A special edition of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport convertible has been unveiled at the ultra-exclusive Pebble Beach show in California. While several special edition Bugatti Veyrons have been released, this is the first targa-top to get a makeover.
Like almost all Veyrons it is finished in two main colours – but the blue carbon fibre and polished aluminium are exclusive the Sang Bleu. The other striking change is the wheels - which are painted as meticulously as the car - body-coloured rear air intakes and new leather trim inside the cabin.
With the standard Veyron Grand Sport costing around £1.2m, the Sang Bleu is expected to fetch almost £1.5m.
For £899,995 you can get behind the wheel of Formula 1 star Jenson Button's Veyron – it's currently for sale on Auto Trader. The rare all-black model has covered just 1,500 miles and is for sale with Steve Hurn's Specialist Cars.
With 1,001bhp it accelerates from 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 253bhp – 33mph faster than Jenson's F1 car.
