Capable of a top speed of over mph and sprints to 60 mph in less than three seconds, passengers were also treated to unrivaled luxury. The incredible performance was courtesy of a 1,bhp, W engine. Simply put, this was achieved by bolting two V-8 engines together and fitting it with four turbochargers. Months were spent engineering, scrutinizing, and testing all aspects of the car to ensure that none would crack under pressure, or at speed.
Fine attention to detail is needed to produce a car capable of such speeds, and it comes as no surprise that almost every part of the Veyron is hand-built. Hundreds of hours are spent painstakingly crafting components such as its carbon-ceramic disc brakes, 10 radiators, and even its tires, designed and produced especially for the Veyron by Michelin.
While each engine is stated to produce 1, hp, most cars produce between 1, and 1, hp in optimum conditions; 1, was merely the lowest amount of power the cars produce in unfavorable conditions. It can deaccelerate to a stop from 62 mph in just 2.
With only Veyron coupes produced, some would be more special than others as Bugatti crafted a handful of special editions with unique features.
Designed as an homage to the Type 57S Atlantic, the Sang Noir is finished in two tone black paint and exposed carbon fiber. Keen eyes will note the unique chrome-plated horseshoe grille with polished wheels. This car is particularly special in that while its siblings feature orange leather interiors, this car is trimmed in unique bright red leather. It was shipped to Miller Motorcars in December for the annual service, which included a new battery, the fitment of four new tires, new front brake rotors, and new brake pads on each wheel.
Following service, the Veyron was found to be in faultless working order and has been driven less than miles since. Four years after the last example was built, the Veyron has aged wonderfully in all respects. Its performance is still world-beating and its design, penned some two decades ago, remains tasteful, purposeful, and aggressive. The special-edition Veyron variants are amongst the most desirable, and the Sang Noir is as subtle as it is unique.
With only 12 examples built, it represents a fraction of overall production. Following its recent service, this example is ready to be driven and enjoyed, the perfect stablemate to a Chiron, collection of modern supercars, or vintage Bugattis.
Attend the right car shows and you'll quickly find out that even the rarest hypercars aren't so rare anymore. Bugatti recently completed the th Chiron out of a total of , so standing out even amongst Bug owners may prove difficult.
Thankfully, high-end showroom CNC Exotics in Ontario, California has you covered, as they currently has an ultra-rare Veyron Sang Noir listed for sale, one of 12 in existence. Bugatti built just 12 Sang Noir-edition Veyrons while "experimenting with darker shades and tonalities" according to the company's website , as an homage to the elegant Type 57S Atlantic of the mid s. Thus, all of the cars feature a Jet Black exterior with exposed carbon fiber on the roof, hood, and engine bay.
