Okay, so those names aren�t official, but two Veyrons did show up at the 2011 Shanghai auto show: One based on the 1200-hp Super Sport and the other a riff on the targa-roofed and 1001-hp-weakling Grand Sport.
Let�s cover the roofless one first. Commissioned by an unspecified buyer from an unspecified location, this one is finished in matte-white paint from the door sills up, with bare blue carbon fiber doing the rest of the dressing. The wheels are tinted blue, too, and the interior is a world of blue broken up by bright-white stitching on the steering wheel, seats, and shift lever, and in a Spirograph-style pattern on the center console. It�s a striking (and some might say Maserati MC-12�esque) take on a car that we�ve called the result of one man�s�Ferdinand Pi�ch�s�diabolical vision.
Speaking of diabolical, that may be the best way to describe the Super Sport seen here. The exterior is rendered entirely in exposed black carbon fiber, and the monochromatic take combines with the Super Sport�s unique rear end and engine cover to lend it a little bit of a Bread Van look. The wheels and fuel-filler door are contrasts in black and bare aluminum. Pieces of aluminum trim travel up from in front of each side window to form the divisions between body sides and NACA-ducted roof before ducking under the taillights and meeting under the Bugatti logo. The cockpit is decked out in Snow Beige and Beluga Black sueded material, and carbon lines the door inners and center console. The entire package is as sinister as we�ve seen a Veyron, yet it�s still relatively understated, especially in comparison to the black-and-orange livery worn by the first Super Sports. This 258-mph wonder won�t be able to say it�s been everywhere, man, either, instead remaining in China with its new owner, who bought it prior to the show.
