Bugatti had previous for celebrating 110th anniversaries. The EB 110 supercar of the 1990s gained its name in honour of what would have been the birthday of eponymous company creator, the late Ettore Bugatti. Then in July 2019, the ‘110 Ans Bugatti’ variant of the lighter Chiron Sport was announced as an homage to the marque’s true founding in 1909. Limited to just 20 cars, the special edition was also a tribute to the Molsheim-based operation’s proud French history.

Accordingly, the bodywork around the rear and the signature C-shaped line enveloping the cabin was painted in matte Steel Blue to complement front end panels finished in exposed Steel Blue Carbon. The two-tone colour combination to divide the monocoque and engine compartment—also a motif revived by the Veyron 16.4 from 2005—was reminiscent of Bugatti models from the 1920s. Further in keeping with tradition, the staple horseshoe radiator remained crafted out of aluminium.

The mirror caps and sandblasted, hand-polished filler cap were detailed with the famous French Tricolore “Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge” representing the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Meanwhile, the entire underside of the active rear wing was painted in the colours of the national flag. Positioned directly below: a matte black EB logo to match the finish given to the sports exhaust system. These flourishes were further enhanced by the French Racing Blue hue applied to the callipers for the ceramic brakes, which nestled behind “Nocturne” matte black alloy wheels.

A similar treatment was given to the hand-crafted Deep Blue leather interior, courtesy of the Tricolore-influenced embroidery on the backs and headrests of the sports seats, and the top-centre marker on the carbon fibre and blue leather steering wheel. Above the occupants lay Bugatti’s “Sky View” roof. Normally an option for Chiron models, the two laminated glass fixed panels were fitted as standard for the ‘110 Ans Bugatti’ edition.

While a celebration of a proud history, the model retained Bugatti’s pioneering powertrain. It gained the Chiron Sport model’s colossal 8-litre W-16 fed by no fewer than four turbochargers to achieve an output of 1,500 PS. That enabled a sub-2.4-second launch to 100 km/h and a 420 km/h top speed.

The 2020 model year example offered here boasts single ownership from new, having been registered in Germany on 25 November 2019. It was recorded at 1,215 kilometres when the Chiron was first serviced on 9 April 2021, with a second service completed on 7 November 2023. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer now displays only 1,461 kilometres. The car is further complemented by its original Chiron accessory box, famed speed key, charger, car cover, and books.

With Bugatti poised to switch to a hybrid V-16 configuration for its next hypercar, here is a remarkable opportunity to acquire a Chiron, the last model to deploy the statement quad-turbocharged W-16 tour de force. This car is made only more special by virtue of being an eminently collectable ‘110 Ans Bugatti’ edition that celebrates a hugely significant company and country history.
