The beauty of the Grand Sport Veyron is that it gives you the luxury of a sedan and performance that is unheard of in a road car. I think nobody will make a car like the Veyron ever again, at least not with an internal combustion engine. Since they are going to make only a limited number of cars, I think these will all become collector’s items

I had the privilege of visiting the Bugatti factory in Mulshane last month and the opportunity to meet Julius Kruta, who is not just a historian, but a walking-talking encyclopaedia on the history of Bugatti and his cars. Julius showed us round and explained all the manufacturing technicalities of the Veyron. The manufacturing plant is a very small unit with only 25 engineers divided into five teams, each team building one car from scratch.

The Veyron Grand Sport has a grille made of titanium. And thereby hangs a tale. The original grille was made of aluminium. While being driven at its top speed in South Africa, the car suffered a bird hit. Such was the impact that the radiator got damaged and the car had to be transported back in a lorry. So, titanium replaced aluminium. The Bugatti monogram on the grille is made of sterling silver.
