Bugatti has unveiled the one-off '55 One of One' Chiron, designed by its in-house Sur Mesure team, to honour the classic Type 55 Super Sport, which was designed by its founder's son, Jean Bugatti. The special edition closely mimics the appearance of the original model, with its dual-tone black and yellow colour scheme and black midline. It comes with a black grille border, ten-spoke wheels with yellow EB insignia, and a hand-applied '55' motif, which extends from the front fenders to the headlamps. Additionally, the car has a dual-tone rear wing with the label '55 1 of 1' engraved on the bottom.
Inside the cabin, a dual-tone theme is maintained with leather and Alcantara upholstery. The familiar '55' pattern begins on the doors and extends to the dash. Other notable interior highlights of the bespoke model include embroidered headrests, carbon fibre accents, and special sill plates autographed by Jean Bugatti.
