Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has been on the market for eight years now, but we can’t say we’ve grown tired of it yet. In its most recent iteration, the Grand Sport Vitesse, it’s actually the fastest roadster on the planet—recently setting an open-top speed record of 254.04 mph on Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track. Now Volkswagen’s ultra-luxury subsidiary is offering the Bugatti Legend Jean-Pierre Wimille, a model designation that masks the fact that it’s actually an elaborately made-up Grand Sport Vitesse.

The Legend Jean-Pierre Wimille, of which just three examples will be built, is named after a former Bugatti test driver and two-time Le Mans winner. It’s the first in a series of six “Legend” models, which the French marque will launch throughout the year—all of them based on the Grand Sport Vitesse. And right now, Bugatti will say only that each Legend edition will bear the name of a person that has played a pivotal role in the brand’s history.
