Bugatti has always been known as an ultra deluxe car and much sought after by the wealthy drivers who crave ridiculously fast cars. Well, if you are not fortunate enough–or foolish enough, depending on how fast and furious you are—-here’s your chance to own your very own–for a mere $1.58 million:
Bugatti will mark its 100th birthday with a celebration the factory is calling its “Centenaire”, which will result, at the end of this year, in an announcement regarding a future model.
Guy Caquelin, Bugatti’s market manager for Europe, told Motoring: “Soon the order books will be closed on the Veyron but what I can tell you is that there is a bright future for Bugatti beyond the production lifespan of that one car.”
Bugatti’s Centenaire celebrations will include being the featured marque at this year’s Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza at Lake Como, where the company intends to showcase “something special” and Ralph Lauren will be presenting his legendary Type 57S Atlantic. At 2009’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Bugatti will share centre stage with VW stablemates Bentley as joint featured marques and on September 12-13 there will be a celebratory event at Molsheim in France, Bugatti’s spiritual home.
So far 31 Veyrons have been sold to UK customers, making it a key market for the brand. As Bugatti’s historian, Julius Kruta explains, there’s a different approach to ownership here compared to other countries. “The Brits easily have the highest mileage Veyrons because they love to drive the things and it’s wonderful to see that appreciation of our engineering.”
If your pockets are deep enough, the open-top Veyron Grand Sport is available now for a bargain €1.2m. (1.58 million USD)
