There is only one Bugatti Profil\u00e9e<\/h2>\n

Recently, the Bugatti Chiron Profil\u00e9e\u00b9, an automotive solitaire, was auctioned in Paris by RM Sotheby\u2019s. With production of all Bugatti models \u2013 the recently launched W16 Mistral\u00b2, the Bolide\u00b3 and all Chiron\u2074 models \u2013 being sold out, this auction represented the final opportunity to become one of the few worldwide custodians able to enjoy a Bugatti hyper sports car and its iconic W16 engine directly from the Atelier in Molsheim. Created in direct response to customer demand for something more radical than the Chiron Sport\u2075 but less extreme than the Chiron Pur Sport\u2076, without sacrificing performance and comfort, the Chiron Profil\u00e9e is a unique car in every sense. With the production of the Chiron completely sold out during the Profil\u00e9e\u2019s development, it could not be introduced as a full production model. But rather than hide away this pre-series car, Bugatti has decided to bring this one single example to roadgoing reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Auction<\/h3>\n

The car recently arrived at Paris\u2019s famous Carrousel du Louvre, where it was auctioned by RM Sotheby\u2019s \u2013 Lot 177\/200. When the auctioneer\u2019s hammer came down on this particularly special lot, it marked a significant moment in time, and a price of \u20ac9,792,500. The new owner of the Profil\u00e9e will not only capture a one-of-a-kind piece of Bugatti history but also the very last new Bugatti with a W16 engine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Completely Unique<\/h3>\n

The Profil\u00e9e is absolutely unique. Only one exists, and there will never be another. It features a rich, hand-crafted interior with woven leather as well as bespoke aerodynamic developments \u2013 including the only sweeping fixed tail in Bugatti\u2019s modern history \u2013 and wheels developed specifically for this model. Befitting the Profil\u00e9e\u2019s status as an automotive solitaire, Bugatti\u2019s designers created a very specific paint color exclusively for this car: Argent Atlantique. To complement this exquisite finish, a Bleu Royal Carbon tint was applied to the exposed carbon fiber of the car\u2019s lower section as an homage to Bugatti\u2019s distinctive duo-tone pattern. Other details which can only be found on the Profil\u00e9e include a tailor-made wheel design inspired by the Bugatti famous horseshoe grille.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Performance<\/h3>\n

The 380 km\/h machine, powered by Bugatti\u2019s incomparable 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, possesses the same ferocious acceleration as the Pur Sport, capable of reaching 100 km\/h from rest in just 2.3 seconds. Due to the new aerodynamic design, its top speed is 30 km\/h higher than the Pur Sport\u2019s. Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles, said: \u201cUnprecedented demand for the Chiron models meant that, despite all the developments and tests we had already done, we could not bring the Profil\u00e9e to production. But how could we not finish such a beautifully designed and engineered car? Offering it for sale at auction through RM Sotheby\u2019s will give our customers, but also Bugatti devotees around the world, a fair chance of acquiring and enjoying this truly historic car.\u201d<\/p>\n
