At the show Bugatti explained that the one-off Veyron was for sale for $2.5 million, a hefty sum that represents a premium of $300,000 over a standard Veyron Vitesse. The show is over and Bugatti went home without the car, which found a new home almost immediately.
To pay homage to the Type 37A, the top part of the Veyron's body, the roof area and the air scoops are painted in a shade of white called "Bianco" while the lower body is finished in a blue dubbed "New Light Blue".
Providing a stark contrast to the flashy exterior, the Veyron's seats, dashboard and door panels are upholstered in discreet light brown Cognac leather.
The modifications are strictly aesthetic and Bugatti has not made any mechanical changes. The special edition of the Grand Sport Vitesse is powered by an 7.9-liter W16 engine that makes 1,200 horsepower and an earth-shaking 1,106 lb-ft of torque. Linked to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the mill rockets the car from zero to 62 mph in a brisk 2.6 seconds and on to a top speed that is electronically limited to 233 mph.
