looks great imo, I think they'll perform well on track - from what i've heard just the ordinary Chiron pur sport is good on track

I’m sure that the point’s been made many times before, but I wonder why someone would want a car like this for track use rather than something designed for the track from the beginning.

Can’t something faster, more enjoyable, and far less prone to brake fade or overheating be found for a fraction of the price? It just seems like the wrong tool for the job, like a solid gold hammer for knocking in nails.
5:23.1 Nordschleife time and 3:07.1 Le man lap times are good enough for a track car imo

the chiron isn't a bad platform for a track car.

I’m not saying it’s a bad car, but can you not find better for a few hundred thousand pounds?
it's just not the same though is it. an ultima rs is extremely fast for £100k but this is a toy for the super rich and is very capable too

It did a 5:23 Nordschleife time (similar to the 919 or whatever the Porsche LeMans car is called)?
on closer inspection it seems they are officially 'simulated' times

the le man time is absolutely nuts too.

either way they are very confident of the cars ability and with good cause too imo
