Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Red Carbon
The year 2024 marks the year of the dragon in the Chinese calendar. The dragon is the only mythical creature to appear in the 12-year cycle of animals in the Chinese zodiac, symbolizing luck, nobility, honor, and success. French hypercar maker Bugatti recently unveiled an extremely special Chiron Super Sport for a deep-pocketed client in Singapore, and it’s aptly called the “Red Dragon.”
First unveiled in 2021, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is an extensively reworked version of the already-potent Chiron, capable of reaching an electronically-limited 273 mph top speed and zero to 124 mph in just 5.8 seconds. Moreover, it has an optimized 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces 1,600 horsepower.
However, owning or buying a Bugatti is not just about performance bragging rights. The automaker encourages its clients to personalize their cars, and the Singapore-bound “Red Dragon” Chiron Red Carbon is a unique example of what’s possible when money is no object.

The Bugatti Chiron Red Carbon has a red-tinted, exposed carbon-fiber bodywork with glossy black body stripes, black carbon fiber, and dark wheels. Moreover, the “Red Dragon” has optional (and expensive) Sky View glass roof panels that reportedly cost an extra $60,000.
The cabin is as exquisite as the outside, with white leather upholstery, contrasting quilted stitching, satin carbon fiber, and a leather-and-carbon steering wheel. The red carbon finish looks stunning in the Chiron Super Sport’s long-tail body, true to its “Red Dragon” name.
A stock Bugatti Chiron Super Sport starts at around $3.8 million. With Red Carbon’s bespoke red-tinted carbon body, we’re guessing a sub-$4.5 million MSRP is on the cards. It’s also one of the last production Chirons to leave the Molsheim atelier. But since production will officially end in mid to late 2024, we reckon the “Red Dragon” won’t be the last bespoke Chiron to whet our gasoline-fueled appetites.
