\n<\/p>\n
The Bugatti Type 57 was designed by Jean Bugatti – son of the firm\u2019s founder Ettore Bugatti and its this unique shape that has inspired a special iteration of the current Chiron hypercar. This is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport \u201857 One of One\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was made for a special Bugatti customer. The American woman that the car is going to has never owned a Bugatti before, but fell in love with the original Type 57 SC Atlantic. Hendrik Malinowski, Managing Director at Bugatti, said: \u201cThe Type 57 SC Atlantic will always be an icon and this latest homage can proudly sit alongside it on the concours lawns of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The exterior tweaks over a \u2018regular\u2019 Chiron are five-spoke Super Sport wheels finished in polished chrome with blue accents. That blue colour extends to the main body and is a reference to the grey metallic blue of the original car. On the underside of the rear wing, there\u2019s a hand-drawn silhouette of the Type 57 with \u201857\u2019 and \u2018One of One\u2019 lettering. The grille has also been redesigned with polished strakes and a thicker central spine as another reference to the Type 57.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The famous quad-turbocharged, W16 engine features as always, and Bugatti says the revised grille doesn\u2019t detract from the cooling it needs to reach its 273mph top speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, there\u2019s \u2018Guacho\u2019 leather upholstery and further Type 57 silhouettes. The door panels are stitched in \u2018lightning blue\u2019 and on the centre console there\u2019s a custom insert with \u201857 One of One\u2019. A dancing elephant motif is embroidered on the headrests – a piece of design reserved for Bugatti\u2019s rarest cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know how much Bugatti charged for this one off, although it\u2019s a safe bet it cost significantly more than the standard car\u2019s \u00a33.2million price tag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
