• Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Edition for sale at H.R. Owen in London and on display at the Jack Barclay Bugatti showroom in Berkeley Square
• The world’s fastest roadster, with a record top speed of 254.04mph
• H.R. Owen is the only place to buy the new Bugatti Chiron in the UK when it goes on sale later this year
• H.R. Owen Bugatti Brand Director Anita Krizsan has sold more Veyrons than anyone else in Europe

H.R. Owen has a unique opportunity to buy the world’s fastest roadster, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Edition, with a low mileage example going on sale at the flagship showroom in London. The eye-catching black and orange car is currently available for viewing at the dealership in Berkeley Square, which is the only official UK dealer for Bugatti sales and servicing.

Now that production has stopped of the Bugatti Veyron, this is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable cars ever made. The open-top example up for sale at H.R. Owen is finished in Black Carbon Fibre, with Orange painted Arancia Carbon Fibre details.

The black and orange theme continues inside, with black and orange leather combining with Arancia Mira Alcantara. The colour scheme was conceived for the car’s record-breaking speed attempt, which took place in April 2013 when it reached a speed of 254.04mph (408.84km/h). This run made the 1200PS (1184bhp) car officially the world’s fastest open top car.

This car is the ultimate incarnation of the Veyron. Of the 450 Veyrons made, there were only 150 roadsters produced and of those, only eight were world record editions, making this a truly rare car.

This particular version is a UK car, and was originally registered in October 2013. It has only had the one owner since then, and has covered just 1130 miles in its lifetime.

With the Veyron only ever being made in limited numbers – only 450 were made over nine years of production – values of this car are set to be strong in the future. This Grand Sport Vitesse is offered for sale at £1,795,000.

The Veyron remains the most exclusive Bugatti ever made, until the release of the Chiron later this year. When the Chiron goes on sale, it will only be available in the UK at H.R. Owen’s London showroom.

Anita Krizsan, Bugatti Brand Director for H.R. Owen, says: “It was a pleasure to sell this car to its first owner the first time around, and we are delighted that our unique relationship with our clients means that we have the opportunity to help the car find its second owner. This is a fantastic example of an iconic car, which has been meticulously cared for in its life so far. It will make for a wonderful investment for collectors and enthusiast alike.”

Anita is a leading authority on all things to do with the brand, and is one of the most successful Bugatti sales people in the world. She sold a record 11 Bugatti Veyrons in 2012.

Bugatti launches yet another one off model Veyron

Bugatti blurs the lines between customer personalisation and special editions with one-off Singapore-bound Veyron 1 of 1 at Pebble Beach

The total number of different Bugatti Veyron special edition models has now passed 25 with this latest creation, the Veyron Vitesse ‘1 of 1’. Unsurprisingly, the 1 of 1 is a unique one-off specified by a customer in Singapore, and revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d-Elegance in California this week.

The black and yellow colour scheme is a nod to classic Bugatiis like the Type 41 Roytale and Type 55, which were painted black and yellow at the request of the company’s founder Ettore Bugatti and his son, Jean, who inspired one of the ‘Legendes Edition’ Veyron Vitesses. A Bugatti Type 44 is shown next to the Veyron 1 of 1 below.

Besides contrasting clear-coat and top-coated carbon fibre panels, the Veyron 1 of 1 also gets black and yellow grilles, wheels, and the customer’s ‘PL’ initials laser-cut into the front grille. More than 200 man hours have been lavished on the front grille treatment alone.

Inside, the 1 of 1 isn’t just a case of black leather and yellow stitching: the door trims feature laser-etched sketches of the Veyron’s silhouette, while the door sills are engraved with a portrait of the car’s Singapore-based owner. We wonder what effect that particular detail has on this €2million+ (£1.6m+) car’s resale value.

Veyron production is, after a ten-year run, soon to finish at the Molsheim plant in France. During the Veyron’s life span, 12 special editions of the hard-top model have been offered, across both the standard 16:4 and faster Super Sport variants.

