Bugatti Veyron Ettore Bugatti special edition unveiled

Back in 2013, Bugatti decided to celebrate its heroes who played a crucial role in the brand’s history. The French carmaker then announced that it would bring out six exclusive editions under the ‘Les Legendes de Bugatti’ series to commemorate these legendary figures. Bugatti also announced that all the six vehicles in the series would be based on the record-setting Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse, and also that all the six vehicles in the series will be limited to only three examples.

The final special edition dedicated to the Milanese man, Ettore Bugatti himself has now been revealed. This special edition model features hand –polished, clear-coated aluminum paneling which contrasts against the dark blue exposed carbon fibre. For the first time ever the French carmaker has used two tones of leather to drape its cabin interior which has blue exposed carbon accents and a dancing elephant motif coated in aluminum as a tribute to the Bugatti Type 41. The dancing elephant’s emblem was sculpted by Ettore's brother Rembrandt and can be seen on the other five special editions as well.

Priced approximately at Rs 19.2 crore (exclusive of taxes and duties), the Bugatti Veyron Ettore Bugatti special edition will be showcased at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 15, 2014 alongside other five special Grand Sport Vitesse models: Black Bess, Rembrandt Bugatti, Jean-Pierre Wimille, Meo Constantini and Jean Bugatti.
