One of the rarest Bugattis in existence has surfaced in the United Arab Emirates, as the Chiron Super Sport “55 1 of 1” was recently spotted outside the Kempinski Central Avenue hotel. This ultra-exclusive hypercar, crafted by Bugatti Sur Mesure, was commissioned for a client in the Middle East and is a modern tribute to the iconic 1930 Type 55 Super Sport designed by Jean Bugatti.
Originally unveiled last year, the “55 1 of 1” stands apart with a striking yellow-and-black exterior, a color scheme that mirrors the original Type 55. The car also features a hand-applied “55” graphic on the front fenders, a nod to its inspiration. A unique detail is the underside of the rear wing, painted in bright yellow and displaying the number “55”, ensuring that even at high speeds, the tribute remains visible.
Inside, the Chiron Super Sport maintains its bespoke craftsmanship, with a black leather interior accented by hand-stitched yellow detailing that complements its striking exterior. Every element, from the dashboard to the seats, has been meticulously tailored to match the car’s historic theme while preserving Bugatti’s signature luxury.
Powered by Bugatti’s quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine, the Chiron Super Sport produces 1,578 horsepower, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world. With a top speed of 273 mph (440 km/h) and a 0-60 mph sprint in just 2.4 seconds, this bespoke hypercar combines elite performance with automotive artistry.

With such exclusivity and heritage, the Chiron Super Sport “55 1 of 1” stands as a rolling tribute to Bugatti’s rich legacy while pushing the boundaries of modern performance.
