5: BUGATTI VEYRON SUPER-SPORT
When the Bugatti Veyron was introduce in 2005 , there was need to upgrade the VEYRON, because of it's competitors, back in the era of the S.C.C Ultimate Aero, which was 6 mph above the Veyron, between the years of 2005- 2009 .
So , the upgrades Bugatti made was the Veyron Super sport, which still had the previous W16 Quad turbo engine, but with extra 200hp , making it 1200hp , which increased the top speed to 269.8 mph as tested first in 2014 , but later went down to 268 mph.

4: BUGATTI CHIRON.
Ever since Bugatti last released the VEYRON, 10 years before the new Bugatti, there had been a lot of anxious car enthusiast, waiting for the next Bugatti, which was presented in 2016 ; the BUGATTI CHIRON.
The Bugatti Chiron comes with a new W16 Quad turbo-charged engine, with a maximum output of 1500 hp. The Chiron is a real master piece of engineering; coming with new sets of Brakes,new tires which can withstand 3Gs every second above 400km/h, without wearing out.
And the Chiron is one of the safest supercar , paying to it's aerodynamics and down force, which is been produced from it's wing behind the top of the vehicle. The Chiron now comes with a new Cockpit (chassis) , so stable that if u drop a mass , that is 4 times heavier than it , the opposite wheel would only go up to less than 5 inches of ground clearance. Also riding comfort has been updated, which makes it feel like a luxury vehicle; example Bentley Continental GT.
The Chiron zooms from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and a limited top speed of 261 mph. The Chiron actually delivers more than 261 mph, but because of road regulations, Bugatti had to cut down the speed limit to 261; That's why the Chiron was placed the 4th fastest car , over it's predecessor, the BUGATTI VEYRON SUPER-SPORT.
The Chiron cost £2,500,000 before options, which are plentiful and extravagant, with a limited production; of 500 unit's for the entire world.
