Bugatti has restored and upgraded a version of its legendary Veyron, 20 years after the original car made its debut.
It seems hard to believe the archetypal modern hypercar is already two decades old, which is perhaps a testament to Jozef Kaban’s timeless design.
To mark the Veyron’s 20th anniversary, and to showcase the talents of its La Maison Pur Sang customisation department, Bugatti has given its 250mph icon the restomod treatment.
Developed in partnership with its owner, the unique La Maison Pur Sang Veyron 20 Years subtly incorporates numerous modern details, resulting in a truly one-of-one Bugatti.
A unique Veyron colour combination
The exterior of the La Maison Pur Sang Veyron 20 Years features paint options taken from Bugatti’s later models, creating a colour combination never seen before.
‘Rouge Rembrandt’ covers the wings and doors of the Veyron – a hue developed for the marque’s new V16-powered Tourbillon.
This is combined with ‘Petrol Blue’, taken from the 2016 Chiron, to create a unique pair of contrasting colours.
La Maison Pur Sang has also redesigned the mesh filling the Veyron’s various intake grilles, with a three-dimensional effect that provides a more youthful appearance.
The Veyron’s trademark ‘Machiavelli’ alloy wheels have also grown in size, to 20 inches at the front and 21s at the rear.
Like many of the best restomods, the alterations made aren’t immediately obvious, yet they are enough to set the car apart from a ‘standard’ Veyron.
Given its already prodigious power output, the quad-turbocharged W16 engine has been left unaltered.
Preserving the essence of Bugatti
Inside, La Maison Pur Sang Veyron 20 Years has been retrimmed in Magnolia leather. New Moccasin stitching has been developed, with the hand-crafted effect applied to the steering wheel and gear lever.
A special ‘20 years of Veyron’ emblem is fitted between the seats, plus there is a new ‘Côte de Genève’ finish for the dashboard.
Frank Heyl, director of design at Bugatti, commented: “The Veyron is one of the most important cars in Bugatti history, and any adjustment to that original, legendary formula must begin with respect.
“With the La Maison Pur Sang program, we are preserving the essence of each Bugatti, while giving owners the opportunity to bring a new dimension of personal expression to their car and bring an automotive icon into new light.
“With this exquisite example of the Veyron, La Maison Pur Sang further elevates the exceptional opportunities that it offers, where fully tailor-made restorations find their place in the echelons of automotive history.”
