Bugatti has put on its party hat.

It’s been six years since the French carmaker started production of its W16-powered Chiron hypercar, and it’s now celebrating the 400th example rolling out of its atelier in Molsheim.

The 400th Bugatti Chiron is a high-performance Super Sport variant with a bare carbon fibre body that has been tinted dark green.

On the inside the customer opted for a full leather upholstery with green and beluga black on the seats, and black on the rest of the interior.

It took 20 “craftspeople” around two months to hand-build this Chiron Super Sport from around 1800 separate components.

At the heart of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is the company’s iconic 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine which produces 1176kW of power.
