Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Effortlessly Hits 217 MPH At Paul Ricard Track

Much like the Veyron before it, the Chiron has spawned numerous special editions. Some were only limited to visual changes while others brought more significant tweaks by featuring hardware upgrades. It's easy to forget the Pur Sport since the Divo, Centodieci, Super Sport 300+, and the one-off La Voiture Noire made the headlines more often than the track-focused derivative.

The corner-devouring W16 coupe is quite "slow" judging by its 218-mph top speed compared to an uncorked Super Sport 300+ that can hit 304 mph. That's because it has been reconfigured for quicker acceleration with 15-percent closer gear ratios at the expense of top speed. We can see the Pur Sport's blistering performance on a circuit by tackling Circuit Paul Ricard located near Marseille in France.
