Bugatti Veyron Fbg par HERMES (From Bugatti’s Official Site)
Collaboration on the highest level
Designer Gabrielle Pezzini came up with the idea of further refining the automotive showpiece, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, with styling by the renowned Paris fashion house Hermes. This makes the Veyron 16.4 even more exceptional.
Sense of style and technical perfection
With the elaborate refinement of the Bugatti Beyron 16.4 Fbg par Hermes, the ambitions and Ettore Bugatti flow together in one product that testifies equally to aesthetic and to technical maturation. The fashion house’s sense of style has been successfully united with the design language and technical perfection of the automobile brand.
Purism And Manufacturer Quality
Almost the entire interior of the Bugatti Beyron 16.4 Fbg par Hermes was produced in Hermes’ workshops. Hermes selected the leather, which meets the highest standards and was processed solely by hand. The language of Hermes is found even in the smallest details, while remaining committed to the purism of earlier Bugattis and the design principles of Hermes.
An uncompromising product of a perfect synthesis of the arts
In the Bugatti Beyron 16.4 Fbg par Hermes, innovative automobile technology and haute couture fuse in “an uncompromising product of a perfect synthesis of the arts” of the highest language of style and form. It is executed exclusively by hand and requires a month of production time. It characterizes its owner as an aficionado of technically demanding and aesthetically uncompromising solutions.
Safe Bugatti For The Exquisitely Paranoid
Though I possess no property of significant enough value to store behind lock and key, I’m sure there are those among you who require a secure storage space for your bits and baubles that appraise for more than the cost of my college education. For you we offer the Safe Bugatti by Stockinger.
The Safe Bugatti is one of the very few products co-branded with the Bugatti name, and it was developed to coincide with the launch of the very valuable Bugatti Veyron. The safe can swallow enough bonds and cash to fill 83 liters of space and its exterior dimensions measure 126.1 cm x 66.4 cm x 64.2 cm, which makes it small enough for home installation. It can also be outfitted with such niceties as a seismic detector, noise sensor, GPS signal and a 4-way ground anchorage device with breakaway alarm. The all-iron body is finished in a high gloss varnish while the interior is swathed in luxurious leather.
While the price for the Bugatti Safe isn’t mentioned on Stockinger’s website, we’re guessing it costs enough to warrant another safe in which to store it, as well.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse
Fastest roadster ever. That’s one heck of a claim, but if anyone can assert it, it’s Bugatti. And the Alsatian automaker has brought 1,200 horsepower to back it up.
What we’re talking about, of course, is the Vitesse – the “best of both worlds” version of the famed Veyron. First announced in February and officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse (as it’s known in full) has just had its full details released along with a fresh batch of rather fetching high-resolution images, which we’ve included in our gallery for your viewing pleasure.
So what are we looking at here, exactly? In short, a Grand Sport (that’s the targa-topped model) with the engine from the Super Sport (the record-holding top-speed model). That means a quad-turbo W-16 engine with 1,200 horsepower, good for a 255 mph top speed with the wind in your hair.
That, for comparison’s sake, is incrementally faster than the 253 mph top end of the “base” Veyron, yet slower than the 267 mph of the Super Sport with the same engine and a fixed roof. Crucially, however, it’s faster than the 229 mph top end of the 1,001hp Veyron Grand Sport roadster. Want to know more? There’s plenty to digest in the full press release and spec sheet after the jump.
World premiere of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse
Bugatti presents most powerful roadster ever at Geneva Motor Show
Following the success of the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Bugatti did not have to wait long before it received the first inquiries about an open-top version of the Grand Sport that could also deliver 882 kW (1,200 hp). “We were instantly electrified by the idea of transferring the power of the Super Sport to the Grand Sport, which previously delivered a maximum of 1,001 hp, and thus taking the roadster to a new level,” says Wolfgang Dürheimer. The President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. continues: “Our team has managed to transfer the world’s most powerful car engine to the open-top sports car while taking all vehicle dynamics and aerodynamic parameters into consideration. We are proud to present the fastest roadster ever at the Geneva Motor Show with the world premiere of the 1.200 hp Grand Sport Vitesse.”
Dynamics in figures.
