2021 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Goes to Extremes
Less weight, more grip, and shorter gearing make the Pur Sport an even wilder Bugatti Chiron.
The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport isn't just a slight variation of the regular Chiron. It's the raw-nerve version of Bugatti's 1479-hp ground-bound missile. It's less isolated, more direct, more tightly wound, and more engaging than both the Chiron and Chiron Sport. It's also slower. But it may be quicker.
There are a few obvious, visible tweaks to the $3.6 million Pur Sport that separate it from lesser Chirons. There are larger air intakes and a differently shaped nose over an expanded front splitter. The horseshoe-shaped grille is a bit wider, too, and there are new air extractors built into the tops of the slightly reshaped front fenders. In back, a massive diffuser is there to intimidate whoever the Pur Sport has just passed, as well as an utterly spectacular titanium exhaust outlet that could stand as sculpture on its own. Finally, there's the fixed rear wing atop the tail that replaces the motorized unit on lesser versions.
Every Chiron makes a statement even when viewed from orbit. But some elements seem discordant in the Pur Sport. First is that rear wing, which seems like it belongs aboard a spacecraft in a Star Wars movie. Emphasizing the wing's presence is the "BUGATTI" script that was painted atop it on the example we drove in California. Maybe that's so there's no confusion when the owner's security detail is tracking the car from a helicopter. The second questionable design element is the number painted on the front grille—in the case of our example, 16, for the engine's number of cylinders—which just seems unnecessary. Fortunately, a Bugatti's appearance ultimately is at the whim of its buyer. Don't want the lettering on the wing or the number in the grille? Just order it your way. This is a $3.6 million car of which only 60 will be built, and Bugatti wants you to be happy.
