JAKARTA - The era of Bugatti Chiron officially ended, marked by the birth of one last masterpiece unit, Chiron Super Sport L'Ultime. This car is not only a farewell, but also a celebration of Chiron's extraordinary eight-year achievement.

L'Ultime, which is now being assembled by expert craftsmen at Molsheim, appears as a tribute to Chiron's journey which immediately becomes an unrivaled icon of hypersport car performance. Production was limited from the start to only 500 units.

It is known, since its release in 2016 Chiron was the first highway car to break a record 1,500 PS and penetrate a speed of 300 mph (483 km/hour).

Not only marking the end of Chiron's journey, L'Ultime is also the end of the history of the legendary W16 16-cylinder Bugatti engine. Instead, Chiron's successor will be equipped with a 1000 dk hybrid V16 engine.

"Merek Bugatti is not only built on performance, but also absolute expertise, sophistication, and misery, which is the highest peak in the automotive world," said President Bugatti Automobiles Christophe Piochon, in the manufacturer's media space, quoted May 31.

"This very special Super Sport - the last masterpiece in the Chiron family that defines the era - embodies these values, linking unrivaled core attributes with ease and full of purpose," he added.

L'Ultime has a special Atlantic Blue and French Racing Blue color combination, separated by a C-line line made from aluminum alloy poles, becoming an unforgettable hallmark.

For L'Ultime, the Bugatti Sur Mesure team re-juvenated the design. The color combination is stunning with fine gradation, symbolizing the evolution of Bugatti's expertise for eight years. Not only that, the car body is also decorated with handwriting that marks the location and important events of Chiron's journey.

The philosophy of 'bullet speed' is also interpreted in this car. With this handwriting, L'Ultime seemed to tell about his journey to an unrivaled record high speed.

Apart from aesthetics, L'Ultime is also thick with elements of Chiron's history. The side of the body shows important moments, such as launches in Geneva, testing on the Paul Ricard circuit, to achieving 300 mph on the Ehra-Lessien track.

Then, the number "500" as a marker of Chiron's last unit is not only listed on the exterior, but also on the engine cover that protects the strong running heart of W16. This figure also marks the milestone of the history of Bugatti for 115 years, with 500 works of art second to none of them inspired by Ettore Bugatti's vision.

Through L'Ultime, Bugatti reiterated his position as a symbol of automotive excellence. While closing the Chiron era, Bugatti is ready to open a new sheet of unmatched performance cars, luxury wrapped in advantages, and special skills using the best materials.
