Date Removed: March 29th, 2023This article is about the Ballinglo Jetback. You may be looking for its base variant.
Overview
The 2021 Ballinglo Jetback is a French supercar in Driving Empire and was added on January 11, 2021. Upon its introduction, it replaced the 2021 Samba Jetback, which was added some time later as the FSC Lizard. It is quite expensive with a price of $5,849,900.
The Ballinglo Jetback is based on the Super Sport 300+ variant of the Bugatti Chiron. The variant is limited to 30 examples and closely resembles the prototype performing the top speed record run. Changes from the standard Chiron include a more powerful engine, increased top speed, and a characteristic paint scheme featuring a lacquer-coated carbon fibre body with orange stripes, echoing the aesthetics of company's previous top speed record-breaking car, the Veyron Super Sport.
The car is powered by a 1,580 hp quad-turbocharged W16 engine. This car has a grey Bugatti logo made of black enamel and silver, the exhaust system from the Centodieci, a modified gearbox with longer ratios and front and rear bumpers optimised for aerodynamics at high speed, resulting in the overall length increase of the car by 248.9 mm.
The Super Sport will also be equipped with a top speed limiter, akin to the one found in the standard Chiron. Without the limiter, Bugatti claims that the car can attain a maximum speed in excess of 483 km/h (300 mph).

Performance
Before the December 2021 update, it was a disaster due to its chassis that makes it fly out when at extremely high speeds.
After the December 2021 update, it's now more useful thanks to its chassis being stable, and becoming one of the fastest on Drag, Highway, Cross Country and also becoming one of the worst on Circuit. Due to its extremely high speed accompanied with great acceleration, it saves more time on Cross Country. However, it is recommended for this car for longer straight-line tracks like Highway.
Overall, a decent vehicle.
