Auto – News, Bugatti Chiron: in the rearview mirror, a tribute to the car that ran at Le Mans

Another special edition Bugatti Chiron has caught our attention. Will it be the last before he retires? Probably, since we should see his successor this year. In any case, the Molsheim company wants to pay homage to its past, taking inspiration from the Type 50S, with this new one. Chiron Homage T50S. The base is from the Super Sport but it sounds like an old racing car that saw Bugatti for the first time at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1931. What can I say… it’s just amazing.

Elegant as no one can be

It’s still a car, but here there are many details that make it different, starting with the “dress”, an elegant black dress that covers the bodywork, a kind of tuxedo. On the sides as in the front grill we have the “number 5”, but the most refined detail is the reference to the Circuit de la Sarthe and the text “Le Mans 1931” that we find in front of the rear wheels and. on the underside of the rear wing. In addition, small, orange side indicators on the wheel arches, which indicate that the owner may live in the United States.

Going up the board we find more markings, such as the number 1931 displayed on the sides of the central tunnel and on the headers. Inside the doors there is also a stylized design of the old Type 50S. Everything is black, everything is very well maintained, like the Sky View glass roof. Are you already thinking? The price is unknown, but estimates speak of 4 million euros. Start breaking the piggy bank!
