Dallara & Michelin
PARTNERS
Italian race specialist Dallara and tyre partner Michelin were deeply involved — the record would not have been possible without them.

EXTENDED FOR SPEED

W16 · QUAD-TURBO
An 8.0-litre W16 with four turbochargers. 0–400 km/h in 28.6 seconds — the speed at which planes fly.
Luxury and Speed,
IN RARE HARMONY
The world's fastest production car — and its most luxurious traveller.
The Chiron Super Sport is the "longitudinal" end of Bugatti's spectrum of performance —
the counterpart to the corner-hungry Pur Sport.
Born within the Chiron family's 500-unit programme, it has a personality of its own:
top speed raised from the standard Chiron's 420 km/h to 440 km/h, 100 PS more power,
the body extended by 25 cm — rebuilt for straights and long journeys.

Chiron, Specialised for Top Speed
The Chiron (420 km/h) and the Chiron Super Sport (440 km/h) share the W16 heart and all-wheel drive — but the Super Sport answers "can extreme speed and comfort coexist" with a longer tail, more power and lower drag. Grand Tourisme, established.
"Form follows performance" — from the front splitter to the rear diffuser, every centimetre of the skin is designed for top speed.

Shaped by SpeedAerodynamics
"Only perfect incoming airflow will keep harmful turbulence at bay." — Frank Heyl. Scroll — each answer unfolds.
Aero · 01
Drag and Downforce in Perfect Harmony
Months in the wind tunnel — just enough downforce to stay stable at extreme speed.
Aero · 02
Function and Emotion
Nine cylindrical outlets pay homage to the EB 110 Super Sport — 20 to 30 kg of downforce at 380 km/h, without adding resistance.
Aero · 03
Aero-Balance
Air curtains keep the flow tight to the body; radiator airflow is about 8% higher than the Chiron's.
Aero · 04
Blowing in the Wind
The longtail cuts the tear-off area by 40% — and the proportions are wider, lower-slung.
Aero · 05
Stacked Quad Exhaust
Exhausts moved to the sides, freeing the center for the diffuser — total size up 32%. Titanium 3D-printed bezels as thin as 0.4 mm.

The Wind Tunnel Finale
In top-speed mode the wing retracts almost completely. Drag coefficient 0.35, neutral lift.

Above 400 km/h, it generates just enough downforce to stay stable.

Power & ControlEngineering
From a W16 strengthened to 1,600 PS, to every tyre at 440 km/h — engineering makes power controllable.
W16 · THE PINNACLE OF POWER
W16: The Pinnacle of Power
8.0 litres, 16 cylinders, four turbochargers — more than 3,500 parts assembled entirely by hand. First fired in 2001 at 1,000+1 PS, it evolved over two decades: 1,000 PS in the Veyron, 1,200 PS in the Super Sport, 1,500 PS in the Chiron and 1,600 PS in the Super Sport. An asymmetric 45-degree firing order gives it a voice like no other.
The Heart · W16
The 1,600 PS Heart
8.0 litres, 16 cylinders, four turbochargers — no larger than a V12, weighing about 400 kg, with more than 3,500 parts assembled entirely by hand. From the Veyron's 1,000 PS to the Super Sport's 1,600 PS, this engine defined Bugatti's era of extreme speed.
Craft · 01
Eight Conrods
Every burst from the 16 cylinders is carried by eight connecting rods.

One Crankshaft
The reciprocation of 16 cylinders converges on a single crankshaft — balance and strength in one.

1,618 PS: Verification at the Limit
At 420 km/h, a tyre revolves more than 50 times a second, with forces on the tread around 4,000 g. Only the Chiron Super Sport can push this dyno — capable of 480 km/h — to its limits.

The RecordsThe Records
On 2 August 2019, Bugatti became the first manufacturer to break the 300 mph barrier.
02.08.2019 · EHRA-LESSIEN · GERMANY
304.773 MPH — 490.484 KM/H
A near-production Chiron prototype became the first production-based car past 300 mph. A world record.
"We have become the first manufacturer to reach the magic 300-mile-per-hour mark — making ourselves, the entire team and myself, incredibly proud."
The Run · Record Drive
From 300 km/h, in Steps of 50
Andy Wallace worked his way up from 300 km/h in 50 km/h increments to confirm the aero balance. After one warm-up lap, he exited the north curve at 200 km/h, held full throttle for about 70 seconds on the 8.8-kilometre straight, then braked over two kilometres through the south bend — covering 136 metres every second.
The Track · Why Ehra-Lessien
Low Altitude, the Highest Safety Standard
At just 50 metres above sea level, Ehra-Lessien's denser air is a handicap — above 400 km/h the car runs as if against a wall, and altitude can make up to 25 km/h of difference. Yet it is the only place in the world meeting Bugatti's safety standards: a 21-kilometre three-lane straight lined with crash barriers, rescue services at both ends, and the road cleaned with special mats before the run.
The Day · 01
The Driver
Andy Wallace straps on his helmet — Le Mans winner. In 1998 he set a 391 km/h record in a McLaren F1 on this same straight; today he is about to open a lap at 490 km/h.

"What you see is what you get. If it looks like hand-drawn sketches, then it must be exactly that." — Every Chiron Super Sport can be unique.
GOLDEN ERA · THE PINNACLE OF HAND-CRAFTED LUXURY
Golden Era: The Pinnacle of Hand-Crafted Luxury
Two artists, 45 hand-drawn sketches and a newly developed 'Doré' gold gradient — over two years, Bugatti's century of history was drawn, line by line, onto a Nocturne-black body.
Sur Mesure · Golden Era
A Hand-Drawn Chronicle of Bugatti
45 hand-drawn sketches: 19 on the driver's side (1987 to today), 26 on the passenger side (1909–1956) — a newly developed 'Doré' gold gradient flowing over Nocturne black, two years in the making.

A tribute to chassis 50177, the 1931 Le Mans legend: lustrous black, a hand-painted '5' on both flanks, 'Le Mans 1931' script and the engine-turned 'Perlée' finish — even the underside of the rear wing carries a complete map of the 1931 Circuit de la Sarthe.

A Two-Tone Tribute
Jean Bugatti's groundbreaking duotone scheme, recreated in black and yellow: a black centreline over the nose, a fading '55' pattern across the fenders, and '55 1 of 1' in cursive under the wing — with Jean's signature on the sill and dedication plate.
