Video: Cold starting a Chiron Super Sport 300+ sounds like an older plane taking off

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ debuted in 2019 as an ultra-exclusive hypercar worth nearly $3.9 million. It is also among the most insanely powerful cars in the entire world, so excuse us if we cannot miss an opportunity to post a video starring it.

In this 85-second vid, the Chiron SS+ gets fired up in cold weather. By the look of it, it had also spent a night sanding outside in the cold. As a result, its eight-liter W16 starts up not unlike an airplane engine from the mid-20th century. We could be mistaken, but it also sounds like it starts with only a few cylinders active and then gradually activates the rest.

In case you forgot, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ commands 1,578 hp (1,600 PS / 1,177 kW) and only stops accelerating at 440 km/h (273.4 miles per hour) because the electronic limiter says so.