The new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse boasts a remarkable maximum torque of 1,500 Nm (at 3,000-5,000 rpm) from the 7.9-litre capacity of its W16 engine. The maximum output (1.200 hp) is reached at 6.400 rpm. These figures allow the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standing in unbelievable 2.6 seconds. The top speed of 410 km/h (255 mph) makes the four-wheel drive (like all Veyrons) Grand Sport Vitesse the fastest production roadster ever. The maximum speed is reached on closed tracks with special safety precautions. In “normal” handling mode, the Grand Sport Vitesse is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph).
Optimized drive system.
The 199 hp increase over the Grand Sport has been mainly achieved by using four larger turbochargers with new intercoolers. Furthermore, Bugatti has extensively reinforced all drivetrain components in order to safely transfer the immense forces at all times. The gearing of the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) in particular has been adapted to the new requirements. In this context, as on the Super Sport, Bugatti has also modified the air ducting in the area of the drivetrain. As a consequence of the larger turbochargers and the overall reduced back pressure, it was even possible to reduce the fuel consumption slightly despite the increased output. The fuel system, with a four-pump tank, has been taken from the Super Sport.
Chassis.
In order to put the unrivalled power onto the road absolutely safely and masterfully, the engineers have reconfigured the chassis of the Vitesse. Thanks to the quick-responding dampers that have been adapted from motor racing, the control of the vehicle has been further improved and perfectly balanced. Body roll and pitching during hard acceleration and braking are now virtually imperceptible. Optimised wheel-load fluctuations have further reduced understeer and allow a maximum level of active safety. In addition to the incomparable lateral acceleration of up to 1.4 g, the precise interaction of the tires (on all-new, lighter 20-inch “Vitesse”-type alloy wheels), together with the intelligent all-wheel drive system, ensures extremely good handling. The chassis, all-wheel-drive system and the revised ESP form a dynamic alliance: since the reconfigured ESP kicks in slightly later, for example when you accelerate out of corners, the Grand Sport Vitesse also provides a more dynamic performance in these situations. It goes without saying that Bugatti has adapted the brake-cooling system to account for the even higher engine output. The brakes, which are unparalleled in terms of stability and performance, now have additional and larger air intakes.
In general, it can be said that the Grand Sport Vitesse is even sportier than the 1,001 hp Grand Sport, but at the same time it has not been turned into a full-blown racing car. It therefore remains easy to master for the driver. In this context, it is simply astounding that Bugatti managed to increase comfort in the chassis area by reducing the dynamic natural frequency.
Body.
Bugatti has developed a new roof spoiler for the Grand Sport Vitesse that significantly reduces wind noise and buffeting in the interior. Furthermore, there will be a new windbreak for the roadster that can be stored away compactly in the luggage compartment when not in use. Both details will also be available for the Grand Sport. Together, they allow extremely relaxed, open-top driving even at speeds of around 200 km/h (124 mph).
Numerous aerodynamic measures at the front and rear that appeared on the Super Sport have been adapted for the Grand Sport Vitesse. The front end is therefore characterized by larger air intakes; the two central air intakes to the left and right of the Bugatti radiator grille are divided horizontally by a bar. The bottom air vent stretches sideways into the wheel housing and gives this exceptional sports car an extremely masterful appearance. Immediately below this air intake, you will see a new, visually refined front spoiler that has been designed in a similar way to the splitters used in motor racing. The improved xenon headlights from the Super Sport, which are now framed in black, are also new. The rear end, which is also derived from the Super Sport, is characterised by a double diffusor and a centrally positioned twin tailpipe. A new Park Distance Control system (PDC) watches over the front and the rear.
The two air scoops on the left and right of the engine cover (redesigned for the Vitesse) are a
characteristic of the Grand Sport and thus also of the Grand Sport Vitesse. These air scoops fulfil two tasks on the roadster. On the one hand, they pull in air for the engine, and on the other, they are an elegantly integrated part of the anti-roll protection system. As on the Super Sport, a full-carbon-fibre monocoque, which allows an extremely high torsional rigidity combined with maximum passive safety, is also used on the Grand Sport Vitesse. The outer skin is also made completely from carbon fibre and, consequently, the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is available in clear-coated visible carbon.
Interior.
