This Is How You Film A Bugatti Chiron At 250 MPH

One of the most impressive videos from the record run was a single unbroken tracking shot following the Chiron as it accelerates from 0-249-0 mph. Whereas some car scenes in Hollywood movies are sped up to increase the intensity of the scene, Clark wanted to show the car's real speed on camera.

But capturing the Bugatti Chiron driving at top speed presented several challenges. How do you find a camera car that can keep up with the Chiron? Simple: use another Bugatti Chiron as a camera car. Now we can dismiss those rumors that Bugatti used a modifiedToyota Supraor Nissan GT-R as a camera car.

"It was amazing to us how few people actually guessed it, but it's one of those things when something's too obvious you almost can't think about it." For the stationary shots of the Chiron, however, Clark used modified Caterham Seven.

Launching both Chirons at the right time isn't easy, as Clark demonstrates in some unseen outtakes. And while the shots weren't sped up, Clark added some camera shake effects to make the video look more dramatic, as the recorded video from the camera attached to the back of the Chiron camera car was surprisingly static considering it was being driven at 250 mph. Clark also admits he has one issue with the video: the Chiron camera car's exhaust gases caused the tracking shot to be out of focus. Since they were unable to redo the run, the shot was left in the final film.
