Dubai's One-of-One Bugatti Sighting: The Chiron Super Sport 55

Dubai's supercar scene just witnessed automotive royalty. A unique Bugatti Chiron Super Sport "55" surfaced on its streets, drawing crowds faster than free money.

This isn't your average billionaire's Bugatti.

When Heritage Gets a VIN Number

The Chiron Super Sport 55 exists because someone with unfathomable wealth decided regular hypercars are too common.

Commissioned through Bugatti's Sur Mesure program, this one-off creation pays homage to the 1932 Type 55 Super Sport designed by Jean Bugatti.

Its two-tone black and yellow livery doesn't just look striking—it's a direct nod to Ettore Bugatti's preferred color scheme from nearly a century ago.

Hand-painted "55" patterns adorn the exterior, because subtlety isn't what you're after when spending eight figures on a car.

Mechanical Brutality, Unchanged

Under that bespoke bodywork sits the same mechanical violence as any Chiron Super Sport:

  • 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine producing 1,578 horsepower
  • Top speed of 261 mph (420 km/h)
  • 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds

Bugatti didn't mess with perfection. The engineering remains untouched—only the aesthetics received the one-off treatment.

Unicorn Status Confirmed

The interior matches the exterior's exclusivity. Black leather dominates, with yellow stitching providing visual contrast that echoes the exterior's theme.

Dubai seems the natural habitat for such machinery. Where else would a car worth more than most people's lifetime earnings casually roll through traffic?

When spotted, it reportedly traveled with police escort—the automotive equivalent of traveling with your own security detail.

The car represents the ultimate expression of Bugatti's heritage. It delivers performance numbers that demolish physics while looking like nothing else on earth.

No word on who commissioned it, but they've created the automotive equivalent of a fingerprint—utterly unique and impossible to replicate.
