Seductive superstars on show in Geneva

It’s a showcase for supercars to flaunt their curves, and a stage for manufacturers to let the imagination run wild.

And kicking off the luxury party at this year’s Geneva Motor Show was boss of the bunch, the Bugatti Chiron (“sheer-on”), the €2.4 million successor to the Veyron.

Chiron roars with a 1,500-horsepower, W16 engine pushed by a new, two-stage, turbo-boosting technology. Bugatti engineers said it comes with a unique linear power curve that will hit 60mph in less than 2.5 seconds and 186mph in just over 13 seconds. Top speed on the dashboard is listed at 500km/h but they hinted the car will go faster than that.
