(from Bugatti Press
Release) A new Bugatti piece of art for Pebble Beach
The Sang Bleu to honour the
100th anniversary of the marque
Carmel, California, 14th
August 2009. Continuing this years 100th anniversary celebrations
Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has chosen the prestigious Pebble Beach
weekend to present a further
highlight to pay tribute to this legendary brand : The company
proudly unveils the Bugatti
Sang Bleu - an exclusive, one-off Grand Sport, honouring the
marques precious heritage.
Innovation and Harmony
The Sang Bleu has
ventured into new areas. Instead of applying two paint colours or
paint and
material to highlight the two tone design the Sang Bleu
exclusively concentrates on materials - carbon fibre and aluminum -
an innovative combination never realised before. This unique
approach opens a new dimension of Art Forme Technique , the
companys core values.
The colour combination
commissioned for the Pebble Beach car is blue carbon fibre with
polished aluminum. The visual carbon fibre is tinted in royal blue
to emphasize the refined volumes and
surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. The rear airscoops are
tinted in the same nightblue
offering a dramatic view from above and thus fluidly integrate
into the overall design philosophy
of this unique model.
The rims are inspired by
the Grand Sport Roadster and are highlighted in a Midnight Blue and
Diamond Cut two tone finish. The interior, specially and tastefully
selcted for the Pebble Beach event, is trimmed in a newly developed
Gaucho leather which blends with the intriguing and pure exterior
materials creating an elegant and harmonious overall appearance.
Featured Marque
In the year of its100th
anniversary Bugatti has been selected to be one of the featured
marques at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours dElegance. Ettore Bugatti
started his business in the Alsacian town of Molsheim in 1909. The
name of the company: Ettore Bugatti Automobiles i. Els.. In 1956
the company ceased its activities. Exactly 50 years later, in March
2006, the first Bugatti Veyron built by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
was delivered after the Volkswagen Group had aquired the rights of
the Bugatti marque in 1998 and started the re-launch of this famous
brand. To date over 250 of the planned Bugatti Veyrons are sold, 215
of them have been delivered to customers worldwide. In June 2009
Bugatti started production of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, the
open roadster. The sales results are encouraging over 20 Grand
Sports have been sold, with first deliveries already started.
The Bugatti Sang Bleu
is the latest in a line of centenary Bugatti models which have won
worldwide acclaim in 2009. This unique car stands like the others
- for the commitment of the Bugatti of today to carry the values and
the philosophy of Ettore Bugatti, the founder of this unique marque,
into a successful future.
