It all started with a passionate and apparently very wealthy Bugatti collector who has a "deep appreciation for Bugatti history." The collector also happens to be a big fan of the W-16 engine, which is going out with a bang, and wanted to pay homage. From there he commissioned Bugatti's Sur Mesure—which translates to "tailored"—to create a one-of-one art piece with a Chiron Super Sport as its foundation. After speaking with Bugatti's design director at the time, Achim Anscheidt, the pair came up with a concept involving 45 individual sketches, each depicting historical moments and vehicles from Bugatti's history, hand-drawn on the vehicle. The buyer wanted a staggering level of authenticity—even the pens used for these drawings were the same that Bugatti's in-house designers use when sketching vehicles. The passenger side alone hosts 26 individual sketches featuring historic models, like the 1926 Type 41 Royale and the Type 57 Atlantic. The driver's side features 19 sketches which mark historic Bugatti moments starting in 1987 which was when the brand relaunched itself. This sketched mural covers everything from the EB110 to the Veyron and Chiron. A special shade of gold called "Doré" was sprayed on the Chiron to serve as the background of the sketches, while a gradient of "Nocturne Black" paint adds contrast. From a distance, it almost looks like the Chiron Super Sport got a really elaborate tattoo.

 Would you let someone draw on your multi-million-dollar hypercar? That is exactly what one mystery buyer commissioned Bugatti to do for him. The 1,578-horsepower rolling work of art is dubbed the "Golden Era," and its canvas is a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport.
