One to Buy: 2700km Chocolate Brown 2012 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (SOLD)
Five years after Bugatti started production of their record-breaking Veyron, the Molsheim firm introduced a third variant to accompany the original fixed-head iteration and open-top Grand Sport.
Unveiled at The Quail in Monterey during August 2010, the new Veyron Super Sport boasted an even more powerful engine, stiffer suspension, improved aero and uprated cooling solutions.
48 Super Sports were built between 2010 and 2014 and today this limited run are generally considered the ultimate expression of the Veyron theme owing in part to a 268mph run at Ehra-Lessien a month before it was unveiled.
Currently on offer at the Joe Macari showroom in central London is number 38 of the 48 Supoer Sports constructed.
Completed in 2012, chassis 38 was configured in the unusual colour scheme of Chocolate Brown with Black trim accents and a two-tone Cognac over Brown cockpit.
Originally delivered to Switzerland (one of six), chassis 38 has covered just 2700km from new and will be sold with a fresh service from Bugatti.
Reprinted below is Joe Macari’s description for this spectacular low mileage Veyron:
Upping the ante over the original Veyron 16.4, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport proved that Bugatti could achieve what many thought to be unachievable and then raise their own bar. Offering 1,200 horsepower and 1,500 Newton metres of torque, it was capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, arriving at 300 km/h in 16.6 seconds and achieving an electronically limited top speed of 413 km/h.
In order to add an additional 199 horsepower to the standard Veyron’s already incredible power output of 1,001, two additional fuel pumps, as well as four larger turbochargers and air coolers, were fitted. Additionally, the car benefitted from improved aerodynamics, which helped to increase its stability at high speeds and increase airflow to the engine and brakes.
Of the forty-eight Veyron Super Sports built, the example we are pleased to offer for sale is chassis number 38 and the sixth delivered to Switzerland. Any Veyron is truly a sight to behold, and this example is no exception with its striking exterior colour combination of Chocolate Brown with Black trim accents. The interior is finished in a stunning Cognac leather with Brown leather door panels and upper dashboard. This car is also one of just a small handful specified from new with comfort seats, only adding to the Veyron’s immense continent crossing capabilities.
Having only been driven less than 2,700 km since leaving the assembly line in Molsheim, it is presented today in excellent condition throughout. The car will also be sold with a fresh service from Bugatti ensuring it is ready to be driven and enjoyed as its manufacturers intended.
As arguably the most impressive automobile built thus far into the 21st century, the Bugatti Veyron is the gold standard of modern supercars, and the Super Sport is perhaps the most desirable model, providing uncompromising performance and welcome upgrades over the original Veyron.
