The 2010 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport ‘Sang Bleu’ stands as a magnificent testament to the convergence of automotive innovation and artistry, crafted to commemorate Bugatti’s centennial celebrations. This unique show car, with its breathtaking design and unparalleled performance, was unveiled to the world during the marque’s 100th-anniversary events, leaving a lasting impression at prestigious gatherings including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The ‘Sang Bleu’ distinguishes itself through its extraordinary “unfinished” coachwork, which combines royal blue exposed carbon fiber with polished aluminum, creating a visual masterpiece that is both opulent and distinctly Bugatti. This one-off model, under the stewardship of just two private owners, has led a sheltered existence, meticulously cared for to preserve its pristine condition and boasting a mere 2,793 miles on the odometer.
At its core, the Sang Bleu is powered by Bugatti’s legendary 1,001-horsepower, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine, capable of propelling the car from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 2.46 seconds. The Grand Sport variant of the Veyron not only elevates the open-top driving experience but does so with the surefootedness and agility afforded by its all-wheel-drive system, making it a hypercar that defies the limits of speed and performance.
The Sang Bleu’s design philosophy extends beyond its exterior, with the interior lavishly appointed in Gaucho leather, creating an ambiance of luxury that complements the car’s dynamic exterior. This special edition further stands out with two-tone wheels and engine intakes finished in matching royal blue, underscoring the meticulous attention to detail that defines Bugatti.
Having graced only a select number of automotive shows in the United States, this Bugatti Veyron Sang Bleu is not only a collector’s dream but also a piece of automotive history that celebrates 100 years of Bugatti excellence. Following a major service in September 2023, this unparalleled vehicle is now offered for sale, presenting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Bugatti’s storied legacy.
