2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport by Bernar Venet

The 2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport by Bernar Venet is an interpretation of the car by the French artist who is world famous. His conceptual style is on exhibit worldwide. The collaboration is a natural progression, one artiste to another.
Bernar expressed his passion for the supercar by designing a special edition that included detailed artwork for the front and inside of the supercar.

Engine
Bernar's Bugatti Veyron has an 8 liter W16 engine capable of generating 1200 HP with 1106 lbs ft of torque. The top speed has been limited to 255 MPH and it can go from 0 to 62 in just 2.6 seconds with the aid of the quad turbocharger system.
Performance
The Benet Veyron still has the same handling challenges. It can drive in a straight line no problem, but when it comes making the turns and sharp corners, the Bugatti tends to understeer. Due to its size and weight, the car does tents to stick to the road but steering at high speeds needs some improvement.
Exterior
Bernar Venet’s work on the Veyron was limited to a splashy artwork. The front of the car is painted in orange, fading into black. The transition is made of mathematical equations used by the engineering team during the design stage.
Interior
The inside matches the overall chromatic pallet of the exterior. The dashboard is covered with dark brown leather while the seats are lighter in color. On the left and right front doors, Bernar added custom artwork inspired by the same equations used on the exterior.

Despite the fact that the manufacturer only built one, the 2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport by Bernar Venet comes with visually appealing characteristics. Designed by an enthusiast, Bernar used the engineer's equations to make the artwork. Besides the inside and outside do have visual elements that make it a conversation starter, no other changes have been on this model in terms of its overall specifications.

a quick run through the upstairs racecars was all I had before the Mullin Museum closed, I'll be back to get better photos










For a much better gallery, because she doesn't take as long to photograph each car, see Justacargal's galleries http://justacargal.blogspot.com/search/label/Mullin%20Museum

1922 Bugatti type 23 Brescia






Bugatti among the pioneers in auto records, longest car, first production car to 100mph

Longest Wheelbase - Bugatti Royale 4.57 m (180 in)

the world’s first 100 mph production car

and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Type_49 credits the Type 43 of 1927-31

Baskin Robbins ice cream says "Burt Baskin owned a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, the world's first 100 mph passenger car" http://www.baskinrobbins.com/about/funfacts.aspx of course, the catch is that they call the Rolls a "Passenger" car, and not a "Production" car, of which the Bugatti is barely a production car, being hand built, race cars by design

And contending the record is a Gobron-Brillie
On July 21, 1904 in Ostend, Belgium Louis Rigolly stepped into his Gobron-Brillié ready to drive down the Ostend-Newport road.
This was no ordinary drive however, as Louis Rigolly pushed his 15-liter Gobron-Brillié  to an unheard of 103.56 MPH.

And who or what measured that speed in 1904 Belgium? Down to 2 decimal places even!

But that is backed up by http://glostransporthistory.visit-gloucestershire.co.uk/WLSR_Gloucestershire.html which details the date and engine size
