Bugatti has debuted the second of six Veyron Legends edition models in the form of the Bugatti Veyron Jean Bugatti at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. This car pays tribute to Jean Bugatti, son of the company founder and creator of the Type 57SC Atlantic. The special edition model will be limited to only three vehicles with a cost of 2.28 million euros.
The technology in the Bugatti Legend Edition "Jean Bugatti" is based on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, whose 8-litre W16 engine generates an enormous 1,200 PS and an unparalleled 1,500 Nm torque at 3,000 to 5,000 rpm. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.6 seconds.
The body is constructed entirely from jet black, clear-coated carbon fibre, making it the embodiment of elegance and the apex of technical engineering. The use of platinum lends an air of extravagance to the vehicle. The vehicle's elegant, minimalist appearance is further punctuated by its wheels, which feature black diamond-cut rims. The signature of Jean Bugatti has been lasered onto the petrol and oil cap and painted Arctic grey.
The interior is fully fitted out in leather. It features the same beige and brown tones that were present in the Type 57SC Atlantic. The seats, instrument panel, steering wheel, dash panel, centre console, door trim panels and windscreen crossmember are all rendered in chocolate brown.
