Bugatti

The Chiron weighs about 1,996 kg and measures 2,038 mm across the body before mirrors. Inside an enclosed trailer that leaves effectively no door clearance, so the car is positioned with the doors closed: the driver is out before the car reaches its final position, or the car is winched.

Ride height is electronically controlled and changes with drive mode, with quoted clearance in the region of 80 to 90 mm and lower again in the top-speed configuration selected by the second key. The car is raised to its highest setting and the body is visually confirmed to have risen before it approaches a ramp — the mode indicator changes before the suspension does. A car handed over in its lowest setting sits at minimum clearance. Extended low-angle ramps in every case; the front overhang and splitter set the approach angle, not the wheels.

The rear wing is deployable, multi-position, and doubles as an airbrake. It is confirmed parked before the trailer door closes, because deployed it becomes the highest point on the car and the first thing to meet a roof bow or a light bar.

The quad-turbo W16 puts substantial heat into a closed space and takes a long time to shed it, so the car is loaded cold or given cool-down before the door is shut. A 12V maintainer is fitted on any multi-day move: without power, ride height, wing and door actuation cannot be operated to unload. Securement is over the wheels at transport pressures, with no chassis contact and no adhesive on carbon.
