Leave a comment

At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show Bugatti revealed the targa top version of the Veyron Super Sport, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. It is a limited edition that was produced until 2015 and only 92 cars left the factory. One of them, the 2015 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is up for auction.

This rare car is powered by a quad-turbo W-16 engine with 1,200 hp (882 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 1,100 lb⋅ft (1,500 N⋅m) at 3,000–5,000 rpm. That’s enough power to propel the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 254 mph (410 km/h), making it the fastest roadster in the world at the time. To ensure that the car can handle the massive power, Bugatti’s engineers strengthened the chassis.

The car is finished in light blue with contrasting blue carbon fiber trim, and in order to make it stand out from other examples, the owner decorated it with details inspired by the movies “Transformers”. The same theme continues in the interior of the car with matching two-tone blue and black leather with Bugatti’s Sport Comfort seats and blue contrasting stitching throughout. A Transformers logo is inlaid between the seats.

This Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse has been well maintained and is in mint condition with 5,163 km on the odometer. In August 2022, the car was sent to Bugatti Munich for an annual service. It should also be noted that the current owner elected to enroll his car in Bugatti’s Passport Tranquillité program in December 2022 for a two-year duration, ending in December 2024. This is a pre-paid comprehensive service program that includes the appropriate annual services for the car . This program remains tied to the car rather than the owner, and the next service will be free of charge if undertaken prior to August 31, 2024.

The auction will take place from 1-3 May 2024 and the car is currently located in Madrid.

2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport ‘Wei Long’ is up for auction

Between 2009 and 2015, Bugatti produced the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport model, the targa top version of the Bugatti Veyron EB. Only 58 examples of this model were produced, and in celebration of the Chinese New Year (Year of the Dragon) Bugatti produced a unique example of this car, the 2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport ‘Wei Long’ which is now up for auction.

The car is finished in Porcelain White with brushed aluminum and gloss-black trim elements. In addition to the standard equipment found on every Veyron Grand Sport, this example is equipped with dragon heads carved into porcelain inserts on the oil and fuel filler caps, and special 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels with a diamond finish and red accents.

The beautiful cockpit is covered with Italian Red leather and there are Chinese inscriptions on the headrest. There are also diamond-quilted inserts on the seats and center console, embossed ‘EB’ crests on the seat backs, a body-coloured center console inlay, and swathes of brushed aluminum trim.

Under the hood is a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine with 987 hp (736 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. That is quite enough for the car to accelerate from 0-100km/h (62 mph) in less than 2.7 seconds, 0-200km/h in 7.3 seconds, with a top speed of 407km/h (253mph). Power is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission with paddle shift.

The car is in pretty good condition with only 8,428 km on the odometer. It comes with the original red leather-bound key presentation box, an EEC certificate of conformity, a photocopy of the original Swiss registration, a copy of the Monaco registration card in the seller’s name, UK MOT certificates, one Contrôle Technique certificate from Monaco dated April 2023, the original stamped service book and owner’s operating guide, a battery charger, a Bugatti-branded car cover, and a selection of maintenance invoices.

The auction ends on February 18 and the highest bid at the time of writing was €900,500.

Lamborghini Urus upgraded by Mansory and MTM

This is not the first time that German tuning companies Mansory and MTM have joined forces on a joint project. As a basis for their latest creation, they used the Lamborghini Urus, which is responsible for the better financial situation of the famous Italian company.

The Mansory equipment kit brings a slightly smaller diffuser with a centrally placed triple exhaust system and larger air intakes. What sets Urus apart from similar creations is the 4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 1,001 hp (736 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. Interestingly, the Bugatti Veyron has the same number of horsepower. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a modified 8-speed automatic transmission.

As a reminder, the standard Urus develops 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, and reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h).

There is no performance data for the upgraded Urus, but there is no doubt that it will be much better than the performance of the basic Lamborghini Urus.
