New electric turbochargers are expected to be used to eliminate turbo lag in the big engine, while overall the Chiron should be more liveable day-to-day compared to the Veyron. On the inside, the Chiron is expected to correct many of Veyron’s issues, like the offset driving position, bad visibility, lack of space and strange ergonomics.

Although the Chiron was supposed to arrive in 2015, the car’s launch has already been pushed back to 2016. It is now expected to debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
