This is the stunning new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport ‘57 One of One’ - a homage to an icon from the past and which has been built for just one customer.
Make no mistake, the regular Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is already a serious bit of kit, featuring a gargantuan 8.0-litre W16 engine producing power of up to 1,577 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque.
The 273 mph Chiron Super Sport GT is also eye-wateringly expensive, beginning at around £3.2 million.
This bespoke one-off, built for an unnamed female buyer, ups the ante even further.
The ‘57 One of One’ has been designed as a nod to the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, a car first seen 90 years ago and which is widely considered one of the most beautiful
vehicles ever created.
The modern reinterpretation gets its own unique front grille, polished chrome wheels, a ‘Gaucho’ leather interior, and a hand-drawn silhouette of the SC Atlantic on the underside of the rear wing.
The new 57 One of One also gets the same silver-tinted blue paint as the original Atlantic.
Lord only knows what the final price-tag was, but the brilliant thing about this vehicle is that it’s not destined to just sit in a collection looking pretty, it’s being put to good use.
The lucky owner has been ‘exploring the scenic routes of the American West’ in her new motor, Bugatti tells us, while she experiences her own US Grand Tour.
Speaking about her passion for the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, the customer said: “I remember the day like it was yesterday. I visited the Mullin Automotive Museum at Oxnard (California), and there it was, one of only three cars that still remain, on a pedestal all by itself. I fell in love with it from the very second I saw it.”
Jascha Straub, Lead Designer Sur Mesure at Bugatti, added: “During her visit, when we passed a scale model of the Type 57 SC – the very first Atlantic and the exact one she had seen all those years ago – there was an immediate spark of recognition between us that this is the direction we should take. For years I have been idly dreaming of reinterpreting this icon, so I already had my own ideas of what I would do to honour the most elegant car ever designed. That meant that right away we could sit down and begin evolving the design, to realise her vision together.”
