out and ready.

'The mongoose would pursue the boomslang, continuously biting it on its head while the boomslang tried in vain to get away from its attacker.' 

Fatal blow: Eventually, the mongoose gets close enough to take a bite and sink its teeth into its prey

'Special sighting': Elana Erasmus, 48, was on a guided safari at the game reserve in Nambia when she saw the encounter about to unfold

She added: 'At times, the boomslang would curl itself around the slender mongoose in an attempt to defend itself or possibly to kill it with a snake bite.

'But it was very clear that the slender mongoose was the predator and that this time, the snake was the prey.

'A few times the mongoose would fall out of the tree just to clamber back to continue its relentless attack on the boomslang.

'After a while the boomslang looked tired and worst for wear. It was clear that the mongoose had the upper hand.' 

Mrs Erasmus said: 'After a while the boomslang looked tired and worst for wear. It was clear that the mongoose had the upper hand'
