Bugatti has completed the restoration of a unique Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, identified by chassis number 8.100. The roadster features a polished aluminum body and a Carmine Red leather interior. The restoration process was conducted at the company's headquarters in Molsheim, France, under the La Maison Pur Sang program.
The La Maison Pur Sang program focuses on certifying, restoring, and preserving the history of Bugatti vehicles. During the project, experts removed later personalization elements to return the car to its original specification. The vehicle has now been officially certified and joined a new collection on the French Riviera.
The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was a record-breaking model, reaching a top speed of 408.84 km/h in 2013. Bugatti produced a total of 450 Veyron units. In comparison, the Chiron production was limited to 500 units, while the upcoming V16-powered Tourbillon will be restricted to 250 units.
The restoration required the use of aluminum blocks weighing up to 20 tons to create the distinctive bodywork. The project involved extensive design studies to manage the interaction between light and the vehicle's surfaces. The car was recently observed being driven by Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso in Monaco.
