Shortly after Bugatti broke the 300 mph (483 km/h)
barrier with a tuned prototype of the Chiron, they announced a limited
production run of the (hyper)car. Limited to only 30 units
worldwide, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ has a starting price of € 3.5 million
(US$ 3.9 million). And, as is customary these days with those limited-run
hypercars, they’re all sold out. However, if you missed your chance of buying
one, we found a build slot on Mobile that costs an eye-watering € 4,680,000
(US$ 5,204,610).
The used car dealer behind the ad, which also has
some other expensive machines in its portfolio, including a couple of
LaFerraris, a new Ford GT and a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, claims that the
hypercar will become available from November 30 this year. Which, we gather, is
the right time to make a billionaire feel like Xmas has really come a bit early
this year.
By default, Bugatti is offering the Chiron Super
Sport 300+ with a black paint finish contrasted by orange accents, in the veins
of the Veyron Super Sport. Those who are willing to spend even more, though,
can have it in whatever color they desire.
TopGear reports that a roll cage and removed speed
limiter could be on the options list, in case some of those 1 percenters want
to experience it flat-out, and they could do so at the Ehra-Lessien test track
for what we reckon will be akin to a small fortune for us mere mortals.
Compared to other versions of Molsheim’s model, the
Chiron Super Sport 300+ sports a number of aerodynamic enhancements. More
importantly, though, the 8.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 has been tuned to develop a
neck-snapping 1,600 PS, up from the “regular” Chiron’s
1,500 PS.
