2019 BUGATTI CHIRON | VF9SP3V31KM795169

Body Styles

The Chiron is a two-door, two-seat mid-engine hypercar built on a carbon fiber monocoque. It features a low-slung, wide stance with Bugatti’s signature horseshoe grille, C-shaped side curve, and central spine running from nose to tail. The design seamlessly blends heritage cues from the Type 57 Atlantic and Veyron with futuristic aerodynamics.

Variants like the Pur Sport feature larger fixed rear wings and aggressive splitters, while the Super Sport has an elongated “longtail” rear end for improved aerodynamic efficiency. All versions have a retractable rear wing, active suspension, and a deployable airbrake.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“Chiron” is named after Louis Chiron, one of Bugatti’s most successful racing drivers of the pre-war era. His victories in the 1920s and 1930s, including at Monaco, symbolized Bugatti’s performance and prestige — a legacy the Chiron seeks to continue.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“Chiron” carries mythological and historical connotations. In Greek mythology, Chiron was a wise centaur known for his strength, intellect, and immortality — qualities fitting for a hypercar that pushes the limits of power, speed, and engineering endurance. The name sounds elegant and exclusive across global languages, aligning with Bugatti’s elite brand image.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Bugatti Chiron (2016–2024) was offered with an almost limitless degree of personalization, thanks to Bugatti’s Sur Mesure (customization) program, enabling clients to tailor the exterior and interior in bespoke configurations that reflected individual tastes, national identities, and even art commissions. While several base color schemes existed — such as French Racing Blue, Nocturne Black, Italian Red, Gris Rafale, and Silver Mercury — most Chirons were painted in two-tone themes, with the iconic C-shaped design line visually separating contrasting upper and lower body panels. Finishes included gloss, satin, matte, metallic, and even exposed carbon fiber, available in a wide range of tints including Blue Royal Carbon, Green Carbon, and Brown Carbon.

Bugatti offered over 20 shades of exposed carbon and metallic paints, along with hand-painted motifs, heritage racing liveries, and custom graphics commemorating specific owners or motorsport milestones. Special editions like the Chiron Sport, Pur Sport, Super Sport 300+, and Les Légendes du Ciel featured model-specific colors, such as Jet Orange, Gris Serpent, or Vagues de Lumière, each with unique visual textures and aerodynamic detailing.

The interior was equally customizable, using the finest Aniline leather, Alcantara, suede, and aluminum, along with carbon fiber, wood veneers, or even porcelain inlays on certain one-offs. Common leather colors included Beluga Black, Terra Cotta, Beige Chiaro, Blue France, and Cognac, with matching or contrasting stitching, embroidery, and piping. Customers could specify their initials, national flags, race numbers, or even constellation patterns on the roof lining or door panels. Seat backs, headrests, center consoles, and door sills could all be customized with etched metal or carbon fiber logos, further emphasizing exclusivity.

All Chirons came with ultra-lightweight forged alloy wheels, most commonly in 20-inch front / 21-inch rear staggered setups. Designs ranged from Y-spoke turbine alloys to diamond-cut carbon-look rims, often painted or polished in Titanium Silver, Black Diamond, Magnesium Grey, or custom body-matching colors. Track-focused versions like the Pur Sport featured magnesium wheels with aero blades and Michelin Cup 2 R tires, while the Super Sport 300+ included flow-optimized wheels designed for ultra-high-speed stability.

Brake calipers were available in a wide range of colors — including Bugatti Blue, Italian Red, French Racing Blue, Lime Green, Gold, and Matte Black — often engraved with the Bugatti logo or model designation. Behind the wheels sat massive carbon-ceramic rotors, engineered to bring the 1,500+ hp hypercar to a halt repeatedly and safely, even from speeds over 400 km/h.

vs Competitors

The Chiron stood almost alone during its production run. Its main rivals were limited to the Koenigsegg Jesko, Rimac Nevera, and McLaren Speedtail — each with a different focus. The Jesko targeted lap times and track sharpness. The Nevera offered electric torque and instant response. The Speedtail emphasized streamlined luxury.

The Chiron, however, blended world-record performance, peerless craftsmanship, and a grand touring ride. Unlike the spartan feel of a Koenigsegg, the Chiron delivered power with polish — ideal for 400 km/h blasts across Europe in silence and luxury.

Fun Fact

In 2019, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ became the first production car to exceed 300 mph, recording a verified 304.77 mph (490.48 km/h) at the Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany. Only 30 units of this version were built — making it not just the fastest Bugatti ever, but the first car to break the 300-mph barrier, rewriting the rulebook on production-car speed.
