One of its kind, the Bugatti Chiron Profilee is not a part of the series but fills the gap between the Chiron and Chiron Pur Sport. The idea for the model was conceived and developed in 2020, and even with problems surrounding the project was finished by the brand to be molded into a unique model.

The Chiron Profilee's quad-turbocharged W16 engine generates a monstrous 1,476 horsepower (1,100 kilowatts). With an astounding acceleration, this beastly hypercar can go from 0 to 62 mph (97 kph) in under 2.3 seconds. In comparison to the Pur Sport, it has firmer springs and a rear axle with more negative camber, and it has a top speed of 236 mph (380 km/h).

Besides the jaw-dropping power output, astounding speed, and being rare. The Bugatti Chiron Profilee also gets a unique sweeping tail design accompanied by larger air ducts and a revised front splitter. Adding to it, the car also has a unique 'Argent Atlantique' paintwork. To add a reference, this gives the car its very unique presence, much like the La Voiture Noire.
