Ecnelis Report post Posted August 15, 2009 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu - another special edition A new Bugatti piece of art for Pebble Beach The « Sang Bleu » to honour the 100th anniversary of the marque Carmel, California, 14th August 2009. Continuing this year’s 100th anniversary celebrations Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has chosen the prestigious Pebble Beach weekend to present a further highlight to pay tribute to this legendary brand : The company proudly unveils the Bugatti « Sang Bleu » - an exclusive, one-off Grand Sport, honouring the marques precious heritage. Innovation and Harmony The « Sang Bleu » has ventured into new areas. Instead of applying two paint colours or paint and material to highlight the two tone design the « Sang Bleu » exclusively concentrates on materials - carbon fibre and aluminum - an innovative combination never realised before. This unique approach opens a new dimension of « Art – Forme – Technique », the company’s core values. The colour combination commissioned for the Pebble Beach car is blue carbon fibre with polished aluminum. The visual carbon fibre is tinted in royal blue to emphasize the refined volumes and surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. The rear airscoops are tinted in the same nightblue – offering a dramatic view from above – and thus fluidly integrate into the overall design philosophy of this unique model. The rims are inspired by the Grand Sport Roadster and are highlighted in a Midnight Blue and Diamond Cut two tone finish. The interior, specially and tastefully selcted for the Pebble Beach event, is trimmed in a newly developed Gaucho leather which blends with the intriguing and pure exterior materials creating an elegant and harmonious overall appearance. Featured Marque In the year of its100th anniversary Bugatti has been selected to be one of the featured marques at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Ettore Bugatti started his business in the Alsacian town of Molsheim in 1909. The name of the company: „Ettore Bugatti Automobiles i. Els.“. In 1956 the company ceased its activities. Exactly 50 years later, in March 2006, the first Bugatti Veyron built by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. was delivered – after the Volkswagen Group had aquired the rights of the Bugatti marque in 1998 and started the re-launch of this famous brand. To date over 250 of the planned Bugatti Veyrons are sold, 215 of them have been delivered to customers worldwide. In June 2009 Bugatti started production of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, the open roadster. The sales results are encouraging over 20 Grand Sports have been sold, with first deliveries already started. The Bugatti « Sang Bleu » is the latest in a line of centenary Bugatti models which have won worldwide acclaim in 2009. This unique car stands – like the others - for the commitment of the Bugatti of today to carry the values and the philosophy of Ettore Bugatti, the founder of this unique marque, into a successful future.

TurboGallardo Report post Posted August 15, 2009 With all these special editions coming out, you should be able to pick up a lowly base Veyron for peanuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL_LV Report post Posted August 16, 2009 Absolutely stunning Veyron. This is pure perfection. No kidding. How many special editions are there in total of the Veyron? That one is beautiful. Just to clarify, there were only two special editions of Veyron produced yet - Pur Sang and Sang Noir limited series. Veyron Fbg par Hermès was only special options and colors package and it is not limited edition, could be ordered on any Veyron. There were few one-off Veyrons made as special request from customers, those are not considered as limited editions. This year is Bugatti's Centenary year and they are producing one-off Veyrons for every show they attend and those are not limited editions, those are one-off cars each carrying its own name. I consider it is a normal situation for league Bugatti is playing. And I do not see any reason why all those one-off Veyron would impact regular Veyron sales or prices.

roguetrader Report post Posted August 17, 2009 Wow! How do they achieve the blue finish on the CF? I read somewhere that "colored carbon" is a mix of carbon and color dyed Kevlar. Though I'm not positive of the validity of that or whether that's what they did with the Veyron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR Report post Posted August 26, 2009 Beautiful indeed. Although I probably would prefer a different interior. Come to think of it, has anyone come across a 2-tone interior or some special pattern/contrast stitching on the car? I think it would look better still if these parts were done in chrome/silver. And must it be a Grand Sport only, how about "just" a coupe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
