Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Blue
We zijn ondertussen de tel kwijt, maar Bugatti heeft opnieuw een limited edition klaar. Deze keer voor de Veyron Grand Sport.

Kennen jullie de Sang Noir, Blue Centenaire en Fbg door Hermès nog? Deze keer heeft Bugatti ter ere van zijn honderd jarig bestaan voor een speciale versie van de Veyron Grand Sport gezorgd, de Sang Bleu. De Sang Bleu wordt two-tone uitgevoerd maar in plaats van twee soorten verf te gebruiken wordt er gebruik gemaakt van twee contrasterende materialen: Carbonvezel en Aluminium.

Volgens Bugatti belichaamt de combinatie van deze twee materialen zijn waarden van kunst, vorm en techniek. Het Carbon werd in het blauw uitgevoerd, het aluminium werd in zijn natuurlijke vorm gepolijst. Opvallend zijn ook de grote velgen die licht verdonkerd zijn en waarin volgens Bugatti diamantstructuur verborgen zit.

In het interieur wordt gebruik gemaakt van Gaucho leder en onder de motorkap huist nog steeds de bekende W16-motor, goed voor 1001 pk en 1.250 Nm koppel. De Sang Bleu wordt voorgesteld op het Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

A new Bugatti piece of art for Pebble Beach
The « Sang Bleu » to honour the 100th anniversary of the marque
Carmel, California, 14th August 2009. – Continuing this year’s 100th anniversary celebrations
Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has chosen the prestigious Pebble Beach weekend to present a further
highlight to pay tribute to this legendary brand : The company proudly unveils the Bugatti
« Sang Bleu » – an exclusive, one-off Grand Sport, honouring the marques precious heritage.
Innovation and Harmony
The « Sang Bleu » has ventured into new areas. Instead of applying two paint colours or paint and
material to highlight the two tone design the « Sang Bleu » exclusively concentrates on materials – carbon
fibre and aluminum – an innovative combination never realised before. This unique approach opens a
new dimension of « Art – Forme – Technique », the company’s core values.
The colour combination commissioned for the Pebble Beach car is blue carbon fibre with
polished aluminum. The visual carbon fibre is tinted in royal blue to emphasize the refined volumes and
surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. The rear airscoops are tinted in the same nightblue –
offering a dramatic view from above – and thus fluidly integrate into the overall design philosophy
of this unique model.
The rims are inspired by the Grand Sport Roadster and are highlighted in a Midnight Blue and Diamond
Cut two tone finish. The interior, specially and tastefully selcted for the Pebble Beach event, is trimmed in
a newly developed Gaucho leather which blends with the intriguing and pure exterior materials creating
an elegant and harmonious overall appearance.
