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.

The smaller side windows at the front result in the car's two doors having more metal than normal, adding to the solid appearance of the vehicle.

Interior
The car is supplied with four bucket seats, each of which can be adjusted independently. This allows the driver and passengers to individually adjust their seats, and also provides different configurations for storage.
The seats are finished in white and gray trim, and each has built-in headrests. There are separate central consoles dividing both the front pair and the rear pair. Use of purple and blue coloring on various surfaces provides eye-catching contrast to the white and gray.
A graphic display built in to the fascia provides real time information to the driver. The car incorporates the newest developments in IT, providing full interconnectivity for modern smart devices.
