400th Bugatti Veyron Sold As It Begins Its Final Lap of Production
Bugatti has sold its 400th Veyron. Since the production run of the Veyron and its variants is limited to just 450 models, this means just 50 more are still available. The 400th Veyron is a Grand Sport Vitesse and has been bought by a customer in the Middle East. The 400th sale of the Veyron has Bugatti celebrating another milestone and so begins the final lap of the super sports car's journey. Since its debut in 2005, Bugatti has sold all coupes that were limited to 300: the Veyron 16.4 with 1001 PS and the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport with 1200PS and 100 of the planned 150 roadsters. The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport with 1,001 PS and the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse with 1,200 PS have now been sold, leaving just 50 models left to buy.
The recently sold 400th Veyron is the third and final Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille” in the exclusive six-part edition “Les Légendes de Bugatti”. The series was launched in August at California’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance with the Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille”. This was followed by the Legend car, “Jean Bugatti”, which was presented at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt. In November the third Legend Edition, dedicated to Meo Costantini, was revealed to the public at the Dubai International Motor Show 2013. As with all Bugatti Legend cars, the production run is limited to only three vehicles. The Legend Edition “Jean-Pierre Wimille” is priced at €2.13 million, excluding taxes and transport.
The Legend cars are based on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. The 1200PS super car is powered by an 8-liter, 16 valve engine and runs from 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and from 0-200 in 7.1 seconds. The Vitesse needs just 5.8 seconds to go from 200km/h to a complete stop. It achieves an impressive 1,500Nm torque between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm.
Since April this year, the Grand Sport Vitesse can claim to be the fastest roadster in the world with a record of 408.84 km/h driven with the roof off. This makes Bugatti the holder of two world speed records, the other being the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport’s record, set in 2010, for the fastest production car when it reached 431.072 km/h.
Bugatti was founded more than 100 years ago in the Alsatian town of Molsheim and today belongs to the Volkswagen Group, which took over the rights to the brand in 1998. The Veyron continues to set the standard as the most powerful and fastest production car in the world and can be used every day, with luxurious and comfortable travel in mind.
Bugatti is a global player with 30 dealerships and service partners in 18 countries. The brand is represented in all regions of the world including Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Japan, Singapore and China.
