The Bugatti Chiron is getting a rather elegant new optional extra - the addition of a pair of glass panels in the roof. The 'Sky View' option increases the cockpit headroom by 2.7cm, but also adds an extra airiness to the cabin.

The Chiron Sky View gets its first public outing in Pebble Beach in August.
