Bugatti Honors Ettore's Daughter with Special Edition
The California coast's stunning roads are packed with the humming motors of exclusive sports cars. Now, you can add the newly-released Bugatti Chiron L'Ébé to your collection and cruise the coast in ultimate luxury!
L'Ébé Bugatti, the daughter and firstborn of Ettore Bugatti, shared a deep bond with her father. Bugatti is now honoring her with a limited series of three cars. For the final delivery of the Chiron and Chiron Sport in Europe, Bugatti's designers developed a Chiron and two Chiron Sport named L'Ébé. All three hand-crafted hypersports cars bear unique details in the Art Deco style.
As the eldest child of Ettore and Barbara Bugatti, L'Ébé, born in 1903, she had more insight into the extraordinary rise of Bugatti than anyone else. Ettore even hid the initials " EB” in her first name so L'Ébé would not have to forgo the Bugatti surname even after marriage. In her later book, The Story of Bugatti, a biography of Ettore, she gave invaluable details into the brand's and her father's history.
A Permanent Part of Company History
Now, L’Ébé has also become an essential part of Bugatti's history. The Chiron and Chiron Sport L’Ébé draw inspiration from her love of Art Deco style. Chiron’s character lines are mostly echoed in the famous Bugatti Type 57 G Tank that won Le Mans in 1937 – here on the L’Ébé. Those lines are accented in gold, shimmering against the exposed blue-tinted carbon body. Gold highlights adorn the “EB” badging, the famous horseshoe grille, and parts of the 8.0-liter W16 engine cover. Even the wheels come with an understated gold tint.
L’Ébé’s signature logo is hidden subtly on the underside of the retractable rear spoiler and the treadplates and hand-stitched into the headrests of the seats. The cabin subtly mirrors the exterior, with exposed blue-tinted carbon visible throughout and a light versus dark theme, hinting at L’Ébé’s dark blue body and gold highlights. The door panel on the driver’s side is finished predominantly in silk leather with lake blue highlights. The passenger’s door, meanwhile, reverses the color scheme. Each door panel features a motif of the visual evolution of Bugatti’s most iconic cars, from early Grand Prix racers to EB110, Veyron, and Chiron. L’Ébé’s numerous custom touches showcase Bugatti’s limitless creativity and craftsmanship regarding exclusive tailor-made projects.
Comfort, Usability and Reliability
“L’Ébé Bugatti’s biography of her father consists of numerous diary entries by Ettore himself, letters from his early employees, customers, business partners, and her experiences. It helps a lot to understand Ettore’s personality, goals, and the appreciation everyone had for him and his products,” said Christophe Piochon, president of Bugatti Automobiles. “With this knowledge, we could transmit the Bugatti DNA into the present while maintaining the essence, grade of perfection, and quality standards up to this day.
“Through this unique configuration and use of her name for the final Chiron and Chiron Sport, we wanted to honor her (L’Ébé) with the status she deserves in our brand’s history.”
The Bugatti Chiron, introduced in 2016, was the first production car to deliver 1,500 PS of power, creating an entirely new sector of hypersports car performance. Its 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbocharged engine, advanced four-wheel-drive system, and lightweight chassis set new standards for acceleration, top speed, handling, comfort, usability and reliability.
It has since become the template for several different evolutions of the Bugatti hypersport car, including the Chiron Sport, Chiron Pur Sport, and Chiron Super Sport. The three exclusive Bugatti Chiron L’Ébé mark the end of Chiron and Chiron Sport in Europe. The price of the newest addition to the Bugatti line is US$3.1 million.
