A supercar maker has revealed a unique hypercar with 273mph top speed in tribute to an iconic model - with hidden meaning on the paintwork

[{"selector":"#anim-62cd792f-9779-4c63-bc88-0ebb6f00c5ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-188e0daa-947e-49ad-98d1-79b6bf1a7c6c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(113.75000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The unique Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is a fancy bumblebee-like yellow and black and features decals showcasing the number 55

[{"selector":"#anim-e43a6bc4-13fd-4167-abcc-27e107eb65a2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86705fbc-6f7b-4422-b444-23df23096be9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.04179%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The colours are in honour of the legendary Bugatti Type 55 - introduced in 1932 with a then blistering top speed of 112mph

[{"selector":"#anim-62086863-82e2-4c2b-b718-41db2b85d0c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71ed8445-519e-42af-86e0-005afb4cd651","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.07717%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Bugatti worked with brand personalisation department 'Sur Mesure' to create the finish as a way to “visually break up the expansive surfaces of the hyper sports car”

Just 38 of the Type 55s were ever built, making it one of the rarest cars in existence
