so you recon your mobo uses a lot of fuel ....

BUGATTI CHIRON:

It can drink 7.4 single-shot glasses of petrol a second, just beating the consumption rate of an 18-year-old in Magaluf.

Flat out, it can empty its 100-litre tank in 9min.


Chiron’s quadturbo W16 engine produces 185bhp per litre. With 8.0 litres in total, the final figure stands at 1479bhp. That’s 492bhp more than the Veyron. It has 1179lb ft in total, to give 591lb ft per tonne. That dwarfs even the Ferrari 488 GTB, with a ‘measly’ 211lb ft per tonne from its twin-turbo 3.9-litre V8.

Despite its 1995kg weight, the Chiron can cover 0-62mph in under 2.5sec, surge past 124mph four seconds later and hit 186mph in under 13.6sec.

The Chiron has a top speed of 261mph, which is 7mph faster than the Veyron’s terminal velocity and 11mph faster than the take-off speed of Concorde.

The average Chiron owner also has 64 other cars, three helicopters, three jets and a yacht. They will drive their Chiron an average of 1550 miles a year.

Each gram of rubber in the Chiron’s tyres can withstand a centrifugal force of 3800g, which is more than the rubber on a Formula 1 car can manage.

It's all relative ,compared to a decent size boat using total running costs over ownership period -cars even those are cheap
The Veyron its predecessor has a 42000 CHF service every 2 years (approx £32 K ) which includes new tyres .
The wheels can only stand a max of 2 tyre changes before they are replaced -all done at the factory .
Here's two for sale in the high street in Gtaad -Asking CHF 1.9 M

The issue is exceeding 200mph limeted by tyres /wheels -over that by a lot then you are into a whole new engineering sphere.
It's cousin another W configuration ,W12 twin turbo the Bentley continental GT "only " has a top speed of 196 ( mine ) or 206 if Supersports .But with winter tyres fitted 148 mph
Bugatties are W16 ,s quad turbo,s

Both basically overseen by VW groupe - parts bin raided from VW /Audi /Lamborghini ,

Rarity maintains residues 450 veyrons produced 10% -45 reg in Switzerland -Chiron,s are all sold

I used to sell Classic and rare Porsches and others and there were some eye watering bills, should someone bump your Porsche 959 for example a new rear bumper was around £55,000, you can get through a clutch in a Carrera GT in a few hundred yards if you drive them like a normal car, a new clutch is £15k!
