Bugatti has been at the top of the hypercar food chain for decades, with uncompromising engineering, opulent luxury, and incredible exclusivity. Now that the W16 era of the brand is coming to an end, which began in the early 2000s, the earliest W16 Bugatti hypercars, the Veyron lineup, are beginning to earn icon and modern classic status.
With that in mind, Bugatti has established La Maison Pur Sang, a division of the manufacturer that is dedicated to preserving past hypercars and bringing them into the present day refreshed and reimagined. The latest La Maison Pur Sang is a particularly special Bugatti Veyron, a Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse commissioned by a customer with a discerning affinity for highly individualized cars.
The original vehicle was created with a body in exposed polished aluminum. When the vehicle was originally crafted, that unique challenge required blocks of aluminum weighing as much as 20 tons to be delivered to Molsheim. With the purity of the polished aluminum defining the exterior, it’s complemented by an interior in Carmine Red leather, along with other details in carbon fiber and polished aluminum.

Also defining the automotive masterpiece is its incredible engineering. As a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, it combines the open-top thrill of the Veyron Grand Sport with the added performance of the Veyron Super Sport. Returning to Molsheim for its La Maison Pur Sang refurbishment, the one-off hypercar roadster was painstakingly reconfigured and also underwent a thorough certification process.
Given a new chapter thanks to La Maison Pur Sang, the aluminum-bodied one-off Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse lives in the French Riviera now. With its certification and refurbishment, a stunning, bespoke piece of Bugatti’s hypercar excellence lives on proudly.
