Bleu Centenaire

This version was a new edition created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bugatti brand. The entire body was painted blue, rather than the standard two-tone scheme. Instead, a combination of matte and gloss "Bugatti Blue" paint was used.[10] The mid-section between the two wings on the hood was expanded, and a chrome strip up the middle was added. The car is also more expensive than the standard Veyron, costing in excess of £1,000,000.

The car was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
Mansory Linea Vincerò

German car tuner, Mansory, decided to tune up the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. What was born was the Vincerò, meaning 'I will win' in Italian. The front part gets a comprehensive face-lift including modified wings, a shorter hood and a striking front apron. The LED daytime running lights integrated in the front mount and the implemented stylised “V” as a special tribute to the name “Vincerò” draw even more attention to the car. The newly developed side skirts are the visual and aerodynamic connection between the axles. Larger air outlets at the sides and at the back render optimal engine cooling and in combination with the new diffuser, they underline the powerful car design. Mansory transforms the car using an ultra light and high strength carbon giving it a light look (and drive). The car costs about a million above that of the stock Bugatti.
Grand Sport Sang Bleu

Bugatti unveiled the Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu, an exclusive, one off Grand Sport, honoring the marques precious heritage. Instead of applying two paint colours or paint and material to highlight the two tone design the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu exclusively concentrates on materials, particularly carbon fibre and aluminium.

The Pebble Beach car is blue carbon fibre with polished aluminium. The visual carbon fibre is tinted in royal blue to emphasize the refined volumes and surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. The rear airscoops are tinted in the same nightblue to fluidly integrate into the overall design philosophy of this unique model.

The rims are inspired by the Grand Sport Roadster and are highlighted in a Midnight Blue and Diamond Cut two tone finish. The interior is trimmed in a newly developed Gaucho leather, which blends with exterior materials to better create a harmonious overall appearance.
