Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport

There will be only 60 units of the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport in the entire world, and while this latest production model from the company in Molsheim hasn’t been available in the United States of America for long, she hasn’t failed to impress some of the most important automotive publications during their test drives.

“The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is the best car I’ve ever driven. Period. Full stop. End of story. It just is.” from Motor Trend

“Less weight, more grip, and shorter gearing make the Pur Sport an even wilder Bugatti Chiron.” from Car and Driver

“The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Is Worth Every Penny. Your $4 million car better be good, and this Bugatti delivers.” from Autoweek

“The Pur Sport offers U.S. customers a new dimension of the Chiron that doesn’t require the Autobahn to fully experience,” said Cedric Davy, Chief Operating Officer of Bugatti of the Americas. “We now have the car for those customers who have been waiting for a Chiron geared more towards agility and dynamic cornering.”

Even 24 Hour of Le Mans class winner and longtime Bugatti test driver Butch Leitzinger was impressed with the Chiron Pur Sport during extended testing in Southern California, he stated: “The seamless marriage of agility and brute force give the Pur Sport abilities that are unmatched, not only by any other car, but also by any other Bugatti.”

First Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport delivered in the USA

2021 begins with the world’s first delivery of a Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport in the USA. Bugatti Greenwich, the official dealer/partner of the French luxury brand, recently handed over to its customer the keys to happiness. “Bugatti of Greenwich is honored to have delivered the world’s first Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport to a very valued and loyal client. A long time Bugatti aficionado who now holds the keys to the purest Bugatti ever made,” says Evan Cygler, Sales Manager Bugatti Greenwich.

Like every Bugatti, the first Chiron Pur Sport is unique and individualized to perfection down to the smallest detail by its new owner: On the outside, the upper part of the vehicle is dominated by Quartz White with Pur Sport Split in Grey Carbon, while the lower part is also in grey exposed carbon. The entire roof, rear wing, horseshoe, and side mirrors are also in Grey Carbon, with accents in “Gun Powder”. The icing on the cake: the optional Sky View, which gives the driver a view of the sky. The Pur Sport color split contrasts with the “Italian Red” leather interior.

Bugatti has calibrated the Chiron Pur Sport for agility, handling, and driving performance. In addition to immense power; it also offers a high level of comfort and is suitable for everyday use. It is powered by an 8.0-liter W16 engine delivering 1,500 PS and 1,600-newton meters that is designed for an engine speed of up to 6,900 rpm in the agile Chiron Pur Sport. With the assistance of a 15 percent shorter transmission ratio, the Chiron Pur Sport accelerates even faster than the Chiron. The Chiron Pur Sport catapults from zero to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds, to 200 km/h in a mere 5.5 seconds, and to 300 km/h in less than twelve seconds. Compared to the Chiron, the new model’s elasticity has improved to 3.4 seconds in the 60 to 100 km/h range and to just 2.4 seconds from 80 to 120 km/h. Grip-optimized tires and sophisticated aerodynamics with a fixed rear wing ensure more downforce and lateral dynamics.

The Chiron Pur Sport is produced in the Atelier in Molsheim, Alsace since autumn 2020. In total there will only be 60 vehicles at a unit price of 3 million euros (net).
