Compare the2023 Bugatti ChironVS 2022 Ferrari SF90

The Chiron has a standard 360 degree parking monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The SF90 only offers a rear monitor and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the front or sides.

Both the Chiron and the SF90 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

The Bugatti Chiron weighs 737 to 937 pounds more than the Ferrari SF90. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Chiron’s standard 8.0 turbo 16-cylinder produces 493 more horsepower (1479 vs. 986) and 590 lbs.-ft. more torque (1180 vs. 590) than the SF90’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid. The Chiron Super Sport’s standard 8.0 turbo 16-cylinder produces 592 more horsepower (1578 vs. 986) and 590 lbs.-ft. more torque (1180 vs. 590) than the SF90’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid.

The Chiron has 8.4 gallons more fuel capacity than the SF90 (26.4 vs. 18 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

For better stopping power the Chiron’s brake rotors are larger than those on the SF90:

The Chiron has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The SF90 doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

The Chiron has standard air brakes, which adjust the spoiler automatically during high-speed braking in order to shorten stopping distances. The SF90 doesn’t offer air brakes.

For better traction, the Chiron has larger tires than the SF90 (F:285/30R20 & R:355/25R21 vs. F:255/35R20 & R:315/30R20).

The Chiron’s 285/30R20 front and 355/25R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series front and 25 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the SF90’s 35 series front and 30 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Chiron has standard 21-inch rear wheels. Only 20-inch wheels are available on the SF90.

The Chiron has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The Chiron’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The SF90 doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Chiron’s wheelbase is 2.4 inches longer than on the SF90 (106.7 inches vs. 104.3 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Chiron is 2.8 inches wider in the front and .4 inches wider in the rear than on the SF90.

The Chiron is 6.5 inches shorter than the SF90, making the Chiron easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Chiron’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The SF90’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.
