The Chiron has been comprehensively upgraded in these aspects, making it more suitable for the needs of modern super - car users.
Q
How long do Bugatti Veyron tires last at top speed?
The tire life of the Bugatti Veyron at top speed is approximately 15 minutes. This is because when the vehicle is traveling at a maximum speed exceeding 400 km/h, the tires are subjected to extreme centrifugal forces and high temperatures, causing the rubber to wear out rapidly. Although the Michelin PAX tires specially designed for the Veyron use high - strength materials and a special structure to handle extreme conditions, rapid wear at top speed is still unavoidable. Therefore, Bugatti officially advises owners to avoid maintaining top - speed driving for long periods to extend tire life and ensure safety. For owners in Malaysia, although local road conditions cannot meet the Veyron's top - speed requirements, understanding this helps in better maintaining the supercar's tires. During daily driving, attention should be paid to tire maintenance. For example, regularly check tire pressure and wear, and avoid aggressive driving. Additionally, Malaysia's hot climate may also accelerate tire aging, so it is recommended to park the vehicle in a shady place and use appropriate tire protectants.

Q
How much is a Bugatti Veyron full tank?
The Bugatti Veyron has a fuel tank capacity of 100 liters. Based on the current price of RON 97 gasoline in Malaysia (around 3.50 ringgit per liter), it would cost approximately 350 ringgit to fill up the tank. However, as a top - tier supercar, the Veyron usually recommends using higher - grade fuel to ensure its performance, so the actual cost might be slightly higher.
