Bonhams is giving a rare chance for wealthy car lovers to get their hands on one of the world’s fastest and rarest road cars – the 2022 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. This extraordinary vehicle will be put up for auction on January 25 at the Scottsdale auction in Phoenix, Arizona, with an estimated price of $5 million to $5.5 million.
The 2016 Bugatti Chiron, the predecessor to the Chiron Super Sport 300+, was known for its impressive speed, limited to 267 mph due to the absence of suitable production tires for speeds approaching 300 mph. The 2016 Chiron was officially marketed with a top speed of 285-287 mph
To exceed the 300 mph mark, Bugatti increased the Chiron’s 8.0L W16 quad-turbo engine by 100 hp, bringing the Super Sport 300+ to an impressive 1600 hp. The vehicle’s body was lengthened by 10 inches, and the rear end underwent a redesign focused on pure aerodynamics, incorporating a lower diffuser and stacked tail piping.
During testing in 2019, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ achieved a record-breaking speed of 304 mph, earning it the title of the world’s fastest car. With only eight units destined for the USA out of a total production run of 30, this particular example, number 9 in the sequence, was delivered through Manhattan Motorcars in February 2023, with a mileage of just over 250 miles upon arrival.
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ impresses not only with its outstanding performance but also with its incredible design, which pays homage to Bugatti’s heritage and legacy. The striking black and orange color combination perfectly balances making a bold statement while maintaining an air of sophistication.
The outer shell of the car is made of woven black carbon fiber, giving it a beautiful and slightly menacing look when it catches the sunlight. Inside, the car features high-quality details such as Beluga black trim, cross-hatched leather seats with double stitching, Jet Orange contrasting trim pieces, an Alcantara steering wheel, and the iconic EB emblem.
The Chiron Super Sport 300+ is not only a high-performance vehicle but also a work of art, seamlessly blending design and speed in a way that captivates automotive enthusiasts and collectors alike.
