2013 Bugatti 16\/4 Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse \u2018Meo Costantini\u2019<\/h1>\n

Molsheim \/ Dubai, 5 November 2013. Bugatti is presenting the third model in its six-part edition \u201cLes L\u00e9gendes de Bugatti\u201d at this year\u2019s Dubai International Motor Show (November 5\u20139). This Legend car, which like all cars in the series is based on the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, pays homage to Meo Costantini. Costantini was a close friend of the company\u2019s founder, Ettore Bugatti. He was the head of Bugatti\u2019s factory race team for many years and was also a driver, winning the Targa Florio two times in the Bugatti Type 35, one of the most successful racing cars of all time. The Legend Edition \u201cMeo Costantini\u201d is priced at \u20ac2.09 million, excluding taxes and transport. As with all Bugatti Legend cars, the production run is limited to only three vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMeo Costantini embodies the most successful era in Bugatti\u2019s racing history,\u201d says Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. \u201cEttore Bugatti\u2019s vehicles from the 1920s stand for light-weight construction and technical aesthetics. When Bugatti created the Type 35, he inspired one of the most successful racing cars of all time. The Vitesse \u2018Meo Costantini\u2019 is reminiscent of the Type 35.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartolomeo \u201cMeo\u201d Costantini, born in 1889, was the head of Bugatti\u2019s racing team for eight years. He developed an interest in racing cars and began racing at an early age. It was after the First World War that he first came into contact with the Bugatti brand, when he was involved in modifying a Bugatti Type 13. This is the car that Meo would drive during his first races in 1920-21. It was through these races that Ettore Bugatti first became aware of the young Italian\u2019s talents, and he invited him to Molsheim in 1923. The two developed a close bond, and Costantini worked for Bugatti as a racing driver and advisor from that time on. As a member of the factory team in 1925 and 1926, he won the most famous and important race in its time, the Targa Florio in Sicily. In 1926, he also drove to victory at the Spanish Grand Prix and the Grand Prix of Milan, and took second place in Monza. Shortly afterwards he ended his active racing career in order to manage the Bugatti racing team, a post which he held from 1927 until 1935. Costantini stayed at Bugatti until 1937.<\/p>\n

Bugatti Legend Car<\/h2>\n

The series of Bugatti Legend cars, \u201cLes L\u00e9gendes de Bugatti\u201d, was launched in August at California\u2019s Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance with the Vitesse \u201cJean-Pierre Wimille\u201d. This was followed by the Legend car, \u201cJean Bugatti\u201d, which was presented at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt. Now, the third Legend Edition, dedicated to Meo Costantini, will be revealed to the public for the first time in Dubai.<\/p>\n

The car is based on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. Its 8-liter W16 engine achieves an unparalleled torque of 1,500 Nm from 1,200 hp at 3,000\u20135,000 rpm, and can accelerate from 0\u2013100 km (0 to 62 MPH) in 2.6 seconds. The Vitesse was driven to a top speed of 408.84 km (253 MPH) with the roof down in April 2013, making it the fastest production roadster ever built.<\/p>\n

Exterior<\/h2>\n

The body of the Vitesse Legend \u201cMeo Costantini\u201d is primarily constructed of carbon fiber. The wings, doors, the parts behind the doors, the \u201cmedaillons\u201d (French) and corners of the front bumper are rendered in aluminium. The blue paintwork on the carbon fiber parts references France\u2019s classic motor sport color, as well as the Type 35. The new paint color \u201cBugatti Dark Blue Sport\u201d has been specially developed for the vehicle. The aluminium parts are hand-polished and coated with clear lacquer. Bugatti is the only production manufacturer to offer polished clear-coated aluminium bodywork. Another special feature of this car is that individual parts have two different paint finishes. This requires great skill, and is particularly impressive to see on the wings, which are finished in both clear lacquer and blue paint.<\/p>\n

As a reference to Costantini\u2019s victory at Targa Florio, the silhouette of the historic race course is painted on the underside of the rear wing (air-brake) in \u201cBugatti Dark Blue Sport.\u201d Another feature that pays tribute to the illustrious racing driver is his signature, which is laser engraved into the aluminium tank and oil caps and painted in silver.<\/p>\n

Interior. The interior of the Legend Vitesse \u201cMeo Costantini\u201d is completely upholstered in leather. The roof, footwell, center sections of the seats and rear wall are all in the color \u201cGaucho\u201d, a sophisticated cognac tone. The seat\u2019s side cushions, arm rests, extended center console, door panels, dash panel, instrument panel and steering wheel are all trimmed in dark blue leather in the \u201cLake Blue\u201d color. The decorative stitching in contrasting light blue (\u201cBugatti Light Blue Sport\u201d) lends an expressive touch.<\/p>\n

A brief glance into the interior makes it immediately clear to whom the car is dedicated. The head restraints are embroidered with Meo Costantini\u2019s signature in \u201cBugatti Light Blue Sport,\u201dwhilst the cover of the rear center box features the eye-catching silhouette of the Targa Florio race route. The silhouette is portrayed in a milled and polished aluminium relief that has been attached directly below the EB logo on the cover, itself crafted from dark blue clear-coated carbon fiber.<\/p>\n

A special highlight of the interior is the racing scenes and vintage car motifs on the doors, which have been laser-engraved into the leather trim with the utmost precision and attention to detail. These images illustrate the most glorious moments of Meo Costantini\u2019s racing career and the exciting world of motor racing in the 1920s. The interior trim of the door pockets and door handle recesses in \u201cBugatti Light Blue Sport\u201d adds a dash of color.<\/p>\n

The Vitesse Legend \u201cMeo Costantini\u201d also shares several features with the other Legend cars in the Edition, including the inlay in the extended section of the center console, crafted of clear-coated carbon fiber and sporting the Legend logo with the famous Bugatti elephant, and the door sill strips displaying the likeness and signature of Meo Costantini.<\/p>\n
