By using those kind of engine, the Chiron Profilée capable to accelerate from zero to 100 kph in just 2.3 seconds and run up to top speed of 380 kph.

In later developments the Profilée incorporated several aspects of the Pur Sport, such as shorter gear ratios for faster acceleration, a more aggressively tuned chassis including changes to chamber angle and a stiffer suspension for better handling compared to its donor car.
