Bugatti Chiron Super Sport “55 1 of 1”

At the 1931 Paris Motor Show, Bugatti introduced the sports car Bugatti Type 55. It was produced until 1935, and in its honor the Italian brand presented a special example of the Chiron Super Sport marked “55 1 of 1”.

Like the original model from the 30s, the Super Sport model is also finished in a combination of black and yellow. At the front, there is a black grille frame, while the Chiron also got black ten-spoke wheels with yellow EB emblems. The rear wing is also painted in black and yellow and contains the inscription “55 1 of 1” on the lower part.

“From a distance, the ’55’ pattern ensures that the fenders appear black, just like on the original car,” said Jascha Straub, manager of Sur Mesure and Individualization at Bugatti.

The same color combination continues in the interior of this unique car. The seats are upholstered in a combination of black leather and Alcantara with yellow stitching and embroidered “55 1 of 1” on the head rest. Leather covers the dash and center console while Alcantara covers the door panels. There are also plenty of carbon details, and special door sill plates signed by Jean Bugatti.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is powered by an 8.0-L W16 quad-turbo engine with 1,600 hp (1,193 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all wheels. The top speed is 440 km/h (273 mph).

The Bugatti will be powered by a V16 engine

In a few months, Bugatti will present a new car that will replace the Chiron model, and the latest information says that it will be powered by a V16 engine as part of a hybrid powertrain.

Bugatti is still hiding details about this car, but it is already known that the new powerful 8.3 liter V16 engine will be developed in cooperation with Cosworth. The published video contains the sound of the engine, and some believe that it could be a naturally aspirated engine, which would not be a surprise because the video hints at a large number of rpm. It is rumored to be 9,000 rpm.

Also, there are many rumors and some of them say that the powertrain will include an 8.3-liter V16 in combination with three electric motors with a total power of 1,800 hp (1,342 kW). Of course, more information will be known in June, when the car will be premiered.

Bugatti Bolide will have the largest carbon brakes

Four years ago, Bugatti revealed a concept car based on the Chiron, the Bugatti Bolide. It is a really powerful car that is capable of reaching a speed of more than 400 km/h, and that requires serious control, i.e. braking force to stop this beast. From now on, the Bolide will be equipped with the largest carbon brakes that Brembo has ever produced.

It’s a special set of carbon brakes with eight-piston front and six-piston rear monobloc calipers, each made of nickel-plated aluminum, mounted on 15.3-inch (38.86 cm) carbon discs. There are also four brake pads on each wheel, and when you put it all together, you get the biggest carbon brake system Brembo has ever made.

According to Bugatti, these brakes are the same level of technology used in F1 cars and LMDh prototypes. In addition, they are designed to work for drivers of different experience levels. Also, the Bugatti Bolide offers a driving mode that can be set to simulate a wet surface, in order to provide a certain level of excitement.

The Bugatti Bolide is powered by an 8.0L quad-turbocharged W16 engine with 1,825 hp (1,361 Kw) and 1,364 lb-ft (1,850 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.17 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 4.36 seconds and a top speed of 311 mph (500 km/h).

Only 40 examples of this model will be produced, and each will cost $4.8 million.
