The California Monterey Car Week happening this August 11-17 will be blessed with a special model from Bugatti as they are ready to reveal the sixth and final edition of the “Bugatti Legends” limited series. Set to display all six of the limited series model at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the final piece to fill in the blank is dedicated to Ettore Bugatti.
The founder and namesake of Bugatti Automobiles, he played the leading role in creating the brands’ iconic machines, which also includes the Type 57 SC Atlantic and the Type 41 Royale, which was the most powerful and luxurious car back in its days.
The Veyron set to honour Ettore is based on the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. Similar to the other Legends cars, the 8.0-liter W16 turbocharged engine pushes out an astonishing 1,183-horsepower that propels the car from zerotohundred in just 2.6 seconds. It could also reach a top speed of 408km/h; even with the roof down.
The design of the Ettore Bugatti Legends Veyron is based on the looks of the 1932 Type 41 Royale chassis number 41111. The “ying-yang” colour features a hand-polished aluminium finish on the front covered in clear coat, while the rear, sill panels, and A-pillar trims are finished in dark blue carbon fiber with exposed weave.
The insides of the car is covered in calf leather upholstery in natural brown, while contact surfaces like the steering wheel, gear lever and door handles are covered in natural-finished cordovan leather. The exterior’s blue theme continues inside to the door trim and rear center box cover. A platinum-coated dancing element inset in the cover of the rear center box reminiscences the Type 41 Royale’s hood ornament, originally sculpted by Ettore Bugatti’s brother, Rembrandt.
This special edition car comes with a price tag of USD 3.14 million (RM 10.08 million) and will be making its official debut on August 15.
