Ride along in a Bugatti Chiron on the Oberalp Pass, Switzerland
Ever wondered what it’s like to drive a multi-million pound hypercar up a Swiss mountain pass?
Well, imagine no more as YouTuber Cars with Luke has just tackled the Oberalp Pass from Andermatt in a £3m Bugatti Chiron Sport, with a POV camera.
Here’s how we described the Oberalp before: “A sequence of nine open hairpins will take you from Andermatt climbing up with the Furka Oberalp, a historic narrow-gauge railway which then vanishes into a tunnel on its way to the top. After this initial ascent the road straightens, stretching out through the valley and, while it may be tempting to put pedal to metal the Swiss are notoriously harsh on speeders, so throttle back and enjoy the views. “
The driver wisely took this advice and so the drive is not at breathtaking speed, but, nonetheless, the whooshes of the Bugatti’s four turbos and the wonderful Alpine views make this a pretty cool video
In 1924 Bugatti dispatched five of its brand-new Type 35 race cars from the factory in Molsheim to Lyon to take part in the French Grand Prix. A century later Bugatti enthusiasts from around the world retraced the 600-mile journey.
