Bugatti has unveiled the second of just three special Chiron Pur Sport Grand Prix models crafted through the automaker’s Sur Mesure customization program. The first of these special Chiron Pur Sport models was unveiled back in December 2021 and combined elements of baby blue with red and gloss black. This car was configured by a client through Bugatti Singapore and is predominantly painted in ‘Blanc’ white and then uses Grand Prix Red accents.
These red elements are most apparent
across the front fenders of the French hypercar with racing stripes made up of
dozens of little Bugatti logos. Red is also found on the hand-painted ‘32’
lettering on the doors which pays tribute to the Bugatti Type 51 that claimed
victory at the 1931 French Grand Prix while driven by Louis Chiron and Achille
Varzi. The rear wing of the car also has red Bugatti lettering.
Making the exterior of the car all the
more special are the plethora of exposed carbon fiber elements. These include
the red carbon fiber engine covers and the rear wing. Curiously, the car
manufacturer hasn’t published any photos of the car’s interior but we can see
that like the first Chiron Pur Sport Grand Prix from 2021, there is a
combination of black leather, black Alcantara, and various red elements,
including the seat belts.
No mechanical alterations distinguish the
Grand Prix edition from the ‘regular’ Chiron Pur Sport. As such, it continues
to use Bugatti’s 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 that pumps out 1,479 hp and 1,599 Nm of torque. The firm’s engineers have saved 50 kg with some changes, however, and they have also equipped the Chiron Pur
Sport with stiffer suspension. Perhaps of more importance are the unique gear
ratios that make it accelerate even more rapidly.
