The interior of the Bugatti Chiron suits the hyper car’s international-beating overall performance with more than a few bespoke luxury facilities, innovative era, large customizability, and tangible exclusivity. Everything from the custom-tuned audio machine to the coloration changing ambient lights has been carefully crafted to satisfy all of the senses of these fortunate few coming into its rarefied international.
Slack the Dampers for a Pleasant Ride
Despite being capable of sub-2.5sec 0-60mph times, the Chiron ensures sublime ride quality thanks to adjustable adaptive dampers and active suspension tech monitoring road conditions in real-time while isolating occupants from imperfections. Double-glazed windows further cosset residents, making this a hypercar easily capable of triple digit journeys without breaking a sweat or its passengers' backs.
Elegant center console
Inspired by the graceful Atlantic Coupe of 1938, the Chiron's milled metal and hand-polished center console evokes old-world art deco transport fused with contemporary high-tech style. The simplicity of its gear lever, climate control knobs and aluminum trim strip cleaves through the complexity of its engineering, much like the €2.4m ($2.7m / £2.1m) hypercar itself.
Diamond membrane tweeters
Four innovative 'full range speakers' use diamond membranes and compact housings to deliver exceptional clarity in the Chiron's custom audio setup, fine-tuned depending on seating arrangements. Bugatti has enlisted French specialists Accuton for these bespoke speaker units engineered specifically to take advantage of the hypercar’s unique interior acoustics and insulation.
Ample headroom
Thanks to its lightweight carbon fiber chassis, the Chiron doesn’t force occupants to scrunch down uncomfortably as owners of other supercars must. Instead an impressive 120mm of head clearance means tall drivers and passengers over 6 feet can get comfortable behind the wheel without compromising movement or visibility, even when wearing a racing helmet.
Limitless customization
One of the hallmarks of Bugatti ownership is the ability for clients to extensively customize the Chiron, turning this exclusive hypercar into a fully bespoke work by selecting from an expansive range of aesthetic and functional options. Everything from the quality of leather stitching to center console materials and ambient lighting colors allows the new owner to tailor this blank canvas precisely to their tastes.
C-Shaped Interior Lights
Upon opening the signature scissor doors, eyes are immediately drawn to an unbroken oval 'C-line' LED strip spanning the cabin. Comprised of over 900 nodes and measuring nearly 3 meters long, this standout feature contains 30,000 laser-etched dots bathing occupants in adaptable ambient lighting, automatically switching to one of eight dramatic colors when Sport mode is engaged.
Skyview Glass Roof
An available two-element panoramic sunroof option floods the model's interior with natural light through 2.7 square meters of specially strengthened laminated glass. This showpiece feature connects front to rear without any center beam obstruction for unbroken visibility of passing clouds or nighttime stars while feeling at one with the sky, augmented by integrated electric screening.
Real-time adaptive chassis
A unique electronically controlled suspension featuring multiple sensors and cameras allows the Chiron to instantly adapt to upcoming sections of road. By monitoring conditions and proactively adjusting dampers before bumps or surface changes are even felt inside, the system delivers extremely smooth, refined and responsive handling regardless of speed or severity.
Five Distinct Driving Modes
Owners can tailor the Chiron’s personality to match their mood or environment via five unique driving modes – EB, Handling, Lift, Autobahn, and Top Speed. Each mode ages characteristics from ride height and gearbox shift points to powertrain and stability control parameters, plus interior lighting ambiance – transformative tech making this hypercar a master of adaptation.
First class interior materials
Bugatti spares no expense outfitting the Chiron's living space with opulent, high-quality materials like rich natural leathers, Alcantara microfibers, and swathes of exposed polished carbon fiber perfectly complemented by precise French contrast stitching. Accents like milled aluminum elements, steak wood trim finishes optional inset accents take personalization to another level.
Timeless dashboard design
A standout element of the Chiron's interior design ethos is what you don't see – a conventional centrally located infotainment screen breaking up the elegant minimalism. Instead all key driving data is delivered via a compact panel presenting only vital information without any visual clutter while a high resolution screen tucked away behind the beautifully crafted steering wheel displays multimedia.
The result is a clean, flowing aesthetic that won’t date any time soon – or ever in the realm of hypercar interior design. Carbon fiber structural elements sweeping Spearhead across the cabin also reinforce that this revolutionary machine means business while echoing styling elements of Bugatti legends past.
Six millimeters of extra headroom
Passengers and drivers of the Chiron benefit from an interior height raised by 6 mm compared to the record-setting Veyron it replaces. This incremental but impactful adjustment translates into a more spacious enclosed environment providing ample margin for comfort plus allowance for wearing helmets on track days without any cage-like claustrophobia creeping in.
Visible Engineering Artistry
While largely concealed beneath swooping body panels and intake vents, the Chiron's actual powerhouse – its 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine – takes pride of place as visual centerpiece behind the seats. This mechanical masterpiece has its crankcase and intake plenum artfully displayed within a sectioned off glass case, putting the ground-breaking engineering on show.
Admiring this powertrain that propels occupants from 0-60mph nearly as fast as Formula 1 cars is a highlight for passengers and a talking point for drivers explaining what makes this Bugatti so special at a glance. The theater of unveiling this mechanical heart beating at the center reminds that despite the endless luxury and refinement, Chiron ownership is still all about celebrating breathtaking, boundary-breaking performance.
Racing-Inspired Seat Customization
Just like every other facet of the model, the Chiron allows owners to personalize the very seats they sit in to match personal tastes or intended use, from luxurious long distance grand touring to lightning fast track sessions. Upholstery choices range from supple leather to grippy Alcantara or optional contrasting accents. Further exclusivity comes from the racing harness-style seatbelts available in matching hide colors for the ultimate display of individuality. Occasional rear seat passengers also get to bask in luxury with identical levels of adjustment including heating functions – making the Chiron a genuine four-seater hypercar perfect for sharing the experience.
Sophisticated Sky View
An additional way Chiron owners can stamp their interior with originality is specifying the optional Sky View roof liner, exquisitely crafted from strong Alcantara material. The central panel features an elongated silver-colored aperture described by Bugatti as an “air duct…that extends longitudinally into the passenger compartment”. While mirroring the car’s albino exterior accents, this showpiece additional floods the cockpit with reflected light for a brighter ambiance. It also creates increased perceived headroom and space – further enhanced on cars optioned with the glass Skyview roof overhead.
The Sky View’s simple but strong visual design theme handsomely integrates the Chiron’s functional cabin with masterful showmanship. The Bugatti Chiron's interior is every bit as advanced as its world-beating powertrain. Bespoke luxury and technology meet a new level of hypercar customizability and exclusivity, delighting occupants with innovation that engages all senses within an unmatched driving experience surrounded by the very pinnacle of automotive engineering.
