A Unique Restoration
As part of its La Maison Pur Sang program, dedicated to the restoration and preservation of its historical models, Bugatti has restored a unique Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse hypercar. More than ten years after its production, the car returned to the factory, where specialists verified its authenticity, carried out the necessary restoration work, and returned the vehicle to its original condition.
Mirror Aluminum Instead of Paint
The main feature of this example is the body: instead of traditional paintwork, Bugatti used aluminum polished to a mirror shine. To manufacture the body panels, the company used up to 20 tons of aluminum raw material. The roadster's interior is upholstered in scarlet leather, with exposed carbon fiber elements and hand-crafted details used in the trim.
Certificate and New Owner
After the work was completed, the hypercar received a special certificate and was sent to the collection of its new owner on the French Riviera. Experts value the car at no less than $3 million. The company has not officially disclosed the buyer's name; however, according to the publication, two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso was seen behind the wheel of this unusual Veyron on the streets of Monaco.
