SportTranscription
00:00 Imagine, imagine that you can do the craziest race ever made.
00:07 A race celebrating the excellence of French engineering.
00:11 A race straight out of a dream.
00:14 On one side, the Dassault Rafale Marine, one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world.
00:20 A war monster weighing more than 10 tons, more than 60 million euros.
00:25 Able to fly faster than sound and carry up to 10 tons of weapons.
00:29 The perfect tool to defend a country and assert its military power.
00:34 On the other side, the flagship of the automobile.
00:37 As luxurious as sporty, as beautiful as expensive, the Bugatti Chiron.
00:42 Delicately assembled in France as a Swiss watchmaker's piece,
00:45 it pushes the limits of attainable performance on earth.
00:49 A race a priori impossible on paper.
00:52 Who would accept to run such a risk?
00:55 Impossible? Really?

01:31 Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well.
01:41 Today we meet for an exceptional shooting.
01:45 Exceptional on my channel, there were a few.
01:47 There was Formula 1, there was Porsche 919 in Paris.
01:50 And today, we're going to hit it again.
01:53 Since we're here today to compare the Bugatti Chiron Sport,
01:57 the legends of the sky, with the Dassault Rafale.
02:00 Why are we doing this?
02:01 In fact, since its creation more than 110 years ago,
02:04 Bugatti maintains close ties with aeronautics.
02:08 There are many Bugatti pilots like Louis Bleriot,
02:11 others who have already had their special version of Bugatti like Albert Divo,
02:15 or Bartolomeo Custantini.
02:17 These pilots flew for the French Air Force.
02:19 The famous aviator Roland Garros,
02:21 was piloting a Bugatti Type 18,
02:23 to reach on Earth the speed records he reached in the air.
02:28 Chiron Sport, but nothing special.
02:33 No, but this day is crazy.
02:35 That will be in another video.
02:37 Few people know, but Ettore Bugatti,
02:39 as early as 1915, developed aircraft engines.
02:43 He even developed in 1937 a prototype of an airplane,
02:47 which was intended to beat speed records.
02:49 But unfortunately the project did not succeed because of a small setback,
02:52 the Second World War.
02:54 Today, Bugatti pays tribute to its pilots,
02:57 thanks to this Chiron Sport, the legends of the sky.
03:00 A limited edition of 20 copies,
03:02 base price 2.88 million euros,
03:06 of course, out of tax.
03:08 1500 horsepower, W16, quadri-turbo,
03:11 1600 Nm of torque,
03:14 from 2000 to 6000 rpm.
03:16 Max speed electronically limited to 420 km/h.
03:20 This special edition is covered with a new matte gray paint,
03:24 called "Gray Serpent",
03:26 with a white stripe in the middle,
03:28 which is reminiscent of the strip of the runway
03:30 and landing of a dead plane or aircraft carrier.
03:34 I'm still talking about that.
03:36 The beast is the Dassault's "Rafale Marine",
03:39 a special version of the Rafale,
03:41 which has reinforced landing gear,
03:43 which allows you to be catapulted and landed on an aircraft carrier.
03:48 Because this version of the Rafale is intended for the Navy.
03:52 On an aircraft carrier, you do not take off and you do not land,
03:55 you are catapulted and you are landed.
03:57 In fact, there is a mechanism in the aircraft carrier
03:59 that will allow you to catapult the fighter plane
04:01 and make it take off, but you don't have to say it,
04:03 I was told, at a very short distance.
04:05 And the landing, in fact, when the plane arrives,
04:08 it will catch at the back,
04:10 we see here there is a stock that goes down
04:13 and the goal is to catch cables
04:15 that will allow to stop the plane
04:17 at a very short distance.
04:19 And that's amazing.
04:21 So that's a pure product of French know-how and engineering,
04:26 like the Bugatti, by the way,
04:28 because Bugatti, its headquarters and its factory
04:31 are in Molsheim, France, in Alsace.
04:33 So the Bugatti is powered by a 1,500 horsepower W16 quadri-turbo,
04:38 but here we are still on something else.
04:40 Here we have two Snakema M88 engines
04:43 that allow to have 500 kN of thrust,
04:46 75 with the post-combustion,
04:49 so when you have the flames of 50 meters behind,
04:51 it's the post-combustion.
04:52 The Bugatti Chiron Sport is 420 km / h,
04:54 here we can go up to Mach 1.8,
04:57 that is 1.8 times the speed of sound,
04:59 so we go a little faster.
