The Veyron „Bleu Centenaire“ – a one off anniversary model

 

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport first time on an Autoshow stand

 

Geneva, 3rd March 2009 – At Geneva the Bugatti Veyron « Grand Sport » is shown for the first time to a wider public in Europe. Next to the Grand Sport Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. presents the Veyron « Bleu Centenaire », a special commission honouring the 100th anniversary of the company, thus initiating a range of worldwide activities celebrating the creation of this mythic brand a hundred yearsago.

 

Hundred years of Bugatti

 

In 1909 Ettore Bugatti started his business in the Alsacian town of Molsheim, France. The name of the company: „Ettore Bugatti Automobiles i.Els.“. And although the name has changed into “Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.”, the site and the philosophy of the brand have been preserved. In 2006 the first model under the „new management“ was launched, precisely 50 years after the last car of the original company left the gates of the Molsheim factory. The Bugatti Veyron has only been on the market for three years, but has already reached the status of being an undisputed part of automotive history, with 250 cars ordered to date, and nearly 200 cars delivered. This means that there are only 50 Veyrons to be sold until the limit of 300 units will be reached.

 

The Veyron “Bleu Centenaire”

 

Building on the marque’s core values of « Art – Forme – Technique » , Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has created the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire, a unique model to celebrate the hundred year old history of the company. This special model takes up the traditional Bugatti two-tone-specification, but portrays it in one rather than two colours: in the most known light shaded Bugatti blue. The Centenaire’s unique combination of a « sprintblue matt » and « sprintblue gloss » hence offers a new impression of the two-tone-scheme known so far with parts of the engine also covered in this traditional Bugatti Blue.

The roof-trim-stripes and the exterior rearview mirrors are of polished, anodised aluminium. A special wheel design has been added – enhanced by a bright red brake-capillar. The grills at the front and at the side air intakes are in « mirror shine ».

The interior of the Centenaire is fitted in a special «snowbeige» leather with quilting on the seats. The central console is covered in the same leather. New LED lights, Park Distance Control and a rearview camera have become part of the standard equipment for all Bugatti Veyrons from this year onwards. The Bleu Centenaire shares all performance characteristics of other Veyron models performance-, acceleration- and deceleration characteristics which have been highly praised ever since the Bugatti Veyron first appeared on the scene. The car will cost 1,35 Million Euro exclusive taxes and transportation.

 

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

 

The Bugatti Grand Sport is a unique roadster based on the Veyron Coupé and was launched at last year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elégance in California. This new model will go into production at the end of April 2009 and will be limited to a total of 150 units over lifetime. The first chassis numbers are reserved for existing Veyron Coupé customers, honoring their loyalty and offering them the chance to be at top of the waiting list. This measure has been highly appreciated.

 

Celebrations throughout the year

 

“2009 will be an exciting year for the brand,” announces the President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, at Geneva Autoshow, “we will be celebrating our hundredth anniversary with references to our successful past and a – hopefully – successful future”.

 

„Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. “, will celebrate its hundredth anniversary on various occasions throughout the year, culminating in an event in Molsheim on September 12, 2009. The next highlight Bugattisti should look out for will be the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at Cernobbio in the North of Italy between April 24 and 26.

 

 

So every new models should have it´s one parc distance control and a rearview camera but have you seen a screen inside the blue centenaire? Is this screen the mirror which is also the navigation screen?

Do you think it´s possible to get it also for other, older veyron models?

 

What's up with this alleged Bugatti killer I keep hearing about? I guess Porsche is taking a stab at the top speed record now? I'm not knocking the car at all, but I'm convinced that Bugatti doesn't want anyone to top the amount of work it took to get them where they're at now. I'm sure they're gonna keep pushing the envolope. Well here's the link to the Veyron killer if nobody has heard or seen it before. I'm just not convinced!!!

It's not PORSCHE doing that, 9ff is a tuning company.

I've heard from a few trustworthy resources that the Veyron is only running at at approximately 1/3 of it's potential!

 

Marinate on that for a minute.

 

The turbos are running at 3lbs of boost, i believe it was? Imagine if they really cut loose and go all out. I don't think 300MPH would be unreasonable. Insane.

The energizer in the Veyron is a WR16 displacing 7998cc and turbocharged with 15.8 psi of boost.

No offense to anyone who reads Car and Driver, but I'd only trust them as fast a i can throw their magazine.

 

While I may be wrong on the boost specific numbers, I'd believe the potential aspect of the car definitely.

I am loving this:

I like Mansory, it's really a love hate relationship with that company.

lol honestly i don't read car and driver i just did a quick google search and that was the first one i saw with a number, I was just asking because i'm a huge fan of the veyron and cars that push the limit i would love to know the potential of the car isn't being reached yet.

you can bet there is room in the Veyron engine for MUCH more than what it is doing now.

 

wrap your head around these numbers........

 

16 cylinders

4 turbos

8.0 liter displacement

 

 

Think of what has been done to older Supras, Vipers and Ford GT's and then ask if there is room left in the Veyron engine. Yep, that's what I thought.

 

Now the question is when is someone who owns a Veyron going to turn the car over to a tuner and let them play around and figure what's left under the hood. Personally I am looking forward to when someone does this.

No 1350bhp Veyron for now.
