Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ hypercar is coming to Bumblebee 1000

THE wait is finally over, BUMBLEBEE 1000’s Talladega Nights roadtrip blasts off tomorrow.

For this three-day adventure, we will see over 100 of Ireland’s finest supercars starting off from Barberstown Castle.

And there you’ll see one of the fastest and most expensive hypercars in the world — a 1,600bhp Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.

This Bugatti is a limited-edition variant of the Chiron, specifically designed to break the 300mph barrier and reach speeds of up to 490.484 km/h (304.773 mph).

This Chiron Super Sport 300+ features extensive aerodynamic enhancements, including a longer tail and air curtains, to manage drag and downforce at high speeds.

But if the Chiron isn’t special enough, how about a 950bhp LaFerrari that’s powered by a 6.3-litre V12 and uses F1-derived tech and a hybrid system to produce 950bhp.

Only 499 of these drop-dead gorgeous Ferraris were made.

Or a Ferrari SF90 and a Ferrari 296 GTB?

Other rare Italian supercars will include models from Lamborghini, such as the limited-edition Aventador SVJ 63, one of only 63 in the world.

And the last Gallardo Superleggera ever made, which was owned by Eric Clapton.

As well as Huracáns including STO and Performante models.

Also confirmed is a stunning 765bhp silver McLaren 765LT, the most powerful LT ever.

I’ll be back driving the new 727bhp M5 thanks to BMW Ireland, so keep your eyes peeled for the Irish Sun’s tamed motoring editor — The Ligg — driving this Fire Red super saloon.

Plus you’ll see Audi, Bentley, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Nissan GT-Rs, Rolls Royce and some American and Australian muscle cars too.

And on Friday morning at Barberstown Castle you can see one very special and incredibly expensive hypercar that you simply won’t believe is here in Ireland!

After leaving Barberstown Castle the first Pit Stop will take place at the National School, Scoil Bhríde, Sallins Road, Naas, Kildare at 10am.

And then we’ll make our way to our first Fuel Stop which will be at the Barrack Obama Plaza, Junction 12, Moneygall, Tipperary at noon.

We will then journey to the Woodlands Hotel, Adare, Limerick for lunch at 1.30pm.

And Day One will come to an end at the Neil Armstrong Way, Tralee, in Kerry as we cross the Finish Line at 4pm.

Day Two, Saturday, June 14, will see us meet up at 10.30am and fuel our machines at Walsh’s SuperValu, Caherciveen, in Kerry.

Then we will hit the road again and power our way to the Sneem Hotel in Sneem in Kerry, where we will stop for lunch at 12.30pm.

It will be another dash to the Day Two Finish Line, arriving at 3pm at the Lewis Road Car Park, Killarney, in  Kerry.

Day Three will be another early start as those having a lie-in at the Europe Hotel in Killarney will awaken to the sounds of over 100 supercars starting up and revving into life at 9.30am.

The multi-million euro convoy will head south to Cork and make a much-needed Fuel Stop at the Mallow N20 Plaza, Limerick Road in Mallow, at 11am.

Lunch will be held in the Charleville Park Hotel, Charleville, Cork, at 12.30pm.

Then the roadtrip heads for the Finish Line at the Portlaoise Plaza, Junction 17, Portlaoise, Laois at 3pm.

And with such an awesome array of machines to see, below is my Bumblebee 1000 Top Trumps selection of some of the line-up.

As always, all proceeds from this event will go to the fabulous Little Blue Heroes charity that’s voluntarily led by Garda members and provides vital support to the families of sick kids.

To date, Bumblebee 1000 has raised over €608,649 for this incredible charity organisation.