Carbon fibre is (along with stainless metals such as Aluminium and Magnesium) also the dominant material in the interior of the Grand Sport Vitesse. Numerous interior parts are now made from carbon fibre in the 1,200 hp roadster. This includes the centre console extension, a cover with EB logo in the rear-bulkhead leather trim (between the seat backrests) and the belt outlet covers on the seats. The décor on the centre console, the door inserts and the adjoining trim on the instrument panel are also made from carbon fibre. The bicolor black trim parts are also new in the Grand Sport version, and so is a special seat design for the Grand Sport Vitesse. The two-tone leather seat covers are enhanced by contrasting stitching between the seat base and the side sections. Contrasting stitching is also featured on the leather armrest between the seats, which comes without the typical quilting. Also new: knee pads in the centre tunnel area, an additional 12 V socket (in the glove compartment), the restraint systems, the illuminated start and parking lock button (same as Super Sport), an instrument cluster with shift-up information and – as a matter of honour – the power gauge that now goes up to 1,200 hp!
Configuration of the show vehicles.
There is no end to the individualisation options for the Bugatti. Each one of the 350 Veyrons built is therefore unique. This also applies to the two Grand Sport Vitesse models that Bugatti is exhibiting at the 2012 Geneva International Motor Show. The blue version of the new roadster is finished in visible carbon fibre. The upper area of the body is finished in “Blue Carbon” while the roof area and air scoops are “Lake Blue”. The lower body panels (side skirting, front spoiler, radiator grill frame and rear apron with diffusor), the inner surfaces of the wheel rims and the underside of the automatically extending rear spoiler are in “Light Blue Sport”, which has a hint of turquoise. The exterior colours are picked up again in the interior. While the large surfaces feature dark blue tones, “New Light Blue” is used for the contrasting stitching and the Vitesse labelling on the seats. This Vitesse
version costs 1.91 million euros.
The second Grand Sport Vitesse is painted in dark “Jet Grey”. Instead of two colours, this model uses an interaction between shiny areas (lids, roof and air scoop) and matte surfaces and elements (side parts, exterior mirrors and door handles). The radiator grill and wheel rims have been painted black. The orange underside of the rear wing matches the “Tangerine” colouring that Bugatti has used, for example, for the seats, the carpets, the underside of dashboard, the door edging, the contrasting stitching and the Vitesse labelling in the interior. All other surfaces, including the carbon parts, are black. In both cases, the aggressive, dynamic look of the vehicles fits in with the positioning of the new Grand Sport Vitesse. Its price is 1.75 million euros.
The classic Grand Sport, a sports car with an elegant, artistic orientation, will, of course, remain in the range. Following the success of the L’Or Blanc (created in cooperation with Berlin-based porcelain makers Königlichen Porzellan-Manufaktur), Bugatti is currently working on further unusual ways to individualize the Grand Sport. In Geneva, the world’s most exclusive car manufacturer is presenting a version of the roadster in visible carbon fibre in a brownish finish for the first time. One challenge for the production is to give the visible carbon a transparent gleam while allowing the colour to radiate vibrantly in a certain light. On the Grand Sport presented in Geneva, the carbon parts made in the new colour “Brown” (lids, rear end, front spoiler and side skirting) shimmer in an almost bronze shade depending on how the light falls. To create a contrast, the side parts on this Grand Sport, right up to the rear air intakes, are made from polished aluminium. The interior of the sports car, with “Gaucho” coloured leather and dark stitching (colour “Coffee”), complements the exterior. It costs 1.79 million euros.

Just How Fast Is The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport? – Top Gear, November 2010
The Technical Bit
1. Aerodynamic drag
This is the real foe. It rises proportional to the square of the speed. But from the engine’s point of view, things look even more miserable than that. Aerodynamic drag is a force. Power can be expressed as force times speed. So the power required to overcome drag at any steady speed is proportional to drag times speed. Power required rises with the cube of speed. A given proportion of extra power buys only its cube-root ratio of extra speed.
A ‘regular’ Veyron absorbs 1.000 horsepower to do 409kph, even in hunkered-down, low-wing, ‘top speed’ configuration. The new SS has 1.200hp, a ratio of 12 times as much power. The cube root of that power ratio is 1.063. And 409kph times 1.063 is 435kph. So we seem to have power in hand.