05:00 And that up to 15,000 meters of altitude,
05:02 it's incredible.
05:04 Its price is also a little higher than the Bugatti,
05:06 we are at 2.88 million euros out of tax,
05:09 there we are around 60 million euros for a Rafale Marine.
05:13 It's a little more expensive,
05:14 and then, it's not just anyone who can buy it.
05:16 While this one, if you have your license
05:18 and a fairly full bank account, it's yours.
05:20 The cars are currently made in Dörlesheim,
05:23 next to Molsheim,
05:24 but the headquarters in Molsheim, well, it's just next door,
05:27 but in Molsheim, this is where there was the Bugatti Detore factory,
05:31 and today, in these premises,
05:33 finally, in this place where there was the Bugatti Detore factory,
05:35 is Messier Bugatti,
05:37 and it's them who make the brakes of the Rafale.
05:40 Among other things, they are specialized in aeronautical engineering,
05:44 and they make the landing gear of the A380,
05:46 things like that,
05:47 and that is made in the old Bugatti Detore workshop.
05:52 It's incredible, the loop, loop,
05:54 fans of aviation, Bugatti Detore,
05:56 and today, in these premises,
05:57 aeronautical parts are still produced.
05:59 I find the story incredible.
06:00 Inside, I'll show you,
06:02 it's as beautiful as outside,
06:03 well, I'll show you the outside too,
06:05 because I didn't want to show you in detail.
06:06 Specific to this edition, apart from the snake gray paint,
06:09 we have a new gray here,
06:11 which is cut with a laser,
06:13 which reminds several things,
06:14 a bit like the seams inside the leather,
06:16 and also the movement of the French patrol when they move away,
06:18 well, there are a lot of things,
06:19 a lot of beautiful details.
06:21 Extraordinary car,
06:22 needs extraordinary tires,
06:24 we have Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2,
06:26 specially developed for this car,
06:27 which are able to take quite extreme speeds.
06:29 Small scratch on the wings,
06:31 which are called "Legends of the Sky",
06:33 that's nice,
06:34 and the little red-white-blue flag
06:36 on the front of the carbon body kits.
06:38 The base is a Chiron Sport, as I told you,
06:40 and this one has the Skyview,
06:41 it's the glass roof,
06:43 which allows, like in a fighter jet,
06:44 to see the sky in the back.
06:47 We have the engine,
06:48 the W16 Quadriturbo,
06:50 with the black carbon hood on this edition,
06:54 and what differentiates the Chiron Sport
06:56 from the normal Chiron,
06:57 is this exhaust,
06:58 which is 3D printed in Inconel,
07:01 it's incredible.
07:02 It's very recognizable,
07:03 with this stop light bar,
07:05 which makes the car very wide,
07:07 which is really beautiful,
07:09 and this hydraulic wing,
07:11 which can go down,
07:12 it can go down at the stop,
07:13 and totally change the shape of the car,
07:15 or rise up to several heights,
07:17 and on several positions,
07:18 depending on the driving modes.
07:19 It can even be used as an airbrake,
07:21 it will go vertically,
07:22 and it is said that the airbrake,
07:24 only on a Chiron,
07:25 has the same braking power
07:27 as a classic car,
07:28 with its normal brakes.
07:29 It's phenomenal.
07:30 And what I love about the Chiron,
07:32 is this stop light,
07:33 which goes all along the car,
07:34 and which ends above the engine,
07:37 it's really sublime.
07:39 We go inside,
07:41 and there are a lot of very nice details.
07:44 Already a door panel,
07:45 "The Legends of the Sky",
07:46 there are only 20 that are produced,
07:48 small logo on the door panel,
07:49 "The Legends of the Sky",
07:51 and we have a decoration on the doors,
07:54 something that is handmade,
07:55 these drawings are very pretty,
07:56 which represents a race
07:57 between the Bugatti Type 13,
07:59 which is the first car
08:01 to have the name Bugatti,
08:03 and the Nieuport 17,
08:05 which is a French biplane from 1916.
08:08 And so, you will see in a few moments,
08:10 stay,
08:11 we will do the modern version of this race,
08:13 between the Bugatti Chiron "The Legends of the Sky",
08:16 and the Rafale that is just behind,
08:18 on the track, which is just behind.
08:20 So, these are the bucket seats,
08:21 in option we have comfort seats,
08:23 which are available.
