Bugatti Chiron captured at Busan International Mobility Show
Let’s take a closer look at the work
At the 2024 Busan International Mobility Show, you can see new vehicles unveiled by various manufacturers in one place. There are also multiple concept cars and automobile-related artworks. For example, you can see an art car created by a webtoon writer and TV personality, KIAN84.
In March 2024, KIAN84 showcased an art car he had designed, but seeing it alongside other vehicles offered a new perspective. Let’s explore the Bugatti Chiron he worked on and briefly look at the latest model of the Bugatti Chiron to see how it stands today.
Wrapping on a vehicle worth about $ 2.2 million
Expressing joy and sorrow through his webtoon
The vehicle he worked on is the Bugatti Chiron, a hypercar worth about $ 2.2 million. First unveiled in 2016, it features a mid-engine structure equipped with a W16 quad-turbo engine with a displacement of approximately 8,000cc and a maximum output of 1,479 horsepower. The maximum speed is 420 km/h (261 mph), and the time it takes to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill is 2.4 seconds, a performance that most vehicles cannot match.
KIAN 84 incorporated the character Woo Ki Myeong from his popular webtoon Fashion King into the Bugatti Chiron in various ways. It is said that the expressions of the webtoon characters that were serialized for 10 years were used to express the joys and sorrows of life. Generally, when you think of the Bugatti Chiron, the first thing that comes to mind is the blue color. However, in the case of Chiron, created by KIAN84, several colors harmonize to create a unique atmosphere.
Chiron successor Tourbillon recently unveiled
The price exceeds $4.1 million. What is the performance?
Meanwhile, the Tourbillon considered the successor to the Bugatti Chiron, was recently unveiled overseas. The Tourbillon, scheduled to be produced in a limited edition of 250 units, has a sleeker appearance than the Chiron, showing a sense of speed. Its design focuses on aerodynamic performance. It also differentiated appearance from the previous model by adopting the butterfly door method.
The powertrain consists of an 8.3L V16 engine with a maximum output of 986 horsepower and three electric motors. The maximum combined production is 1,775 horsepower. Another feature is that it only takes about 25 seconds to go from a standstill to 400 km/h (249 mph). It is also eco-friendly, equipped with a 25 kWh battery, and can drive 60 km (37 miles) in electric mode. The price of the Bugatti Tourbillon is approximately $4.1 million.
Art Car Concept Unfamiliar in South Korea
Possibility of development with the appearance of various art cars
Until now, art car culture has been somewhat unfamiliar in South Korea. This is because vehicle performance tuning is limited, and creating a vehicle exterior design is not easy. Therefore, KIAN84’s Bugatti Chiron art car is even more meaningful.
We hope that various vehicles will be transformed into works of art. This will further blur the boundaries between the automobile industry and the art world and positively impact related sectors.
