Behind Bugatti’s Record-Breaking Speed Are Special Wheels And Nerves of Steel

Speed kills.

That is something that had to be etched in the minds of the Bugatti and Michelin engineers, as well as driver Andy Wallace, as they pushed a modified Chiron to 304.77 miles an hour.

As you would expect, driving a production car that fast involves more than just finding a straight path, strapping in and hoping for the best. Instead, it required adjustments to the car, the wheels and nerves of steel.

When you’re going that fast, the driver also has to make perhaps less-than-a-split-second decisions; he has to really pay attention to both the road and the car. Every micromovement matters.