The targa-top Grand Sport has seen 14 special editions so far, including six different ‘Legendes Editions’ with the final version revealed also shown at Pebble Beach. Because several of the special edition runs have spawned multiple cars, the total number of ‘special’ Veyrons is believed to be around 80 cars, of the total 400 coupes and convertibles set to be built.

However, Bugatti is working on more than just new paint finishes. Our spies have already caught a more powerful successor to the iconic quad-turbo W16 supercar testing, in anticipation of a 270mph-plus successor.

400 down, 50 to go, The Bugatti Veyron nears the end of production.

Just 50 models of the super sports car are still available

400th Veyron is a Grand Sport Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille” of the
six-part edition “Les Légendes de Bugatti”

Head of Bugatti Wolfgang Schreiber, “A unique success story about the most exclusive and luxurious super sports car brand in the world”

Bugatti has sold its 400th Veyron. Since the production run of the Veyron and its variants is limited to just 450 models, this means just 50 more are still available. The 400th Veyron is a Grand Sport Vitesse and has been bought by a customer in the Middle East.

With the sale of the 400th Veyron, Bugatti is celebrating another milestone and so begins the final lap of the super sports car’s journey. Since its launch in 2005, Bugatti has sold all coupés that were limited to 300 – the Veyron 16.4 with 1,001 PS and the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport with 1,200 PS – and 100 of the planned 150 roadsters: the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport with 1,001 PS and the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse with 1,200 PS have now been sold, leaving just 50 models left to buy.

Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S, said, “With the Veyron, Bugatti has established itself as the most exclusive and most luxurious super sports car brand in the world. The Veyron is a unique success story and sets a high standard for the future of Bugatti.”

The recently sold 400th Veyron is the third and final Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille” in the exclusive six-part edition “Les Légendes de Bugatti”. The series was launched in August at California’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance with the Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille”. This was followed by the Legend car, “Jean Bugatti”, which was presented at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt. In November the third Legend Edition, dedicated to Meo Costantini, was revealed to the public at the Dubai International Motor Show 2013. As with all Bugatti Legend cars, the production run is limited to only three vehicles. The Legend Edition “Jean-Pierre Wimille” is priced at €2.13 million, excluding taxes and transport.

The Legend cars are based on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. The 1,200 PS super car is powered by an eight litre, 16 valve engine and accelerates from 0 - 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds and from 0 - 200 km/h in only 7.1 seconds. Even its brakes are powerful: The Vitesse needs just 5.8 seconds to go from 200 km/h to a complete stop. The super sports car achieves an impressive 1,500 Nm torque between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm. Since April this year the Grand Sport Vitesse can claim to be the fastest roadster in the world with a record of 408.84 km/h driven with the roof off. This makes Bugatti the holder of two world speed records, the other being the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport’s record, set in 2010, for the fastest production car when it reached 431.072 km/h.

Bugatti was founded more than 100 years ago in the Alsatian town of Molsheim and today belongs to the Volkswagen Group, which took over the rights to the brand in 1998.

Bugatti, staying true to its motto “Art, Form, Technique”, combines the artistic roots of its Italian founder with French savoir-vivre, and German engineering ingenuity. The development of the Bugatti Veyron represented one of the greatest technical challenges in automotive history. The success story began in 2005 with the Veyron 16.4 and in 2008 the open-top Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport pulled up alongside the 1,001 PS super sports car. Then, in 2010 the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport with 1,200 PS hit the road, and in 2012 its roadster variant the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse followed.

The Veyron is still setting the standard today: it is the most powerful and fastest production car in the world and can be used every day, with luxurious and comfortable travel in mind.

With 30 dealerships and service partners in 18 countries Bugatti is a global player. The brand is represented in all corners of the world including Europe, North and South America and the Middle East as well as Japan, Singapore and China.
