Bugatti bids farewell to its iconic Chiron with the unveiling of the Chiron Super Sport L’Ultime, a singular masterpiece marking the culmination of an eight-year reign as the pinnacle of hypercar performance.
This isn’t just a car; it’s a testament to Bugatti’s heritage, a collector’s dream, and a fitting tribute to the legendary W16 engine that’s propelled the Chiron to legendary status.
1 of 1 Ever Made
Limited to a single unit, the L’Ultime signifies the end of production for the Bugatti Chiron after an impressive 500 meticulously hand-built predecessors. This exclusivity ensures the L’Ultime will be a coveted centrepiece in any collection, a symbol of Bugatti’s unwavering commitment to engineering excellence and unmatched craftsmanship.
Powertrain
The L’Ultime isn’t just a collector’s trophy; it’s a powerhouse. It embarks on the W16 engine’s final chapter with the same awe-inspiring spirit that defined the Chiron’s era.
The 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine paired with a 7-speed DSG gearbox generates a staggering 1,600hp and 1,600Nm. This translates to a 0-100 km/h acceleration in a mere 2.4 seconds and a mind-numbing top speed of 440km/h.
Exterior Design
The L’Ultime’s design is a love letter to the Chiron’s heritage. The two-tone paint scheme, featuring Atlantic Blue at the front and French Racing Blue at the rear, evokes the original Chiron Super Sport. The hand-written inscriptions adorn the car, detailing locations and events that cemented the Chiron’s legend.
Other exterior details:
- The number “500” is prominently displayed on the body, wheel caps, and rear wing, signifying the car’s status as the final Chiron.
- A unique blue Bugatti macaron adorns the grille, adding a touch of understated elegance.
- French flag displayed on the mirror wings, a touch of national pride.
- A unique horseshoe grille mesh in Atlantic Blue with centred stripes.
- Wheels echo the car’s two-tone colour scheme, further accentuating the design.
Interiors
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport L’Ultime’s interior isn’t about radical departures; it refines the existing design with a focus on luxury, performance, and exclusivity.
- Deep Blue leather upholstery dominates the cabin, accented with French Racing Blue details and Blue Carbon Matt inserts. This creates a luxurious yet sporty ambience.
- The door panels feature handcrafted leather patches, adding a unique touch and highlighting the car’s bespoke nature.
- The number “500” isn’t just on the exterior; it finds its way inside the cabin as well. This could be subtle embroidery on the seats, headrests, or another prominent location, signifying the car’s limited-edition status.
Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles, said, “With this bespoke work of art, we have retraced the Chiron’s majestic eight-year journey with unforgettable moments that have taken place throughout the world, creating legions of fans for the Chiron, not to mention its countless industry-first breakthroughs and unique world-first achievements. 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.”
Bugatti Chiron Replacement
The official replacement for the Bugatti Chiron has not been revealed yet, but there have been several spy shots and teasers from the Bugatti Rimac that give us a good idea of what to expect. The new car is expected to be unveiled in June 2024.
The new Bugatti will ditch the iconic W16 engine for a hybrid powertrain that will combine a naturally-aspirated V16 engine with electric motors. This is expected to produce around 1800hp.
The Last Bugatti Chiron Ever
The L’Ultime isn’t just an ending; it’s a bridge to a new chapter for Bugatti. While it closes the curtain on the W16 engine, it paves the way for the marque’s upcoming hypercar, rumoured to feature a hybridised V16 powertrain.
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport L’Ultime is a once-in-a-lifetime creation, a collector’s dream, and a poignant farewell to a legend. It’s a fitting tribute to an era of unparalleled performance and a glimpse into the exciting future that awaits Bugatti.
