Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Geneva Show Special Editions

Bugatti has wowed show goers at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a trio of special edition versions of the Veyron Grand Sport convertibles. Not one to be left behind while others unveiled showstoppers such as the Lamborghini Veneno and the LaFerrari. In typical Bugatti tradition, the focus of the special editions is on heritage and paint jobs, rather than outright power upgrades.

Two of the special editions are based on the 1,200hp (895kW) Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, while the third, called the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Royale Homage, pays homage to the legendary Bugatti Royale sedan, the Type 41 of the 1920s and ‘30s.

The Grand Sport Royale Homage’s doors, front fenders/guards and exterior mirror housings are all finished in polished aluminium, so are the air intakes. As the name suggest, motifs of the Royale’s famous ‘dancing elephant’ bonnet ornament is embossed on the flanks.

The entire rear section of the car, engine cowlings, roof trim strips, door sills and front section all feature a unique finish where the carbon fibre weave shows up through the exterior paint finish. On top of that, depending on the angle of the light, the colour of the paint can appear either more subtle of powerful.

The green and silver theme of the car’s exterior is carried over inside. The seats, steering wheel and gear lever are all covered in green leather with silver contrasting stitching. Even the interior mirror and floor mats are green! Elsewhere, the pedals and sill panel trims are in anodized aluminium.

As mentioned, the other two Bugattis are based on the more powerful Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. However, they are built to simply showcase the company’s new colour schemes.

The first one features bronze-coloured carbon fibre. This is contrasted by side panels, exterior mirrors and a nose that are painted in a brown hue. Bugatti calls this colour combination ‘Ying & Yang’.

Meanwhile, the car’s interior is decorated in the bolder colour combination of orange and dark brown. These are complemented brilliantly by the polished aluminium in the steering wheel, gear leaver and door handles.

The final special edition, called the ‘Black Carbon’ features a body that is left unpainted, exposing the full carbon fibre. The liven up an otherwise somber exterior, the brake calipers and exterior mirror housings are painted in blue, while the roof trim and the grille are in polished aluminium.

Inside, the all black interior is broken up with a combination of Beluga Black and brown leather.

The price tag? They range from €1.92 million to €2.02 million, each!
