Since its debut in 2016, the Bugatti Chiron has stood as an unrivaled icon of hyper sports car performance. Limited to just 500 units, the final Chiron, dubbed ‘L’Ultime,’ has been hand-assembled by the craftspeople in Molsheim, marking the end of an extraordinary era. This bespoke masterpiece, known as ‘L’Ultime,’ embodies the pinnacle of Bugatti's craftsmanship and performance, boasting several groundbreaking achievements such as being the first 1,500 PS roadgoing car and the first production car to exceed 300 mph.
The 'L'Ultime' Chiron symbolizes Bugatti's prowess and the evolution of its craft over the past eight years. Adorned in a unique two-tone color scheme of 'French Racing Blue' and 'Atlantic Blue,' the final Chiron's design seamlessly blends these hues, accentuated by colored wheels that mirror the front and rear shades. A tailored blue Bugatti macaron, exclusively developed for this edition, graces the grille. The car's bodywork features hand-written inscriptions of places and events that have shaped the Chiron's legendary status, inspired by the philosophy of 'bullet speed' to reflect its unparalleled top speed even while stationary.
The creation of the Super Sport's aesthetic form was a collaborative effort between the Bugatti Sur Mesure team and the customer, aimed at commemorating Bugatti's rich history and the Chiron's incredible milestones. This unique design traces the Chiron's journey from its 2016 debut to the present day, celebrating its achievements and the significant moments that have defined its legacy.
Since its breathtaking debut in Geneva, the Chiron has redefined automotive excellence, embodying Bugatti's 'Form Follows Performance' ethos. The Chiron has consistently pushed boundaries and set new benchmarks, resulting in a critically acclaimed lineup that includes the Chiron, Chiron Sport, Chiron Pur Sport, and Chiron Super Sport, along with special editions like the Chiron Super Sport 300+ and Les Légendes du Ciel.
The Chiron's legacy is beautifully illustrated on the sides of the unique Super Sport, highlighting key events such as its launch in Geneva, appearances at Chantilly, testing at the Paul Ricard circuit, and the historic 300 mph run at the Ehra-Lessien track. Significant locations like Bugatti's home in Molsheim, the Château Saint Jean, and Cape Canaveral, where customers have experienced the Chiron’s top speed, are also celebrated.
The hand-written number ‘500’ adorns the exterior, wheel caps, and rear wing of this final Chiron, symbolizing another milestone in Bugatti's 115-year journey. This number is also engraved onto the engine cover housing the magnificent Bugatti W16 powertrain, marking the completion of another 500 incomparable works of art inspired by Ettore Bugatti’s original vision.
Inside, the '500' motif continues, adorning a Chiron cabin that matches the car’s bespoke exterior. The interior features a carbon fiber symphony with luxurious 'Deep Blue' leather and 'Blue Carbon Matt' finishes, combined with accents of Bugatti's iconic 'French Racing Blue.' Hand-woven and hand-stitched 'Deep Blue' leather on each door panel exemplifies the unparalleled craftsmanship that has defined the Chiron since 2016.
"The Bugatti brand is built not only on pure performance but on absolute craftsmanship, sophistication, and elegance, forming the very pinnacle of the automotive sphere," said Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles. "This very special Super Sport – the final masterpiece in the era-defining Chiron family – embodies those values, sublimely connecting such incomparable core attributes with ease and purpose. This 500th and final Chiron model is a fitting farewell that captures a defining legacy that will forever be etched in automotive history and paves the way to a bright new chapter, starting with the production of the Bolide and the W16 Mistral and continuing with the unveiling of our new model in June."
With every detail of the Chiron Super Sport masterpiece, Bugatti reaffirms its place as the paragon of automotive excellence. As the Chiron era concludes, Bugatti is poised to begin a new chapter of unmatched performance, luxury, and craftsmanship, continuing its tradition of excellence into the future.
