# The 300-MPH Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ Is a $5.19M Cruise Missile

In August, renowned test driver Andy Wallace piloted a “near-production” prototype version of the [Bugatti Chiron to an eye-watering 304.773 mph](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29651/watch-1578-hp-bugatti-chiron-prototype-smashes-300-mph-barrier-in-mega-top-speed-run>) at Volkswagen’s famed test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany. That phrase suggested the French automaker intended to sell a few cars capable of reaching that record speed—indeed, meet the $5.19 million Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.

Just 30 copies of the Super Sport 300+ will be built. The cars use the same insane 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine nicknamed “Thor,” which is good for 1,578 horsepower, and the beautiful longtail bodywork with exposed carbon fiber. But the production model—if such a term can be used for something so exclusive—will feature a few changes to make sure no one attempts to replicate Bugatti's 300+ mph feat on public roads.

The Chiron Super Sport 300+ trades its array of laptops, telemetry gear, and integrated roll cage for a finished two-seat interior replete with carbon fiber and Beluga Black leather (Note: This does not come from whales). It's also got a slightly higher ride height to improve road usability. But the biggest safeguard is the electronic speed limiter, which [*Motor1* reports](<https://www.motor1.com/news/369478/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300/>) will be set at 273.4 mph. It remains to be seen whether Bugatti will allow owners to retrofit their cars to the appropriate 300+ mph spec.

Interested? Not only will you have to set aside $5.19 million, you'll have to act fast, too. We mentioned only 30 are being made, but [*Motor1* also reports](<https://www.motor1.com/news/369478/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-300/>) that the available number is down to 29 after a wealthy attendee at Bugatti's reveal party this weekend signed the papers and plunked down a deposit on the spot.
