Bugatti Chiron celebrates brand's legacy

author: FutureCar Staff    

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Golden Era has been unveiled as a unique and meticulously adorned tribute to the rich heritage of the French luxury brand. This special edition, designed according to the preferences of a highly esteemed customer, pays homage to Bugatti's iconic W16 engine and the historic models that solidified the company's reputation as one of the world's most renowned luxury brands.

The car is adorned with a hand-drawn mural showcasing 45 historic Bugatti models, a painstaking process that took over 400 hours to complete. Bugatti itself described the creation of this artwork as "extremely intimidating." The ink used for the mural was developed for durability, ensuring that it will last for the entire lifespan of the car.

The passenger door of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Golden Era is adorned with depictions of 26 cars, including the Type 41 Royale, which was hailed as the most luxurious car in the world upon its launch in 1926. Additionally, the door showcases the Type 57 SC Atlantic, a personal favorite of Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti's former design director who oversaw this project.

On the driver's side, the car showcases sketches of Bugatti's "modern" era, featuring the EB110, Veyron, and the Chiron itself. As a tribute to the 16-cylinder engine that has been a hallmark of Bugatti for the past two decades, the doors also feature sketches of the 3712 components that make up the engine.

The entire car is adorned in a two-tone color scheme, with Doré gold and Nocturne black. This combination adds to the car's luxurious and distinct appearance.

Achim Anscheidt, who recently retired from his position as Bugatti's chief designer, expressed his pride in assisting customers in realizing their dreams. He noted that extensive special commissions like this one are incredibly rare, with only one or two creations of this magnitude typically seen each year.
