2014 Bugatti 16\/4 Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse \u2018Black Bess\u2019<\/h1>\n

Molsheim, 10 April 2014. With its fifth model in the six-part \u201cLes L\u00e9gendes de Bugatti\u201d (Bugatti Legends) Edition, Bugatti has revived the legendary Type 18 \u201cBlack Bess\u201d, which went down in automotive history as one of the first ever street legal super sports cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the upcoming Auto China motor show in Beijing (from 21 to 29 April) the French luxury manufacturer will be presenting as a world premiere the modern interpretation of the Type 18, the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse \u201cBlack Bess\u201d.<\/p>\n

As one of the fastest road vehicles in the world at the time, the Type 18 \u201cBlack Bess\u201d is a direct forerunner of today\u2019s world speed record-holding Bugatti Veyron.<\/p>\n

As with all models in the Edition, the current Legends model is limited to a run of three vehicles and is available for a net price of \u20ac 2.15 million. Of the four Legend models already presented, all twelve vehicles have been sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the course of its history, Bugatti has not only been responsible for crafting enormously successful race cars, but has also created some outstanding road vehicles,\u201d notes Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. \u201cAs the fastest road vehicle of its time, the Type 18 was in a class of its own. It truly is the legitimate forerunner for the Veyron, and is therefore a Bugatti Legend.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Type 18 was one of the most important Bugattis of the pre-war era, both ahead of its time and in a league of its own thanks to its impressive technical features.<\/p>\n

As is the case with all of the Legend vehicles, the \u201cBlack Bess\u201d is based on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. Its 1,200 PS, 8 litre W16 engine achieves an unparalleled torque of 1,500 Nm at 3,000\u20135,000 rpm, and can accelerate from 0\u2013100 km in 2.6 seconds.<\/p>\n

With a maximum speed of 408.84 km\/h with the roof down, the Vitesse is the fastest production roadster ever built.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2019Black Bess\u2019 Legend Vitesse is yet another fine example of Bugatti\u2019s innovative power when it comes to creating exclusive automobiles,\u201d explains Bugatti Head Designer, Achim Anscheidt. \u201cWe have developed a new process for individually hand-painting the leather in the vehicle\u2019s interior, the like of which has never been used before in the automotive industry.<\/p>\n

The leather and the ink applied by the designer have been technically developed and processed so that they can withstand the stresses inside the vehicle and fulfil the valid quality requirements demanded by modern day production.<\/p>\n

Exterior<\/h3>\n

The body of the \u201cBlack Bess\u201d Vitesse is constructed entirely of carbon fibre and, just like its historical predecessor, is painted completely black.<\/p>\n

The gold-coloured accents that make the Type 18 \u201cBlack Bess\u201d so unmistakable are reflected in exquisite fashion on the modern Bugatti.<\/p>\n

For example, some of the Bugatti\u2019s body components are coated in 24-carat gold.<\/p>\n

Indeed, this precious material has been used for the striking Bugatti horseshoe, which gleams against the background of the black front grille, creating a truly expressive front view for the Vitesse.<\/p>\n

This is reinforced by gold-coloured stripes that start below the headlights and radiate out over the front wings towards the rear, before tapering off at the end of the door line.<\/p>\n

Sporting a similarly brilliant gold finish are the EB logo on the rear of the vehicle and the hub covers on the black rims, which also bear the initials of the company\u2019s founder, Ettore Bugatti, in black. And let\u2019s not forget the tank and oil caps, which have been engraved with the \u201cBlack Bess\u201d nameplate and elegantly finished with gold paint.<\/p>\n

Interior<\/h3>\n

The interior of the \u201cBlack Bess\u201d Legend Vitesse has been fully upholstered using the finest leather. The headliner, footwell, seats, elongated centre console and rear bulkhead are bedecked in a light \u201cBeige\u201d tone, with the dashboard, dash panel, door trim panel and cowl panel offering a discreet contrast in \u201dHavanna\u201d.<\/p>\n

Clad in red \u201cCrimson\u201d leather, the steering wheel rim draws a clear reference to the historic Type 18 \u201cBlack Bess\u201d.<\/p>\n

This accent has also been picked up and continued in the red decorative stitching on the outer bolsters of the seats and in the seat belts.<\/p>\n

Door Panels<\/h3>\n

The door panels are without doubt one of the car\u2019s most impressive details.<\/p>\n

This is actually one of the most daring projects in the design of the vehicle\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n

Both panels are upholstered in \u201cHavanna\u201d leather and bear scenes which depict the historic Type 18 \u201cBlack Bess\u201d as well as Roland Garros\u2019 airplane, a Morane Saulnier Type H.<\/p>\n

These sketches have been hand-painted directly onto the leather \u2013 just as the components in luxury vehicles were hand-painted in the early 1920s.<\/p>\n

In order to protect the images from abrasion and environmental impacts, both a special new ink and a new impregnation process have been developed. Never in the field of automobile manufacturing have traditional details been implemented so perfectly whilst also upholding the demands placed on quality by modern production standards.<\/p>\n

This reconfirms Bugatti\u2019s strength in innovation. And it is coupled with a strong focus on individuality, as none of the six door panels in the three Legend vehicles is identical.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
