Bugatti claims the interior remains quiet at up to around 200km/h. The larger air intakes, front spoiler and rear diffuser from the Super Sport have all been adapted to the Vitesse.
The interior utilizes mostly carbon fiber, aluminum and magnesium. The entire center console and door inserts are made from carbon fiber, and it is used in many pieces of trim.
