Last September Bugatti hosted a dinner on the night of the Frankfurt motor show where the company sold all five limited-edition Pur Sang (pure blood) Veyrons that it had released earlier that day. American enthusiasts that could not make it to the dinner were understandably pissed, so Bugatti rebounded by recently creating another limited edition model, the Sang Noir (black blood), which is being offered to U.S. customers before European customers get the chance to put their names down. Fifteen total Sang Noirs will hit the market.
Bugatti is keeping details on the Sang Noir hush, but photos of the limited-edition Veyron show that the car’s special black finish extends to the aluminum air intakes and that the San Noir’s sporting more bare carbon fiber than the standard Veyron. The images also show the Sang Noir sitting on a new set of wheels, which are more aggressive than those on Bugatti’s other limited-edition models like the Veyron Fbg par Hermès.
According to Bugatti, 230 of the 300 total planned Veyrons have been ordered. Limited-edition runs like the Sang Noir have fueled recent sales.

Not content being one of 300 to own Bugatti’s original $1.67 million Veyron coupe? Now, the French automaker is building an even more exclusive targa-top Veyron 16.4. Only 80 units of the t-top Veyron will be produced, and they’ll each carry a price tag of $1.79 million.
To support the added weight from the targa top, the new Veyron will ride on a beefier chassis, which will translate into a slightly slower top speed of 217 mph. Despite the performance drop, the experience of driving with the top off at 217 should be priceless.

On display in Geneva is the latest callabo from Bugatti and Hermès: the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès. Just as Maserati has paired up in the past with Ferragamo, the French firms joined forces to create the ultimate luxury super car statement.
Draped in custom Hermès touches, the Bugatti boasts a two-tone color scheme that extends from the hood to the interior of the cockpit, and re-emerges behind, at the level of the rear wing.
The interior is outfitted with Hermès-prepared bull-calf skin, which is better quality than standard leather because bulls’ skins don’t stretch during child bearing. Throughout the cockpit, Hermès has installed its own unique touches, like door handles similar to those found on their travel bags and luggage.
On the exterior, the new Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès features eight-spoked polished aluminum wheels, central butterfly wheel locks branded with the letter H, and Read the rest of this entry »
