The Grand Tour: Bugatti Chiron vs. BMW M4

jailonacs99 · 12-23-2017, 10:28 PM

Just this last Friday’s episode. M4 has blacked out details but 437M wheels, so probably not a ZCP.

Still, M4 gave the Chiron a run for its money!!

jk, M4 destroyed. How was that a comparison??

The Competition Pack can be ordered with the black 437M...

Nice. My buddy has Veyron with a full Mansory package and all the updates. BTW, it is for sale to make room for his incoming Chiron if anyone is interested . . .

We took it for a drive from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale here recently . . . mostly on Mexican highways . . . that things is a beast and rock solid, hands off stable at 200 mph +. They are truly amazing cars and in a different league from anything in that straight line high speed cruising category (air strip tested of course . . .).

It was a great pleasure to see the M4 lose to such an awesome piece of machinery.

Not sure what was the point of that "race", but it was awesome to watch!

Just like Jeremy said, it was to show just how fast the Chiron really is, by pairing it up with a familiar car that's very fast in its own right.

I just realized all I knew about geography has been a lie.

Because that would have made all the difference!

ChuMpion3 · 12-24-2017, 01:47 PM

M4 looked like a city bus.

It was kind of a stupid race... i get its to show a difference but launching an m4 against an awd mid engine chiron cmon... he could have done this against a Turbo S or GTR and it wouldnt have looked nearly as dramatic... again would not have made a difference but would have not been as stupid as this was.

Chris Harris did something similar between a P1 and RS6, I don't think it's stupid myself. As his test and theirs aims to show the difference between a quick car and a seriously quick car.

The drag race starts at 12mins on the below video, even in the wet once the P1 hooks up it comes past the RS6 like its in reverse.

Most of us won't be in a P1 or Chiron anytime soon so I quite like the demonstration of the difference we all know is there but seeing it demonstrated is quite cool.

GOLFFRR · 12-26-2017, 09:17 AM

the driver of the M4 obv doesn't know how to launch the car!

would love to feel what that acceleration feels like, must be insane

The reverse of the race makes more sense... as the rwd car at least still has 400 more hp lol... in the race they did on GT, every disadvantage imaginable is on the M4... RWD and less power

ChuMpion3 · 12-26-2017, 10:09 AM

As others have said, it exemplifies the difference between a fast car and a super car. They humbled the M4 because....well...we kind of deserve it.

It’s a tv show which main purpose is entertainment and they do very good at achieving their goal IMO. Point being I don’t know why they take stuff they do so seriously, they obviously don’t (generally).

M4Now! · 12-29-2017, 01:46 PM

I didn't count, but think the time difference was around three seconds. Given the Chiron price of $2.6M, that's over $800k per second difference from an M4. At that price, a Chiron driver deserves to crush all other cars

The race was actually interesting, especially the way Jeremy framed it.

Cheers

CanAutM3 · 12-29-2017, 04:01 PM

Reminds me of this video.

It's funny how the Veyron driver let the M3 get a jump and then just reels him in. It's almost surreal.

Wow. Wonder if this was an inspiration for the Grand Tour. Those cars are monsters.

The Chiron is about so much more than low 9s quarter mile sprints. The Veyron and Chiron are works of art and everything down to the valve stem cap is specially engineered to be able to run speeds of 260 mph. A normal valve stem had the ability to rip a wheel off due to rotational forces at 260 mph. These cars are something truly special. Drive or even just ride in one once and you won't think twice about whether it is worth the price.
