Default Bugatti EB16.4 Veyron Pur Sang



Forget your bare carbon Pagani Zondas. This is the real pure car.
Only 5 will be produced.

What's the diff. besides that metallic paint?

And was the Pegaso Veyron a special model, or was it "just" a Veyron that was fixed up by that coachbuilder?

Not metallic paint, but just clearcoated, and polished (it takes prolly 5,000 man hours to polish an entire body)

I don't like the name, pur sang goes more with a hard core super sportscar, not with a super gt...

I thought the Veyron was fully carbon as well?! Doesn't make sense to me. Why not use it? To save money?
Hehe, mTm did it before with an Audi A8. Which has been shipped to the united emirates (how exclusive can you get )
I wonder if this polishing will increase its topspeed as well Might create less friction 8)

Cheers

Where did you find the specs? If there's that kind of difference then I understand it being something unique. So, there was 100kg exces weight in Veyron from the very beginning. Surprising that they can so easily shed that weight?

replace DOT with .

I've never liked the looks of the Veyron and, although this looks bling, I think it suits the car very well and this is probably the best one I've seen!

Awesome :shock: Best color combination for sure! Could be disorientating for other cars in the traffic though...
