Bugatti has finally reached the end of the Chiron era.
This is it. For a few years, automotive enthusiasts have known that Bugatti’s 500-car production run of the incredible Chiron hypercar would soon come to an end, and that end has arrived. With the next upcoming Bugatti hypercar boasting a hybrid V16 powertrain, the future is exciting. Still, the end of the Chiron is an undoubtedly bittersweet moment in automotive history. However, the century-old manufacturer ensured that the Chiron went out with a bang, with the final build being ceremoniously named ‘L’Ultime.’
With nearly 1,600 horsepower and the achievement of being the first production car to surpass a 300-mph top speed, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport L’Ultime is the 500th and last Chiron build. Its design reflects that of the first Chiron shown at the Geneva Auto Show in 2016, reinterpreting its Atlantic Blue and French Racing Blue scheme with beautiful fading colors and Sur Mesure details throughout, including a special blue Bugatti logo on the grille and handwritten places and events important to the Chiron’s legacy.
Most importantly, the number 500, designating the L’Ultime as the final build, adorns the exterior and is engraved on the engine cover. Inside, blue carbon fiber sits alongside Deep Blue leather, with accents in French Racing Blue. With stunning bespoke details, fastidious artisan craftsmanship from Bugatti Sur Mesure, and the pinnacle performance engineering that made the Chiron one of the world’s greatest hypercars to date, the new Bugatti Chiron Super Sport ‘L’Ultime’ is a fitting finale for one of the biggest milestones in recent automotive history, and while it’s sad to see the Chiron go, this spectacular farewell only builds more excitement for what’s to come next.