But wait. Original Veyrons actually had about 1.30 horses. The company wanted to be able to claim “at least 1.001″ whether in German PS or American SAE horsepower. It seems we don’t have an extra 200hp to spend, so speed gain wouldn’t be 28kph.
But then things get harder again, because the cooling for that extra power exacts its own aerodynamic penalty.
2. Cooling
With ‘up to’ 200hp extra, the quantity of new heat the radiators have to cope with is considerable. A Veyron has 10 radiators in all. There are two aircon radiators, one for the transmission oil, one for the diff oil, and one for the engine oil. Then the engine cooling has four rads, and these will need to pass more air as the more powerful engine works harder. Finally, the intercoolers have a bigger radiator to cool the extra intake air.
Compared with the original Veyron, the Super Sport’s body has optimized holes in it, so it’s easier to pass cooling air through. But more cooling air is needed, so overall drag hasn’t changed much. The frontal area is lower because the over-roof scoops have gone. If it wasn’t for this slightly lower drag figure, most of out projected top speed increase would probably have been eaten away by the need to provide cooling for the horses Bugatti had employed to push the speed up in the first place.
3. Engine
The ‘new’ engine isn’t greatly changed. The W16 was so mighty before, it’s strong enough to take the extra boost from the four larger turbos and bigger intercooler. At full chat, it burns nearly a bucketful of fuel (7.73 liters) per minute. So it’s not one for an eco-driver.
4. Braking
Kinetic energy rises with mass and with the square of speed. So the Veyron SS at top whack carries at least 12 times the kinetic energy of your one-ton supermini at 160kph. Braking from 417kph to zero means most of that energy has to be dissipated by heat in the breakes. But not all of it: When the Bugatti’s airbrake swings up, it alone is enough to provide 0.7g of braking. Its effect rapidly diminishes as speed drops, But at least its presence, plus the fact the SS is 50kg lighter than the original, means the brakes didn’t need modification. Impressive.
5. Tires
They are the same as a Veyron’s and protecting them from overheating is the real reason the SS has a speed limiter at 415kph, which James broke for a moment. With the limiter off, Bugatti’s factory driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel has taken the SS to 431kph (which agrees with our calculations above). The job the tires have to do-speed and load-is so far beyond what an ordinary tire must bear that perhaps we oughtn’t be suprised by the price: more than £20.000 (P1.4 million) a set.
Bugatti Veyron L’Or Blanc (Luxury Auto – Volume 5, Issue 30)
With the partnership between Bugatti and the Königliche Porzellan-Manufatur Berlin (KPM) the renowned manufacturer emphasizes the ability in creating pieces of automotive art. The “L’Or Blacn” celebrates its world premiere with an exclusive unveiling ceremony on June 30, 2011 at the KPM workshops in Berlin. This unique version of a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is the world’s first motor car to wear the finest porcelain on its body, as well as in its cabin. It captivates with an abstract exterior design.
The security officer nods, the door opens. Amidst pure white walls bright spotlights illuminate a Bugatti Grand Sport that is placed in the center of the spacious room. We have entered the hidden world of the Bugatti Design Studio. The team ground Bugatti’s Head of Design Achim Anscheidt works in a quiet and focused atmosphere as they walk around their latest object of desire. Several times they stop, take a step to the left and to the right, they bend down and up again, looking intensely at the Grand Sport from different angles. They analyse the reflections of light on the car’s body before they step back for a moment to get an overall impression of their work. Thin blue lines flow over the bright white exterior of the fastest convertible in the world. It feels like visiting the atelier of an American pop-art artist.
The creation bears the name “L’Or Blanc.” It represents an automobile that redefines the art of design. If you look at it through the eyes of a designer, you will recognize that it is the reflection of the studio lights on the body that attracts their interest. Positioned beneath a special light, the car is set in an ideal environment that provides an excellent image of the reflections. The studio light is reflected on the invisible edges between the body shapes of the Grand Sport. In numerous stages each reflection line is translated by Bugatti’s designers onto the car body that has been pre-painted in a vibrant white tone.
