Just as they announce they are going to be producing a new $5.8 million hypercar even more hardcore than the Chiron, Bugatti goes and adds yet another feature to their flagship car to make it somehow even more popular than it already is.
Now, Bugatti customers who want to enjoy sunlight from above in their new Chiron can do so. The new “Sky View” option consists of two fixed glass panels in the roof of the vehicle, each 65 cm long and 44 cm wide (25.6 in and 17.3 in), above the driver’s and passenger’s seats. These panels are made up of a newly-developed laminated structure with thin glass and four intermediate layers.
Each layer meets individual requirements. Firstly, undesirable wind noise is reduced and secondly infrared radiation is reflected away from the vehicle to ensure maximum thermal comfort. In addition, the glass is tinted to prevent dazzle effects and to protect occupants’ privacy. Finally, harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) radiation is filtered out. As a side-effect, the laminated design improves the stiffness of the roof panels. The outstanding structural properties of the Chiron, including the stiffness of the overall vehicle and crash safety, are maintained.
Added bonus?! The addition of these panels increases headroom by 1.06 inches!
Bugatti plans to debut the Chiron Sky View at the Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach, California at the end of August 2018.
