The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Golden Era has been unveiled as a unique and meticulously adorned tribute to the rich history of the French luxury brand. Created based on the preferences of a highly esteemed customer, this special edition honors Bugatti's iconic W16 engine and the legendary models that established the company as a prominent name in the luxury car industry.

The car is adorned with a hand-drawn mural showcasing 45 historic Bugatti models, a remarkable artistic endeavor that took more than 400 hours to complete. Bugatti itself describes the process as "extremely intimidating." The ink used for the mural was specifically developed for durability, ensuring that it will last for the lifetime of the vehicle.

The passenger door of the Chiron Super Sport Golden Era features depictions of 26 cars, including the renowned Type 41 Royale, which was considered the epitome of luxury when it was introduced 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 pays homage to Bugatti's "modern" era, featuring sketches of the EB110, Veyron, and Chiron. Furthermore, as a tribute to Bugatti's signature 16-cylinder engine, the doors of the car are adorned with sketches of the 3712 components that make up this remarkable powertrain.

Completing the striking appearance of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Golden Era is its two-tone Doré gold and Nocturne black color scheme, which extends throughout the entire vehicle.

Achim Anscheidt, who recently retired from his position as Bugatti's chief designer, expressed his admiration for the creativity of Bugatti's customers and the pride the company takes in bringing their dreams to life. He noted that extensive special commissions like this one are exceptionally rare, with only one or two projects of this magnitude typically undertaken each year.
