450th and final Bugatti Veyron to bow in Geneva

By RELAXNEWS | 10 February 2015


STUTTGART: Bugatti has announced that the very last Veyron will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, which takes place March 5 to 15.

Most likely a one-off, the 450th model will conclude the long list of limited series launched since the supercar's commercial debut in 2005.

Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Schreiber announced this in an interview with German website Auto Motor Und Sport,

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse has a W16 engine with around 1,200hp, which takes it from 0 to 100kph in just 2.6 seconds. With a record top speed of 408.84kph for the convertible version with the top down, the model is still the world's fastest production roadster.

In 2013 and 2014, Bugatti released an entire collection of Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse limited series, each with just three cars priced at euro;2 million apiece.

These special editions were dedicated to Ettore Bugatti (the founder of the brand), Jean Bugatti (car designer, Ettore's son), Rembrandt Bugatti (sculptor, Ettor

e's younger brother), Jean-Pierre Wimille (two-time Le Mans 24 Hours champion for Bugatti), Bartolomeo 'Meo' Costantini (sporting manager at Bugatti) and Roland Garros (aviator and Ettore's friend).
