This time last week, there was a collective thud as many jaws bounced off the floor at the unveiling of the new Bugatti Chiron. The Chiron, if you need reminding, is the successor to the mighty Veyron and has a suitcase full of big numbers to go with its new, sharper looks.Like this for example. Where the Veyron Super Sport produced a piffling 1183bhp and 1106lb ft of torque, the Chiron develops 1479bhp and 1180lb ft. Oof.And at a constant top speed (of 261mph, no less), the Chiron will drain its fuel tank in just nine minutes. The Veyron? 12.It will also accelerate from 0-62mph in less than 2.5 seconds, 0-124mph in less than 6.5 and 0-186mph in under 13.6. Take a moment to let that last one sink in. That"s 2.9 seconds faster than a P1 and a second quicker than the Veyron Super Sport.All very impressive. Ultimately however, we"re almost 100 per cent sure that your decision on placing an order for the Chiron rests not on top trumps numbers, price ( 1.9m) or exclusivity (500 models will be built), but the paint. Lucky for you, Bugatti has now released the full colour palette. And it"s gorgeous.Would you like naked blue carbon to match your McLaren P1? Ferrero Rocher black, silver and gold? Candy cane red and white? Or to keep it classic with Bugatti blue? In total, there are eight options available. Though if you throw enough money, Bugatti will paint it whatever the hell colour you want.So, what would you go for? Let us know below.
