One could easily argue that every Bugatti Chiron is special, but some are more special than others. That’s the case with this series of three L’Ébé editions, which bear the name of Ettore Bugatti’s daughter and eldest child. The lineup consists of one Chiron and two Chiron Sports, which will be the final versions of these models delivered in Europe. That makes them pretty special and that’s before factoring in their Art Deco details, which were a favorite of L’Ébé.
The cars immediately stand out as they
feature a blue-tinted carbon fiber body, which contrasts with shimmering gold
accents on the grille and wheels. They’re joined by golden badging, a special
engine cover, and L’Ébé’s signature on the underside of the retractable rear
spoiler.
L’Ébé’s signature can also be found inside
the cabin, where it resides on the headrests, sill plates, and center console.
Elsewhere, there’s Silk and Lake Blue leather, blue-tinted carbon fiber, and
special door panels with a motif showing the “visual evolution of Bugatti’s
most iconic cars, from early Grand Prix racers through to EB110, Veyron and
Chiron.” L’Ébé Bugatti was born in 1903 and the company noted she was “very
close” to her father, who “hide his own initials ‘EB’ in her first name, so
L’Ébé would not have to forgo the Bugatti surname even after marriage.” While
L’Ébé isn’t a widely known figure, she wrote “The Story of Bugatti.”
One Chiron L’Ébé and Chiron L’Ébé Sport
have already been delivered, while the second Chiron L’Ébé Sport will be
delivered by the end of the month. This marks the end of an era on the
continent as the Chiron was originally introduced in 2016 and became the first
production car to deliver 1,479 hp thanks to its quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16
engine.
