A 2013 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse will be featured at RM Sotheby’s upcoming auction, “Essen 2019,” that will take place on April 11-12, 2019 in Essen. The pre-auction estimate of this unique and rare car is € 1,500,000 - € 1,700,000, and it will be featured in lot 272 at the auction. “Offering the Best of Both Worlds in the Open Air Experience of the Grand Sport and the Superbike Sport, the Grand Sport Vitesse is the Veyron's Swansong, and the most desirable iteration of the model. Performance remained remarkably similar to the Super Sport, as it was capable of achieving 0-100 km / h in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 410 km / h, making it the fastest production roadster ever built. Bugatti's engineers thus took time to strengthen the chassis in order to reduce body weight during hard acceleration, deceleration, and cornering, ensuring that the car's performance would not be compromised due to its lack of a fixed roof,” states the auction house. Some of the important features of this Bugatti Veyron is that it was specifically built by Bugatti for display at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and it has numerous custom touches throughout, including exposed carbon fiber bodywork. It has covered less that 550 miles from new, and it is one of the only 92 Grand Sport Vitesses built and 47 delivered in 2013. RM Sotheby’s mentions in their press release, “Instead of being built for a specific client, this Grand Sport Vitesse, Chassis no. 795027, is what makes it the most important motor show of the year, the Geneva Motor Show. Produced in early 2013 in Geneva on Bugatti's stand alongside a Grand Sport and another Vitesse. Using the motor show as the perfect excuse to show off the level of customization that could be ordered with the Veyron, exactly one year after the model was first launched, Bugatti built this car to EU specifications very tastefully in a fully exposed black carbon fiber over interior trimmed in two-tone Gaucho and Beluga Black leather and Bugatti Light Blue stitching.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
