Tiny tweaks mean big fanfare at Bugatti. Adding four exhausts, a carbon wiper and some retuned suspension to the Chiron earlier this year heralded a whole new version: the Chiron Sport. Now Molsheim"s at it again. This is the new Sky View option for the Bugatti Chiron. And it is, as you can see, a glass roof. Specifically, two 65cm x 44cm panes of glass set into the 261mph hypercar"s roof, either side of the central Bugatti line styling feature. That"s it. No built-in stargazing telescope. Not even an electronic opening mechanism like you get in a VW Up. It"s a glass roof. The world"s fastest glass roof, at that. Except it"s so much more, says Bugatti. The company says the new option available to order right away comprises four-layer lightweight glass. Wind noise has been carefully managed, and infrared radiation is simply reflected away, apparently, so the cockpit doesn"t overheat.
