Spotter's Guide to the Bugatti Veyron

Sep 28, 2012

 

Written by Jamie J. (GTRJacko)

As any car enthusiast and any car nutter knows, the Bugatti Veyron is one of the fastest and most expensive vehicles made. However, the Bugatti Veyron comes in so many varieties, it's unbelieveable. So here, i shall give you a guide to spotting each and every Veyron imaginable!

 

 

Bugatti Veyron:

This essentially is the basic Bugatti Veyron. Despite it being entery level, this car can be ordered in pretty much, any colour imaginable, and any specification. If you want the top half Green, and the bottom half pink, then Bugatti will paint it in those colours. Though i would definitely not reccomend that at all.

 

Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang:

 

The Pur Sang was one of the first Special Edition Veyrons that people could actually buy. Only 5 were ever made in this spec, which included high-gloss bronze roadwheels, a diamond-cut glass-like finish, with a clear body finish showing the Veyron's silver oxide carbon fibre body.

 

Bugatti Veyron Pegaso:

This Veyron was a one off for a rich Ukranian, who lives in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This Veyron is actually claimed to have a power output of 1,200BHP, making it as powerful as the Super Sport.

 

Bugatti Veyron Fbg Par Hermès

 

Hermès is a French manufacturer of high quality goods, specializing in Leather, Perfume and other luxury goods. The Fbg Par Hermès Veyron has special roadwheels with a single "H" in the center, and a fuel filler cap engraved with "Bugatti Veyron Fbg Par Hermès". Hermès Leather is also found inside the car, and each customer is given a Hermès wallet and a Hermès Briefcase.

 

Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir

Only 15 Bugatti Veyron Sang Noirs have ever been made. Each comes with an All-Black exterior.

The Above Sang Noir was wrapped in "Gemballa Blue", with glow in the dark lightning flash decalling on the sides. This Veyron was actually used as a promotional vehicle around Monaco for Gemballa Racing.

 

Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire

 

This Veyron celebrated 100 years of Bugatti. The Body therefore was painted in a combination of Matte and Gloss "Bugatti Blue", showing hommage to the Bugatti's of yesteryear. 

 

Bugatti Veyron L'Edition Centenaire

The Veyron L'Edition Centenaire, or in full name, the Centenaire Villa d'Este Limited Edition, pays homage to the golden age of motorsport. Only 4 cars have been made, all in different colours. The one shown is owned by Achille Varzi from Italy, and denoted in Red and Silver.

 

Bugatti Veyron Sang d'Argent

Shown at the 2009 Dubai Motorshow, this one off was finished in a Matte Silver, and Polished Aluminium. Inspired by the Centenary Villa d'Este cars, and the Pur Sang, this amazing machine was sold for US$2.1 Million

 

Bugatti Veyron Nocturne

Another entery at the Dubai Motorshow was this, the Nocturne edition. Featuring galvanised side windows, the Nocturne was distinguished by it's polished aluminium detailing, and the uniblack colour. 5 were only made, and one was sold for US$2.4 Million. The Standard Veyron was sold out in 2011, so this was the last special edition of a normal Veyron!

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

 

The Veyron Grand Sport is essentially the Targa Top version of the Veyron, which included the start of the minorly facelifted front end of the Veyron. Slower than the normal Veyron, the Grand Sport can only do 229MPH, though that does make it one of the fastest Convertibles on the planet. The First model was sold for US$900,000 for Charity

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu

The Sang Bleu was finished in Blue Carbon Fibre, and Polished Aluminium. The wheels were inspired by the Grand Sport, but finished in Midnigth Blue and Diamond Cut finish.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Soleil de Nuit

Another one off, the Soleil de Nuit was a Middle East only vehicle. Finished in Polish Aluminium, and Blue/Black paint, with an Orange interior like the Sang Noir, it was sold for US$2.27 million.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Grey Carbon

