Monterey Car Week 2023: A special edition of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport called the Golden Era has made its public debut at the event. With hand-drawn illustrations, this one-off creation artistically narrates the history of Bugatti. The legendary Type 41 Royale and the Type 57 SC Atlantic are part of the 26 hand-drawn sketches on the passenger side. On the other hand, the EB110, Veyron, Chiron, and others are among the 19 sketches on the driver's side.
