Bugatti unveils Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu at Pebble Beach

To celebrate its 100th anniversaries this year, Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. unveiled the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance show. The Sang Bleu is very exclusive, since it's a one-off exercise honouring the marques precious heritage.

The model features the use of blue carbon fiber, with polished aluminum expanding along each front fender and door. The combination of carbon fibre and aluminum hasn’t been used before. Bugatti calls this approach a 'new dimension of « Art – Forme – Technique »', the company's core values statement.

The unique alloy wheels are inspired by the rims of the Grand Sport Roadster on which it's based, and highlight a Midnight Blue and Diamond Cut two-tone finish. Inside, to create an elegant and harmonious appearance, the vehicle gets a Pebble Beach-special design, with Gaucho leather trim accenting the exterior's materials.

Just as other Veryons, the Sang Bleu gets a potent 1,001-horsepower W-16 quad-turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive powetrain. It shares the rest of its technical specification with the Grand Sport on which it's based.
