The Bugatti Chiron is the current supercar of the Molsheim firm, although it is getting less. while they are working to launch a successor, which could be electrified due to the hand of Rimac, the latest special editions arrive. To end its commercial life comes the Bugatti Chiron Profile, an authentic one-off that will be auctioned on February 1, 2023 for charity and that has unique characteristics. The Chiron Pur Sport is taken as a base and modifications are made to improve it in some aspects.
It must be remembered that the Pur Sport was intended to be more effective on twisty roads, even if that meant putting aside that top speed that Bugatti had always sought. However, in this Profilee the purity and refinement of the original model has also been sought. This translates into dispensing with the large rear wing of the Pur Sport and resorting to other solutions. has incorporated a duck tail spoilerbut with an opening that allows air to pass through it.
It guarantees the stability of the Chiron at high speeds and helps the cooling of its engine thanks to the negative pressure and two tunnels in the upper part. In the front part there are also changes, because it has some widened air intakes and a redesigned front splitter to favor aerodynamics. Although it is true that it continues to prioritize lateral grip and maximum acceleration ahead of a record top speed. For this, he keeps the W16 with four turbos and 8.0 liters that stays at 1,500 hp instead of the 1,600 CV that it gets in others like the Super Sport or the Centodieci.
The benefits continue to perplex most humans, as the Bugatti Chiron Profilée is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.3 seconds, does 0 to 200 km/h in 5.5 seconds and stays at a not inconsiderable 380 km/h top. It’s already 30 km/h more than the Pur Sport due to aerodynamic changes and 15% longer gear ratios. At the chassis level, the angles of inclination of the wheels also change and some shocks that are 10% stiffer than those of a Chiron Sport.
The setup is one of the quirkier things about the supercar. The body goes in the exclusive color Silver Atlantic which is not (and will not be) present in any other Chiron. Some parts go in exposed carbon fiber of the color Blue Royal Carbon. The wheels are also specific and the accents are aluminum. The same goes for the handmade interior, which is also the first to carry a full leather finish. It is also present on the dashboard, the door panels and the center console and it took 2,500 meters of leather strips to make it.
The seats of the Bugatti Chiron Profilée are comfort finished in leather Rafale Gray Y Deep Blue, featuring the quilted “air parade” pattern, while bearing the special edition name on the door panels. In short, a unique model that will pass into the hands of a lucky owner who is willing to bid for it in the RM Sotheby’s auction next February. It is to be expected that its price will exceed the 3 million euros that a Chiron Pur Sport cost before taxes.
