Un set Bugatti in fibra di carbonio


So, you’ve just bought the new Bugatti Chiron hypercar and now it’s time to accessorise. Well, good news as for a mere £39,000 Bugatti you can have a matching bike.
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last month, the bike is made on Bugatti’s behalf by German bicycle specialists PG Bikes and is reportedly the lightest urban bike in the world.
Almost exclusively manufactured from the highest quality carbon fibre, the bike weighs in at just 5kg and, like the car which inspired it, is strictly limited edition with only 667 of them being made.
As well as being extremely light, the bike has been optimised for aerodynamic efficiency and, instead of a traditional chain, drive is provided via a unique toothed belt system.
Customers can order their bikes from their local Bugatti dealership and each can be customised to the buyer’s wishes, with prices rising to as much as £69,000 or more with the full custom treatment.
If that weren’t enough, Bugatti has also teamed up with Palmer Johnson Yachts to produce a limited-edition matching yacht, called the Niniette.
Like the bike it’s made primarily of carbon fibre composite, and comes equipped with an open-plan cabin, leather seats, a champagne bar and even its own Jacuzzi.
Measuring in at 66 feet long, Bugatti says it has a top speed of 44 knots, approximately 51mph on the water, and only 66 of them will be made in total.
There’s no pricing unveiled yet, but you can bet that they’re going to be expensive. Still, if you’re dropping £2.1 million on a car, what’s a bit more for the matching set?
