Meet Bugatti's Aviation-Inspired Chiron Sport Les Legendes du Ciel

Bugatti, just like other exotic automakers such as Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin, doesn't mess around with special editions of its breathtaking cars. Like memorable editions of the legendary Veyron, these ultra-exclusive models often pay homage to the brand's colorful past while making the stock models even more enticing.

The latest example of this is the new Bugatti Chiron Sport Les Legendes du Ciel. As you may have guessed, it's based on the Bugatti Chiron Sport. Only 20 examples will be produced, with the new model honoring the brand's racing drivers or "daredevils", many of whom were skilled pilots.

These strong links to aviation helped to inspire the new Les Legendes du Ciel and are ingrained in the fabric of the company.
Founder Ettore Bugatti had always been intrigued by aviation, having once designed aircraft engines himself. This special edition of the Chiron Sport, therefore, features upgrades that reference some of the features of classic aircraft.

Outside, the Bugatti is finished in matt-grey Gris Serpent paint, a color that is a throwback to planes built in the 1920s. The Les Legendes du Ciel logo can be found on the front wings, while a combination of Blue, White, and Red forms the Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge tricolor. Exposed carbon fiber adorns select elements like the W16 engine cover, while a Sky Roof is available optionally. The detailing is typically exceptional. For instance, the radiator grille mesh is fashioned from laser-cut and deep-drawn aluminum.

Meanwhile, the XC40's all-electric sibling, the XC40 Recharge, Volvo's first-ever pure electric SUV, has just entered production. So where does Volvo go from here, aside from regular model cycle redesigns? Well, it appears it's going smaller and all-electric. According to Auto Express, Volvo has decided its next SUV will be an all battery-electric even smaller than the XC40. More than likely, it'll be called the XC20, a nameplate the firm has already trademarked. Speaking to Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson at this year's Beijing Auto Show, he confirmed the smaller XC20 EV SUV will be one of Volvo's first vehicle to ride on a new dedi...

Mercedes-Benz EQS: Platform and underpinnings The EQS is the first in an extended range of EQ models to use Mercedes-Benz’s dedicated EVA (Electric Vehicle Architecture) platform and has been conceived as an electric-powered equivalent to the S-Class sedan – alongside which it will be produced in Sindelfingen, Germany.

Its appearance is dominated by what Mercedes describes as a “one-bow roofline” that stretches back to form a heavily angled liftback-style tailgate. Other key styling elements include a black grille panel bookended by a pair of angular headlights - themselves joined by a...
