Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Grand Prix: A Nod to Racing Heritage in Special Edition Splendor
by AutoExpert | 20 November, 2023
For those who thought the Chiron couldn't get more breathtaking, Bugatti just pulled the covers off the second of three exclusive Chiron Pur Sport Grand Prix special editions.
Crafted through the artistry of the automaker's Sur Mesure customization program, this model follows the footsteps of the first special edition that stole hearts back in December 2021 with its striking blend of baby blue, red, and glossy black.
This new entrant is a spectacle, courtesy of Bugatti Singapore, donned in pristine white with Grand Prix Red flourishes that capture the eye along the hypercar's front fenders, adorned with racing stripes composed of countless miniature Bugatti emblems.
A hand-painted "32" graces the sides, a touching salute to the Bugatti Type 51 that Louis Chiron and Achille Varzi piloted to triumph in the 1931 French Grand Prix. And it doesn't end there—the allure is intensified by carbon fiber details, including the commanding rear wing and the red carbon fiber engine covers that simply demand attention.
While the interior remains a closely guarded secret, if it's anything like its 2021 predecessor, expect an exquisite cockpit clad in black leather, black Alcantara, and bold red highlights stitching together a cabin that's as thrilling as its exterior.
Mechanically, the Grand Prix edition remains true to the Chiron Pur Sport's roots, wielding the formidable power of Bugatti’s 8.0-liter W16 engine, capable of delivering 1,479 HP and 1,180 lb-ft of torque.
It's not just about power, though; the Chiron Pur Sport has shed weight for agility, boasts stiffer suspensions, and has been fitted with unique gear ratios for blistering acceleration, promising a drive that's as compelling as its storied heritage.
