Volkswagen Van Seen Pulling A Bugatti Chiron Worth $4 Million With A Tow Rope

A Volkswagen van was spotted pulling a Bugatti Chiron hyper sports car valued at $4 million with a tow rope. The Chiron is believed to be a prototype lacking Bugatti’s 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine.

Footage shared on the Supercar.Fails Instagram page captures the Volkswagen van towing the potentially malfunctioning Bugatti Chiron hyper sports car, one of only 500 produced. The caption humorously notes: “When you have a $4 million car but it doesn’t work…”

Using a tow rope to transport a vehicle is not the safest method. Utilizing a car trailer or tow dolly would have provided greater stability and safety than a tow rope.

Comments from Autojosh suggest that this particular Chiron may be a prototype lacking Bugatti’s famed W16 engine. This powerful engine, producing 1500 Horsepower and 1600Nm of torque, enables the Chiron to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 261 mph. Some speculate that the Chiron is being towed due to lacking registration to drive on German highways.

Reactions from users range from speculating on the Chiron’s engine status to the reason for it being towed, with some noting the high cost of driving a Bugatti and the towing regulations in Germany.
