Last week we got a preview of the special edition Bugattis that were appearing Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza last weekend. Now we have the official details as well as pics of the Veyrons from Lake Como, Italy.
This is all part of Bugatti’s 100th anniversary celebration. These four cars pay tribute to the Type 35 Grand Prix racers that racked up an impressive 2000 wins over ten years. The cars are mechanically similar to a standard Veyron, but it combines polished aluminum wings and doors with a driver’s corresponding national racing color — Jean-Pierre (France – blue), Achille Varzi (Italy – red), Malcolm Campbell (England – green) and Hermann Zu Leininger (Germany – white).
While some companies make a limited number of vehicles for a special edition run, this is it for Bugatti. There will be no extra copies made of these Veyrons. Each car is rumored to cost €1.6 million (currently about $2.08 million) per example — about €400,000 more than a “standard” Veyron.
This is the second time Bugatti is celebrating it’s 100th anniversary. The first time was with the Bleu Centenaire in Geneva, and Bugatti is also planning a century-mark celebration for Pebble Beach in August. This will all be leading up to a grand finale at its headquarters in Molsheim, France in September. So between now and the year’s end, Bugatti should still have at least two more surprises up its sleeve.
