Colors scheme aside, all four special edition Veyrons come with polished aluminum doors, front fenders and exterior mirrors, plus unique eight-spoke alloy wheels and aluminum front grille and air vents. Inside the 'Centenaire' Veyrons feature special materials and colors along with a commemorative plate. "We have put a lot of effort into translating colour and material, the defining characteristics of our historic role models, into the designs of the modern-day Veyrons," said Alasdair Stewart, Director Sales & Marketing at Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. "We have taken extreme care to match the original colours of the original race cars, exterior and interior."
Continuing its centenary celebrations, Bugatti presented four special edition Veyrons at this weekend's Concorso d'Eleganza in Italy. These one off models pay homage to Bugatti's Type 35 Grand Prix racing car that won almost 2,000 races between 1924 and 1934. Each of the four Veyron Specials is named after a Bugatti race-car driver of the 1920s and 30s, and bears the racing colors of their respective country.
The blue Veyron is dedicated to Jean-Pierre Wimille (1908-1949)from France, the red model pays tribute to Achille Varzi (1904-1948) from Italy, the green to Malcolm Campbell (1885-1949) from England and the white Veyron to Hermann zu Leiningen (1901-1971) from Germany.