They use precision tape made of Japanese soft tissue that can be easily torn off by hand. It adheres perfectly to sulphucontaining plasticine. By stretching them to a certain degree, these tapes are “lined” in pieces up to five meters long across the whole exterior of the car. If the line does not fully meet the intention of the designers, they place a correction tape above the original line. This process in repeated until the final line has the right tension and character. Over the course of several weeks, the team of designers develop the final composition of dynamic bends and delicate lines that run over the automotive piece of art like the serpentines of the Italian Stelvio Pass.
In the next step, Bugatti’s paint specialists dedicate themselves to the further completion of the masterpiece. Over the course of three weeks, each millimeter of the marked lines are being filled by hand with the characteristic blue color. In addition, the whole body receives five layers of clear lacquer. While the blue lines dominate over the white spaces in the lower section of the convertible, the relation of colors inverts on the way to the roof so that the intense white appears even stronger. Twelve elements, made of finest porcelain at the Berlin based manufactory, complete the aesthetic approach of this special Grand Sport.
Let us change the location and visit the workshops of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur in the heart of Berlin. Following a tradition of around 250 years, at this location more than 170 craftsmen and specialists produce precious items, as today’s expression of porcelain art. Hand-made plaster moulds are needed to craft the unique porcelain elements that appear in the exterior and interior of the “L’Or Blanc”, and with a tremendous attention to detail, each mould is created and optimized in a several-week-long process at the research and development department.
As part of the exterior design, porcelain is used for the inlays of the centre wheel badges, the fuel filler cap and the oil filler cap as well as the signature “EB” badge at the rear. Their shiny white surface blends in with the brilliant bright finish of the paint suggesting that the car would be coated with a thin layer of porcelain, too.
Besides the signed porcelain inlays on the sides of the centre console, an intarsia made of finest porcelain is fixed to the rear panel between the seats. Embedded in the top of the centre console, there is a fine porcelain dish with edges finished in an exclusive diamond polishing. The precious dish can be removed and is part of a picnic set that was exclusively designed by KPM for the Bugatti car.
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport “L’Or Blanc” presented in Berlin, is a one-of-a-kind creation. Nevertheless, the partnership is supposed to be continued, and Bugatti’s designers received a lot of inspiration from porcelain painting offering a variety of new opportunities for the design.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – WORLD RECORD EDITION (From Bugatti’s Official Site)
WORLD RECORD EDITION
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport achieved a new land speed world record for production series cars, on the proving grounds of the Volkswagen Group at Ehra-Lessien. In the Presence of the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV) and a representative of The Guinness Book of Records the Super Sport achieved an average top speed of 431 km/h *). Paying tribute to this event Bugatti will start the new Super Sport series with a special limited edition of 5 cars, the so-called World Record Edition!
EXTERIOR
This special series has the same configuration as the land speed world record car: the distinctive exterior is characterized by a bicolour horizontal split in black visible carbomn and Arancio orange. The eye-catching Arancio repeats itself in the new air intakes on the roof. Their surroundings, the tank caps, the door handles as well as the roof rails glimmer in silk matt Ebony Pearl. The dichroism of visible carbon and Arancio is exclusively reserved for the World Record Edition. A further attribute of this edition: all five cars carry a black Bugatti logo with silver letters made of massive sterling silver on the radiator grill instead of the traditional red Macaron.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – Design (From Bugatti’s Official Site)
Dynamic Exterior
Every detail of this car, and not just its use of advanced motor sport technology, harks back to the pioneering spirit of company founder Ettore Bugatti.
This brilliant designer came from a family of artists, and his philosophy was always to combine mechanical perfection and exterior beauty. This ethos remains alive and well at the company, and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport*) is wholly unmistakeable, with every external modification serving to coax greater performance from the car.
The Super Sport’s flat, elongated silhouette is immediately recognisable. The 16-cylinder engine gets its air from two NACA ducts set into the roof, rather than from scoops above the engine. The front air intakes have been expanded and reshaped, with the lower one extending elegantly around the sides to the wheel arch. The revised back looks sportier due to the double diffuser and a centrally arranged exhaust system.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – Technology (From Bugatti’s Official Site)
The climax of the Veyron series: The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport
Had a model been especially popular or highly successful in races, Ettore Bugatti’s customers often pushed the master to tease out of the engine a few horsepower more for their future car. Bugatti Automobiles SAS had been in a similar situation when their existing customers asked the company to not only design their second model optically differently but also to create a version with a sportier and more extreme driving experience. The result is a car with a uniquely high performance of 882 kW (1.200 bhp) offering experienced drivers a whole new dimension of excitement, with a maximum torque of 1.500 Newton metres and a limited top speed of 415 km/h (to protect the tyres).
