The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Is a $3.6 Million Rebuke to Electrics

I didn’t arrive at a recent test drive of the 2021 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport expecting much.

Don’t get me wrong—given the car’s base price of $3.6 million, I expected quite a lot compared to every non-Bugatti car ever. But setting the 2021 Chiron against the searingly fast model I drove in 2018, I didn’t expect much of a change. It’s the same car with a different paint job and a new spoiler, I thought. Cosmetic tweaks at most.
