For over a century, #Bugatti has been making history by designing the worldâs fastest and luxurious supercars. The time has now come to celebrate the remarkable people behind the car, the legendary figures that have shaped the Bugatti story. To commemorate these heroes from our past, we are proudly launching six exclusive editions of the Bugatti #Veyron16.4 Grand Sport #Vitesse – Les #LĂ©gendes De Bugatti. The first Legend Edition is dedicated to the world-famous motorsports icon Jean-Pierre Wimille, who twice led Bugatti to victory at Le Mans. Behind the wheel of his distinctive blue Type 57G Tank, Wimille first raced to victory in 1937 and legendary status was secured. In honour, the special-edition Grand Sport Vitesse has been designed in blue clear-coated carbon fibre and a âBleu Wimilleâ finish. Jean- Pierre would surely approve.
Check out the original design sketches below to see how we gave a piece of Bugatti history a very modern makeover.