The Super Sport*) is a consequent further development of the classic exclusive 736 kW (1.001 bhp) Bugatti Veyron 16.4, launched in 2005. This model offers a stunning set of specifications, such as the twin clutch gearbox with seven speeds, the extraordinarily precise driving performance in bends and excellent stability when braking and accelerating.
Continuous work in extreme performance ranges lead to constantly new conclusions, which enabled the engineers at Bugatti to develop the Veyron into a direction in which the driver can reach new dimensions. Every modification is designed to produce an even more powerful car for an agile ride. Four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers have been used to boost the power of the 16-cylinder engine, and the chassis has been extensively redesigned to maintain safety at extreme speed. Thanks to slightly raised main-spring-rate, stronger stiffer Anti-Roll-bars, and new shock absorbers with a complex architecture originally developed for racing cars. This gives noticeably more precise control of the wheels and the car as a whole. With lateral acceleration of up to 1.4 G and improved interaction between the tyres and the intelligent all-wheel drive system, the Super Sport offers perfect handling and even more powerful acceleration of 1.500 Newton metres on corner exits.
The body has been fine-tuned to improve aerodynamic efficiency and maintain perfect balance in every situation, while the new fibre structure of the all-carbon monocoque ensures maximum torsion rigidity and passive safety – at reduced weight. The skin is made entirely of carbon-fibre composites, and the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is available in 100 percent clear-lacquered exposed carbon on request.

Bugatti Grand Sport – Design, Roof (From Bugatti’s Official Site)
The transparent roof, one of the design masterstrokes in the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport
The New Dimension of Roadster Feeling
The transparent roof is one of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport’s*) masterstrokes.
It boasts a maximum area of tinted glass that lets in the sunlight without unwanted heat. To underscore the Grand Sport’s feeling of perfect harmony, the roof’s inside frame features full leather lining in the same colour as the car’s interior. The perfectly aligned roof is easily removed and stored on a special interior fixture.
An open roof transforms each ride into an even more memorable and striking experience
Driven with an open roof, the Grand Sport offers an unequalled experience and intensely immediate impressions of the surrounding landscape – right up to a recommended top speed of 360 km/h. An elegantly swept-back windscreen and a rear window with corresponding shape and size guarantee ideal visibility as well as turbulence-free airflow and characterize the Grand Sport’s roadster design.
The patented textile canopy, comparable in its functionality to an umbrella, is as ingenious and unique as it is innovative. Colour-coordinated with the car’s exterior, it enhances the Grand Sport’s elegant contours. This water-repellent accessory can be easily stored in the trunk. Light and convenient, it is quickly and single-handedly fixed into position, where it remains firmly and securely in place up to speeds of 130 km/h. An alarm announces possible turbulence problems if this speed is exceeded.
Bugatti Grand Sport – Design, Interior (From Bugatti’s Official Site)
The superbly crafted leather seats ensure extreme comfort even during long drives.
Exclusive Class, Precise Workmanship, and a Passion for Details
Ageless, elegant design, the finest high-quality materials, and exceptional crafting: these are the qualities that define the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport*)’s interior.
The maxim was to concentrate on the essentials – nothing in excess, nothing lacking. Each detail was designed with passion and precision and crafted meticulously and lovingly by hand.
A reduced aestheticism governs the design, including controls and displays.
Only soft, supple, full-grain napa leather of the highest quality was used for the Grand Sport. The careful treatment of this superb material maintains its natural breathability. The stitching of the seat covers represents an acceleration curve and was executed following the historical quilting method in a modern reinterpretation for automobile interiors. The moisture-repellent leather is yet another feature with which the Grand Sport meets the highest standards for an open-top sports car.
The result is minimal aesthetics at its most elegant, a harmonious balance of form and function. The interior brings this concept to life, allowing it to be experienced with all senses.
