The Bugatti 57 One of One has been unveiled as an ultra-exclusive, 273mph tribute to the 1934 Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic. 

Based on the Chiron Super Sport, this newest particular version might be one of many final to be produced, with the Chiron bought out and its hybrid successor due to be revealed within the coming months.   

Commissioned by an American buyer who has by no means owned a Bugatti earlier than, it was conceived to finally be thought-about as “iconic” because the Atlantic – broadly thought-about to be some of the stunning vehicles on the planet. 

The new Chiron variant will get a collection of standout design options, together with a brand new upright horseshoe entrance grille with 14 polished vertical slats, as on the Atlantic.

The “completely authentic” blue paint on the bodywork and wheels can also be a reference to the 1934 automobile and the underside of the rear spoiler contains a hand-drawn silhouette of the Atlantic and the slogan ’57 One of One’.

Elsewhere exterior, it takes after the ‘customary’ Chiron Super Sport in that includes stacked quad exhausts, a C-shaped aspect profile, a bluff rear finish with a bumper-width mild bar, distinguished beltlines and a W16 engine bay principally lined for aerodynamics.

Jascha Straub, the lead designer of Bugatti’s Sur Mesure personalisation programme, stated: “For years I’ve been idly dreaming of reinterpreting this icon, so I already had my own ideas of what I would do to honour the most elegant car ever designed. That meant that right away we could sit down and begin evolving the design to realise (the customer’s) vision together.”
