2014 Bugatti Veyron Rembrandt Legends Edition

Bugatti appeals to some pretty pick clientele, without placing too fine a point onto it. Nonetheless, its merchandise planners grapple together with exactly the same challenge that confronts every automaker: When you are spending multi-millions to accomplish exclusivity, you do not need to visit a mirror-image of your Veyron motoring around every corner. Right?

Bugatti's solution to this issue is a sequence of 18 limitededition Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse roadsters--Les Legendes d e Bugatti. The string contains six three-automobile groups, each named for well-known figures from fourth in the sequence, and this one, Bugatti's glory years, is called Rembrandt.

The title suggests arty inspiration, which will be authentic, but it is maybe not the Rembrandt you could anticipate. Although Rembrandt gained renown because of his function with bronze sculptures, he is fete in Bugatti family lore for producing the dancing elephant symbol that adorns the grille of the princely Kind 41 Bugatti, better called the Royale.

Commemorating Rembrandt Bugatti's favorite arty medium, the most recent Vitesse Legend sports bronze-hued clear-coat carbon fibre on its top half comparing having a light-brown lower part.

Indoors, the specific-variant Vitesse is recognized by cognac-coloured leather, a bronze-hued carbonfiber console emblazoned having a cast bronze sort of the Kind 41 dancing elephant symbol, and also the signature and portrait of Rembrandt Bugatti on each door-sill.

On exhibit in the Geneva auto-show, the Rembrandt Bugatti has a sticker cost of EUR2.18 million (nearly $3 million at today's rates of exchange)--nearly a 1/2-million more compared to typical Grand Activity Vitesse. We surmise this is really a no-haggle value. If the nine preceding Legends are any sign, you better run--all nine of the preceding special editions have now been sold.
