The new limited-edition Bugatti Chiron Sport “110 ans Bugatti” celebrates the brand’s 110th anniversary and the country of its birth.
Despite their dominance on social media channels, Bugattis, the French hypercar favoured by the insanely wealthy, are relatively exclusive, not only because of the hefty price tag that comes with owning one of these stunning creations, but because of the hundreds of hours that go into creating each car. Celebrating France and the brand’s 110th anniversary, Bugatti has created a limited-edition collection of just 20 cars based on one of the marque’s most popular models.
The new Chiron Sport “110 ans Bugatti” bears one of the most famous symbols of a proud nation. The French tricolour “Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge”, with its colours of blue, white and red, decorates the body and interiors at several points and harmonizes perfectly with the extraordinary Chiron Sport. This includes the colours of the French flag in mirror image on the right-hand side of the vehicle, as is the norm with French official vehicles.
The body and the front end of this striking sportscar are made from carbon fibre, while the iconic Bugatti radiator has been fashioned from aluminium. The matt Steel Blue paintwork, produced in a complex process, has a sheen like hot-rolled steel and is reminiscent of historic models: in the 1920s, this type of paintwork was a sign of luxury and exclusiveness, while it now signals a sporting character and high technological competence. In the case of the Chiron “110 ans Bugatti”, the colour scheme divides the bodywork into the monocoque and engine compartment.
Behind the alloy wheels painted in “Nocturne” matt black, the bright blue (French Racing Blue) brake calipers are visible. To obtain an immaculate finish, the aluminium filler cap is sandblasted and hand-polished. The “110 ans Bugatti” emblem, with the French flag running vertically through the logo, features at the centre of the cap.
The rear end is dominated by the diffuser and bumper in glossy Steel Blue Carbon with the contrasting matt black exhaust system. The underside of the rear spoiler boasts the French flag over its entire width, while the rear spoiler mechanism is anodized in matt black to harmonize with the matt black Ettore Bugatti logo on the centre of the rear, the matt black wheels and the matching sports exhaust system.
The Sky View roof consisting of two fixed glass panels above the driver’s and passenger’s seats, available as an option on the Chiron, is a standard feature of the special edition, and reveals an interior that’s also punctuated with the tricolor motif.
The interior is upholstered in soft Deep Blue leather, while the door trims, sides and seat areas of the sports seats are covered in Alcantara. Bright French Racing Blue elements on the contours of the seats, stowage compartments, belt trims and the leather of the window buttons provide a sporting contrast. The key of the “110 ans Bugatti” is surrounded by three sewn leather patches in the colours of the tricolour.
