The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport of 2021 wastes no time and refines its potential in its natural habitat: the track

I’m one of those who admits to feeling fear towards some cars. Specifically, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport of 2021 unveiled in mid-March fills me with dread: its sharp gaze, its defiant stance and its brooding presence send shivers down my spine. But every frightening situation generates adrenaline, and this spectacular car gives me an addiction of its own, like those hair-raising attractions where the scares staged by performers in disguise lead to moments that make you want one more ride, and another, and another…

That said, the latest creation pulled from the top hat of magician Stephan Winkelmann is a stroke of genius as well as a coup de théâtre. For those who argue there is no sense or logic in cars that barely exceed the legal speed limits, 130 km/h in the brand’s native France, for example, this vehicle proves that its nature lies far beyond the roads, designed to allow little more than a third of what this hypercar is capable of reaching without much effort.

Because the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport of 2021 is a car that can travel from the garage where it is kept to the track where it is admired. A car destined to be the best of its kind on the track and not off it. That is why the Bugatti team, now freed from the restrictions imposed by the German government due to the Covid-19 pandemic, headed to the Bilster Berg circuit in Germany as soon as it was possible to fine-tune the definitive machine.

Be that as it may, as if it were the spiritual successor of the Bugatti EB110 LM, the brand-new Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport of 2021 takes up the baton of what could be, were it not for the fact that it almost completely breaks the regulations of the current WEC cars that were due to battle it out at the La Sarthe circuit next June, now postponed to September, nor of the new generation of Le Mans hypercars, but it does so as a car homologated to be driven like any other car, were it not for its price, on any public road.

To achieve this milestone, the company responsible for the most exclusive automotive craftsmanship in the world filmed part of the test day and, to delight its followers and tease the customers of the units they have already reserved, has kindly shared this video along with the photo album, which you can use to decorate your desktop wallpaper or even to make posters or paintings to adorn the walls of your home or garage, where up to three pre-production examples tear across the track giving it their all on the German circuit.
