This distinct vision was conceived by a seasoned Bugatti connoisseur with a profound reverence for Bugatti’s storied past and the sophisticated engineering underpinning the W16 engine. The Chiron Super Sport, for this aficionado, wasn’t just an automotive marvel; it was an opportunity to commemorate the journey culminating in the W16 engine’s inception. Entrusted with this idea, Bugatti’s designers crafted a narrative epitomizing Bugatti’s essence, narrated through its most emblematic creations, leading to the inception of the ‘Golden Era.’
Achim Anscheidt, the erstwhile Design Director at Bugatti, elucidates the genesis of the ‘Golden Era’: “Our clientele possesses boundless creativity, and we ardently bring their aspirations to fruition. However, grandiloquent undertakings of this magnitude remain an infrequent indulgence—perhaps one or two such marvels annually. ‘Golden Era’, given its magnanimous vision and the labyrinthine ideation encapsulating it, stands as the zenith of bespoke endeavors our ensemble has embarked upon.
This distinguished patron, in our dialogues, postulated that the Chiron Super Sport and its W16 engine signified an automotive watershed. Aiming for unparalleled singularity, we delved into Bugatti’s illustrious annals, uncovering pivotal epochs—spanning Ettore Bugatti, Jean Bugatti, and Roland Bugatti’s tenures—that earmarked Bugatti’s first renaissance. Subsequently, juxtaposing it with the contemporary Bugatti era post-1987, we spotlighted the emblematic models that crystallized Bugatti’s legacy. Our concept encapsulated 45 artisanal sketches of these paragons, etched directly onto the vehicle—a concept that the connoisseur instantaneously embraced. Materializing this vision, though seemingly linear, demanded an unparalleled magnitude of dexterity and precision.”
