About the Car
2024 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 55 One of One
The Type 55 Super Sport – a marvel of motorsport inspiration – boasted a 2.3-liter straight-eight engine derived from the formidable Type 51 racer. What set it apart, however, was the sought-after two-seater roadster body of Jean Bugatti’s design. As Bugatti's inaugural Super Sport, the Type 55 not only marked the foundation of a new category but it also served as the blueprint for all modern-day Super Sport models, redefining grand touring – seamlessly blending comfort with a remarkable top speed of 180 km/h.
Yet, Jean Bugatti’s ingenuity extended beyond engineering –
introducing the then groundbreaking duotone paint scheme that would
eventually inspire Bugatti’s iconic contemporary A/B color split. And
today, the most revered Type 55 model wears the timeless combination of
black and yellow.
The Type 55 Super Sport is a rare gem, with
only 38 units ever crafted. Its scarcity only adds to its status as a
coveted collectors’ piece. Its legacy, as the pioneer of the Grand Prix
car for the road segment, captured the imagination of a Chiron Super
Sport¹ customer and the Sur Mesure team.
For the customer and for
Jascha Straub, Manager of Sur Mesure and Individualization at Bugatti,
the ‘55 1 of 1’ commission was an opportunity to pay tribute to Jean
Bugatti’s groundbreaking creations that, in blending elegance and
engineering prowess, impacted the modern-day Bugatti brand. “Even 100
years after his time, we have remained totally connected to Jean and his
designs” noted Straub. “And inspiration for us today still comes from
Jean because he understood proportions better than anybody else and was
the first to offer cars combining comfort and sheer performance.
Imagine, almost 100 years ago, the Type 55 was able to reach 180 km/h.”
With
this at the forefront of his mind, Straub worked hand-in-hand with the
customer and the Bugatti partner in Dubai to delve into the marque’s
rich history, capture the aura of the Type 55 Super Sport and seamlessly
infuse it into the design of the contemporary Chiron Super Sport to
offer a timeless modern interpretation of the original car’s distinctive
elements.
In capturing the essence of the historic car, the Sur
Mesure team focused on the now famous duotone paint scheme introduced by
Jean with the Type 55, utilizing the black and yellow combination so
favored by Ettore Bugatti. On the Chiron Super Sport, the colors not
only serve to portray dynamism but also as a means to visually break up
the expansive surfaces of the hyper sports car. The design process was a
delicate balance between coloring specific areas and maintaining
cohesion with the overall design. The dominant focal point is a black
centerline reminiscent of the Type 55. This visual element is further
embellished through the grille design, which runs a black line around
the famous Bugatti central air intake, and a sleek yellow line that
flows from the back of the rear side of the car to the fenders.
Throughout
the creative development, Bugatti intensively worked to evolve and
modernize elements of the Type 55 to produce a car that is unmistakably
of this century, but one that respects to the early pioneering work of
Jean Bugatti whilst embodying the DNA of a Bugatti Sur Mesure project.
In
this sense, the ‘55 1 of 1‘ draws on an approach that involved
deploying a meticulously hand-applied fading ‘55’ pattern above the
headlights and over the fenders, to center attention to the horseshoe
grill and narrow the appearance of the front end – recalling the
distinctive fuselage shape of its predecessor, imparting a feeling of
elegance, but also one of strength and speed. “From a distance, the ‘55’
pattern ensures that the fender appears to be black like on the
original car,” said Jascha. “On the original historic car, where you
have some parts that end at a certain point, you can just paint until
the shut line. But with the Chiron Super Sport, it had to fade into
zero. It was a long and intricate process, but it was the right
approach.”
The ‘55 1 of 1’ commission balances its bold styling
with minimalist black 10-spoke wheels. A yellow ‘EB’ emblem in the
center delicately connects the alloy design to the Chiron Super Sport’s
bodywork. The underside of the rear wing meanwhile provides a distinct
link to the design’s roots – ‘55 1 of 1’ written in cursive nods to the
masterpiece that inspired this artistic creation.
Jean’s
meticulous attention to detail extended beyond the exterior, influencing
the interior aesthetic as well. As such, the references to the Type 55
Super Sport reach into the inside of the ‘55 1 of 1’. Featuring sleek
black leather that further accentuates the exterior aesthetic, the cabin
includes unique accents such as embroidered headrests displaying a
unique ‘55 1 of 1’ inscription. The fading ‘55’ motif also continues,
this time skillfully hand-stitched into the door panels in a vibrant
yellow color.
In further recognition of Jean Bugatti’s visionary
contributions, his signature is prominently placed on the door sill and
the car’s dedication plate. Together, these interior details not only
underscore the aesthetic allure of this Chiron Super Sport but also
create a deep connection between the driver and the storied heritage of
the Bugatti brand.
Bugatti Automobiles would like to thank the Musée
National de l’Automobile in Mulhouse for the generous loan of the
original Bugatti Type 55 chassis no. 55237, which was photographed along
with the Chiron Super Sport ‘55 1 of 1’ on Bugatti premises.
Situated
in Mulhouse, within the famed Alsace region of France, home to Bugatti,
the Musée National de l’Automobile brings together more than 600
revolutionary and emblematic automotive creations, including more than
100 of Bugatti’s most acclaimed models – each one painstakingly acquired
by the Schlumpf brothers over a period of three decades. From the
Bugatti Type 28 to the Bugatti Royale conceived in 1930 and the Bugatti
Veyron, each car is hand-picked for its historic significance and
breathtaking proportions.
