This Bugatti Veyron was specially commissioned by an original owner who wanted the two-seater to be based on the Transformers movie franchise.
An entirely one-off specification, this is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable Veyrons to exist.
It is not a cheap aftermarket design job – the hypercar left the assembly line in this unique bodywork.
The Veyron has a one-off Transformers theme that features a livery celebrating the iconic franchise in its paintwork that runs throughout the car.
The eye-catching design culminates to form the iconic Autobots logo along the bonnet.
Finished in light blue with contrasting blue carbon fibre trim, the Veyron sports clear taillights and diamond-cut wheels.
The theme of the exterior paintwork carries through to the car’s interior, with matching two-tone blue and black leather and contrasting stitching throughout.
A Transformers logo is inlaid between the seats, mimicking the car’s paintwork.
Originally, the headrests were upholstered with the owner’s first name but were later retrimmed to remove the name.
The Grand Sport Vitesse model pairs the 1,200 bhp quad-turbo W-16 engine with open-top bodywork, making for a truly unforgettable driving experience.
Acquired by its current owner eight years ago, it has been driven just under 5,200 km from new and presents in excellent condition throughout.
It is capable of achieving 0–100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 410 km/h, making it the fastest production roadster ever built.
The rare edition was built in Bugatti’s factory in Molsheim in September 2014, after which it was sent to the US.
Once arriving stateside, the car was first seen in Los Gatos, California in July of 2015, and then it appeared at McCall’s Motorworks Revival during Monterey Car Week just a few short weeks later.
Later that year, it was displayed at the San Francisco International Auto Show before returning to Europe to its current owner.
With just 3,200 miles on the clock, the car seems as good as new – and is also covered by Bugatti’s Passport Tranquilite service plan through the end of 2024.
Throughout the 10-year production spell, Buggati only built 450 Veyrons across different editions – making the model a rare species.
And this exclusive design adds to the rarity of the hypercar.
Bidding for the auction opens on May 1 and will run till May 3.
While the pre-listing price of the rare hypercar has not been revealed yet, the car is likely to go beyond £2million – the original value of the motor.
Buggati’s latest adventure
A NEW Bugatti hypercar set to launch later this year is “going to blow you out of the water
Boffins at the supercar manufacturer are working around the clock on a top-secret project.
The only detail confirmed so far is that the hypercar will feature an internal combustion engine. Experts have speculated the motor could feature an 8.3-litre V16 developed by Cosworth.
Former Bugatti Director of Design, Achim Anscheidt, said last year the car is going to be “even more amazing” than the fearsome Mistral.
He said: “It’s going to be amazing, proportionally, technologically, in terms of innovation, in terms of unexpectedness.
“It’s going to blow people out of the water completely, and it’s a true joy to work on this.”
