The commission marked 110 years of the marque and referred to Jean Bugatti's black Atlantic, chassis 57453, which disappeared before the Second World War. The customer car required two years of development after the reveal. Bugatti completed it in 2021 with its own carbon body, Havana Brown interior and the 1'500 PS Chiron W16. | Highlight | Detail | | --- | --- | | The show car was not the car | Bugatti revealed the design in Geneva in March 2019, then spent two years engineering and testing the customer vehicle.
