February 14 ,2019
Every now and then, an automaker would decide to unveil a limited-edition variant of their flagship vehicle. However, it is all together a different story when the automaker of one of the finest Hyper cars decides to put limited production vehicles up for sale. It is said that the difference between good and great is the attention to detail, especially when these details hide in plain sight. At first, the Bugatti Chiron Sport “110 ANS Bugatti” looks quite simple, yet so elegant and unique. Indeed, this elegance comes from the tiny details that have been mastered by the bare hands of Bugatti’s engineers and designers.
Firstly, lets dive into the significance and purpose behind the 110 ANS Bugatti, 110 ANS signifies the historic 110 years of Bugatti since the day they built their very first car, the Bugatti Type 13. Over the years, Bugatti has made quite a name of themselves by breaking records and being slotted up there with some of the greatest automakers in history, as well as in the modern-day world. With the 110 ANS Bugatti, the company wanted to show honor and respect to their home country, and in order to that subtle accents of the French tricolor “Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge” are seen around the interior and exterior of the car, with one obvious exception being under the rear wing, which features the French flag over the entire width of the wing. “With the limited Chiron Sport ‘110 ans Bugatti’, Bugatti is ushering in the 110th anniversary of its foundation. At the same time, we are underlining our origin and our French roots in Molsheim,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti Automobiles.
As mentioned earlier, the Bugatti 110 ANS gets its presence from the attention to detail. While it might not be evident at first sight, after taking a closer look one can notice a carbon fiber weave all throughout the body, with the exception being the Bugatti line and the typical Bugatti radiator, which is finished in aluminum. The paint work on the body consist of multiple different shades and variants of Blue, which comes together to result in a spec quite unique. The exposed carbon fiber on the front end is finished with Steel Blue Carbon, while the rear-end and the “C” line surrounding the passenger compartment are finished in matt Steel Blue. Matt steel Blue is a shade that is created using a highly complex process and the final finish gives out a proper hot-rolled steel look. Furthermore, the wheels are finished in matt black, contrasting the French racing blue on the “B” emblem and the brake calipers. To top it all off, the rear end is dominated by glossy Steel Blue Carbon fiber which has quite the visual appeal. The Bugatti logo at the back, along with the quad exhaust pipes match the matt black of the wheels, adding a contrast to the various shades of blue.
Enough with the exterior, jumping into the interior of the 110 ANS Bugatti, it is mostly dominated by upholstered finished in soft Deep Blue leather, which compliments the carbon blue exterior. The hand-crafted seats are also dominated by Deep blue leather, contrasted by French racing blue leather on the contours of the seat. A vertical, French tricolor stitch runs down the middle of the seats, complementing the same on the 12 o’clock of the steering wheel.
Only 20 units of the Chiron Sport 110 ANS Bugatti will be built, and while there is no word on the price yet, chances are it could vary greatly from customer to customer based on their personal preferences. One thing remains certain, that with the celebration of their 110thanniversary, Bugatti expects the Chiron Sport to become one of the most highly valued Bugatti, or at least that is what is reflected in a statement made by Achim Anscheidt, Chief Designer of Bugatti Automobiles, “The design element also establishes a link to the historic Type 57 SC Atlantic, which is now one of the world’s most valuable cars.”
