Bugatti opens Singapore showroom and previews the new Chiron Pur Sport

Wearnes Automotive has opened the brand new Bugatti showroom located along the Leng Kee automotive belt. Located alongside other luxury brands under the Wearnes portfolio, including Aston Martin and Bentley, the new Bugatti showroom offers clients a unique opportunity to experience the French marque's uniquely luxurious and superlative experience. It also serves as a regional hub for customers, including those from Southeast Asia, Australia, and even China. 

To mark the opening, there is also a Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport being showcased within the showroom, a car that further advances the extreme sporting excellence that the Bugatti brand has developed a reputation for. 

Designed to deliver an even more focused driving experience, the Chiron Pur Sport takes the standard 1,500bhp Chiron and adds additional aerodynamic elements, such as the wide air inlets and an enlarged horseshoe intake on a longer front splitter, as well as the static rear spoiler and a larger diffuser at the rear. 

Additionally, Bugatti has also managed to shave some 50kg of weight, thanks to lighter components such as the Alcantara interior and magnesium Aero wheels that are now 4.0kg lighter each. Newly developed high-performance Sport Cup 2 R tyres from Michelin, sized 285/30 R20 at the front and 355/25 R21 at the rear, also serve to provide outstanding grip even at high cornering speeds.

To further enhance the dynamic capabilities of the Chiron Pur Sport, the gear ratios have been shortened. This allows for even sharper acceleration, though as the expense of top speed.

This car has a top speed of 350km/h, unlike the Super Sport model that is capable of exceeding 420km/h. The maximum engine speed of the 8.0-litre W16 engine has also been increased by 200rpm to 6,900rpm. There is also now an additional Sport+ driving mode to allow an enhanced driving experience on dry roads. 

The Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport has a starting list price of €3.5 million ($5.5 million), with plenty of room for personalisation and options (the car in the showroom has €340k+ worth of options on it). Considering its left-hand drive only, you can't actually register or drive this car in Singapore. However, that isn't necessarily stopping buyers. Wearnes tells us that four units of the Chiron Pur Sport has already been sold to the region (only 60 will ever be made).