08:24 And so, here,
08:25 usually I make fun of the plastic,
08:27 a little ugly,
08:28 in a little expensive cars,
08:29 here, there is nothing that is ugly,
08:31 it's gold leaf,
08:32 it's at the level of quality of the watchmaking.
08:35 We have here,
08:36 this line that takes up
08:37 the outside line of the car,
08:39 here,
08:40 the Chiron C,
08:41 which is also the signature,
08:42 the signature of Ettore Bugatti,
08:44 which is remembered here,
08:45 look,
08:46 in the small screen,
08:48 a central counter,
08:49 graduated from 0 to 500 km / h,
08:52 it's beautiful,
08:53 each piece of aluminum is cut in the mass,
08:56 machined,
08:57 polished,
08:58 it's really beautiful,
08:59 the palettes,
09:00 each button,
09:01 even the button here,
09:02 to reset the mileage,
09:03 the windows buttons,
09:04 there is a small piece of leather at the end,
09:06 it's beautiful,
09:07 the gear lever,
09:08 this central console,
09:09 in fact,
09:10 it will not age,
09:11 the central consoles of all cars,
09:13 it ages in general,
09:14 it takes age,
09:15 here,
09:16 it's art,
09:17 it's more beautiful than the most beautiful,
09:19 follow the most beautiful hotels in the world.
09:21 Behind,
09:22 the W16,
09:23 and above,
09:24 the Rafale,
09:25 it's an incredible view,
09:27 frankly,
09:28 it's a privilege to be able to show you this,
09:29 and I thank you in advance,
09:30 because it is partly thanks to you that I am here today,
09:32 so thank you.
09:33 Before going on the track,
09:34 I was given a rare privilege,
09:35 that of getting on board the cockpit of the Rafale Marine,
09:39 so I will show you the interior,
09:41 already we have a carbon seat,
09:43 worthy of the most beautiful supercars,
09:45 well, often it is rather the car that is inspired by aeronautics,
09:47 especially for the high head display,
09:49 this is the high head display of the Rafale,
09:51 there is a screen here,
09:52 a screen there,
09:53 a screen there,
09:54 here, it's to put the gas,
09:55 we say like that?
09:56 We say well put the gas,
09:57 so there, I put the gas at full,
09:58 and there,
09:59 the post combustion,
10:00 here,
10:01 so you can not put it by chance,
10:03 here you have the little joystick,
10:05 to control the seat of the plane,
10:07 piloted, quite simply,
10:09 and then there is a billion other buttons,
10:10 I have no idea what they are for,
10:12 and here,
10:13 the thing that should not be pulled,
10:15 the handle of the ejectable seat,
10:17 I think it's a kind of bomb,
10:18 that explodes under the seat,
10:19 that ejects us into the air,
10:21 to sink in the air, it's a little better,
10:23 that's great!
10:24 Well, we're going to warm up these engines a little bit,
10:26 and we'll meet on the side of the track.
10:47 Who, of the hypercar or the fighter plane,
10:49 will win this acceleration race?
10:51 The Bugatti Chiron weighs 2 tons,
10:53 has 4 wheel drive,
10:55 its 1500 horsepower and 1600 newton-meters of torque
10:58 should help it to catapult at the start.
11:00 With a 0 to 100 in 2.4 seconds,
11:03 the acceleration is more in the field of ballistics
11:06 than of the car.
11:07 1600 newton-meters the Chiron?
11:09 The Snekma M88 turbojet engines of the Rafale
11:12 propel it with a force of 75,000 newton-meters
11:16 with the post-combustion.
11:18 We really have no idea what's going to happen.
11:26 We're going to see.
11:28 The Bugatti Chiron wins the race.
11:31 The race is over.
11:33 The Bugatti Chiron wins the race.
11:36 The Bugatti Chiron wins the race.
11:39 The Bugatti Chiron wins the race.

12:48 The Bugatti Chiron wins the race.
13:15 Well, it was a symbolic drag race.
13:18 It was crazy to be able to film this today.
13:23 A huge thank you to Bugatti and the Navy.
13:27 A huge thank you to the Air Naval base of the Andivisio
13:30 and its personnel, its military, for welcoming us and explaining all this.
13:34 We also did the simulator of the burst.
13:37 I didn't want to show you that because we have a formal ban to film it.
13:40 Incredible, a huge privilege and all this thanks to you.
13:43 Thank you so much.
13:46 I hope you enjoyed this video.
13:48 I doubt it but give it a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't already.
13:51 Thank you for your loyalty and see you soon for the next video.
