Bugatti Chiron's Braking Power
The Bugatti Chiron can brake from 249 mph (400 km/h) using a rear air brake that deploys for 2,000 lbs of downforce [https://x.com/i/status/2031291048773972274].
The Chiron's brakes are made from carbon silicon carbide, which is lighter and more heat-resistant than traditional cast iron. This helps the car maintain its braking performance even after repeated hard stops. The air brake, which Bugatti calls the "airbrake," can deploy in less than half a second. It increases the car's drag and shifts the center of pressure rearward, adding stability during braking. The Chiron also features an advanced ABS system specifically calibrated for high-speed deceleration. It prevents wheel lockup and allows the driver to maintain steering control during emergency braking.