The Grey Carbon edition was first shown at the Geneva Motorshow of 2010. Exterior includes Carbon Fibre with Metallic Dark Grey Aluminium body panes, and a lower portion, in polished aluminium. Only one of these were made.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Royal Dark Blue

As like the Grey Carbon edition, the car was finished in Royal Dark Blue at the rear, and the rest of the car was painted in Arctic White. Only one was made, sold for 1.75 million Euros.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Blanc

The Sang Blanc was made specially for a client in the UK. Finished in a Matte Pearlescent paintjob, with Black Grille, Exhaust and Engine cover. The UK Exotic Dealer, Tom Hartley sold this car, with 448 miles on the clock, for £1.25 Million.

 

Bugatti Veyron Bijan Pakzad Edition

Probably the most spotted Bugatti Veyron on ExoticSpotter, this is the fashion Designer, Bijan Pakzad's Veyron. Before unexpectedly passing away due to a stroke, he collaborated with Bugatti to create this one off Veryon. Yellow and Black is the colour scheme, and is currently parked on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, CA

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L'Or Blanc

L'Or Blanc essentially means "White Gold", and this special edition uses Porcelin to distinguish the body and a Blue Interior too.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Red Edition

This Special Edition improvised the colour Red to the Body and Interior, and the wheels too. Sales were dissapointingly low, so Bugatti took this car to the 2011 Frankfurt Motorshow.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Middle East Editions


 


 


3 Versions of the Middle Eastern Edition cars were shown at the 2011 Dubai Motor Show. One in Bright Yellow, one in Blue Carbon, and one in Green Carbon (As Shown). The Yellow one sold for 1.58 Million Euros, while the others were sold for 1.74 Million Euros

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

This Grand Sport features the 1,200BHP Unit from the Super Sport. This means that this can manage 0-60MPH in just 2.6 Seconds, onwards to a top speed of 254.9MPH. This means that the Vitesse is essentially, the fastest Roadster on the planet. 2 Million Euros this will set you back.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Wei Long

Made to commemorate the Chinese Year of the Dragon, this car was finished in pearl white, and a contrasting red interior, plus "Dragon" themed detailing. This sold for 1.58 Million Euros

 

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

The Super Sport is the fastest car in production, with an incredible top speed of 267.8MPH. However, only the 5 World Record Editions have that ability to achieve that speed, the other 25 vehicles are limited to 258MPH. Each is valued at £1.7 Million. The one which is show, is a World Record Edition.

 

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Sang Noir

Not everyone got the chance to get the 'World Record Edition', so Bugatti made the 'Sang Noir', which was essentially the same style as the original Veyron Sang Noir. This car cost however, US$3.4 Million.

 

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Black Carbon

A One off built for a customer in China, thie Black Carbon was finished in Black clear-coat, revealing the carbon fibre body. The Body was however, combined with "Snow Beige" and "Beluga Black"

 

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Edition Merveilleux

The Edition Mereveillux was presented to a car collector in China known as "Simon". A Video shows that the CEO of Bugatti wishes this "Simon" a happy 40th birthday. The Edition Merveilleux features a Carbon Fibre Exterior, with Blacked out wheels and a Blue interior.

 

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Le Saphir Bleu

A Recent sighting of a L'Or Blanc styled Super Sport was seen in Molsheim, France. This Veyron is known to be called the Le Saphir Bleu.

 

So there you go, a guide to spotting every single Bugatti Veyron out there. Spotting any Bugatti Veyron is a good achievement, but spotting a One-Off is a Truely amazing achievement!

Good Luck Spotting!

You forgot about the Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero d'Oro by Mansory! They created only. Mansory is willing to turn any Veyron into one.

This was very good. I didn't even know 3/4 of these existed. My favorite of these is probably the Grand Sport Soleil de Nuit.

Great article!!!
I was actually thinking on making this exact article but too late for me now.

My favorite is of course the super sport world record edition but if i was to pick a second one, it would be the Le Saphir Bleu
