The 12Cilindri’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. The Chiron doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.
Both the 12Cilindri and the Chiron have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and daytime running lights.
In heavy traffic or at stoplights the 12Cilindri’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Chiron doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.
An eight-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Ferrari 12Cilindri, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a seven-speed automatic is available for the Chiron.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the 12Cilindri has standard 21-inch wheels. Only 20-inch front wheels are available on the Chiron.
The 12Cilindri’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (48.4% to 51.6%) than the Chiron’s (43% to 57%). This gives the 12Cilindri more stable handling and braking.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 300 to 500 pounds less than the Bugatti Chiron.
The 12Cilindri’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Chiron doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.
The 12Cilindri Coupe has a much larger trunk than the Chiron (9.5 vs. 2 cubic feet).
Optional air-conditioned seats in the 12Cilindri keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Chiron doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.
The 12Cilindri has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Chiron.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Bugatti Chiron isn’t available as a convertible.
