• The polished parts of this Veyron were made from a single 20-tonne aluminum block.
  • The owner spent more on options than the car’s original $2.5 million MSRP.
  • Bugatti initially rejected the buyer’s dream specifications, but he refused to take no for an answer.

The Bugatti Veyron is an all-time hypercar great and throughout its production run, a dizzying array of limited-edition models were introduced. However, not one of those special versions cost as much as this Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. This is the single most expensive Veyron ever built.

This Veyron is chassis 8100, and it has an incredible story. The car’s original owner loved the exclusive Veyron 16.4 Pur Sang and wanted a Grand Sport Vitesse similar but even more wondrous. The Pur Sang stood out thanks to its polished aluminum sides and carbon fiber center section. Unbeknownst to most, the aluminum parts used were welded together, and the front bumper, which appeared to be made from aluminum, was just painted to look like aluminum.

That wasn’t good enough for the individual who ordered this Grand Sport Vitesse. He wanted a Veyron bathed in aluminum parts milled from a single piece and not welded together. Bugatti’s engineers created a special CAD program and determined that 20 tonnes of aluminum would be required, making it far too expensive to build the car. The French carmaker informed the owner of this bad news and said a more practical version had to be built. The owner refused to budge.

According to Mechatronik, who has now been tasked with selling the car, the original owner was the only person on earth to order each of the six Grand Sport Vitesse ‘Legends’ series cars and several Veyron Super Sports. He threatened to cancel all orders if Bugatti didn’t build him the aluminum Vitesse he wanted. Bugatti caved and spent more time building this Veyron than any other.

While it’s unclear exactly how much the original owner paid, the cost of the options alone was higher than the Grand Sport Vitesse’s original MSRP of around $2.5 million.

Contrasting the polished aluminum body of the car is a bright red leather interior with black stitching and embroidered headrests that read ‘Kaq.’ Plenty of gloss carbon fiber is also found across the center console and transmission tunnel. One particularly interesting detail is the horseshoe grille with mesh that also spells out ‘Kaq.’

While the original owner spent an extraordinary amount on the car, it has only been driven 750 km (466 miles). No asking price has been publicized, but it’s probably beyond reach unless you have a 10-digit bank account.
