The Bugatti Chiron's US-Spec Bumper Is Moderately Upsetting
As you can see from the image above, the rear end of the Bugatti Chiron is quite a sight to behold. With vast mesh expanses, lashings of carbonfibre and one gigantic light bar, it gives the Chrion’s bum a striking aesthetic. An aesthetic which is enhanced with two massive lumps of rubber on US-spec cars.
As revealed by the Chiron on display at the New York Auto Show, US-spec cars will have these wretched carbunkles attached due to US federal bumper regulations. Cars like the Lamborghini Countach and various iterations of the Porsche 911 famously received a similarly nasty exterior treatment due to the rules, which are intended to avert damage during low speed accidents.
Thankfully, the rubber blocks should be fairly easy to remove as it looks like they’re held on by a handful of exposed screws (no doubt a very deliberate decision), so expect every single US Chiron owner to bin the protectors immediately after delivery…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

O Bugatti, Please Do Not Make The Chiron Ugly By The Rear.
lucky i dont live in the us
Well it’s good to see they can be so easily removed.
Ugh, I know that feel (To be fair, it doesn’t look too bad, just not that good)
Why even bother? Most Chirons will be bought by sheiks and princes in the UAE.
Well, if it’s there than it probably means someone in the US has bought one. I doubt they would have put them on there to say “This is what the bumpers will look like for US”.
