Bugatti Unveils its Final ‘Legend’, Dedicated to Founder Ettore Bugatti

Bugatti has finally unveiled the sixth and final member of its acclaimed Legends of Bugatti series, a stunning special edition dedicated to the company founder himself, Ettore Arco Isidoro Bugatti.

Like all previous installments, this one is also based on the Grand Sport Vitesse model. Featuring a clear-coated carbon and hand-polished aluminum blue body and complemented by color-coordinated unique diamond-cut alloy wheels, the vehicle was designed as a homage to the 1932 Type 41 Royale.

For the interior, the Italian carmaker has, for the first time ever, used two types of leather, which combine with blue exposed carbon accents and a dancing elephant motif coated in aluminum – another tribute to the Type 41. The figure, which is also featured on the other five special editions, was originally sculpted by Rembrandt Bugatti, Ettore’s brother, an artist with a penchant for depicting wildlife in his works.

The Bugatti Veyron Ettore Bugatti special edition is set to be showcased on August 15 at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, alongside the other five vehicles which make up this amazing series: Black Bess, Rembrandt Bugatti, Jean-Pierre Wimille, Meo Constantini, and Jean Bugatti. Like its siblings, the latest model will be limited to three units and will cost €2.35 million (about $3.15 million).
