VEYRON GRAND SPORT
VENET (2012)
In collaboration with the French artist and
sculptor Bernar Venet, Bugatti produced another
one-of-a-kind, exceptional work of art that
combines hypnotizing exterior design with haute
couture-inspired interior design. Venet's love of
numbers inspired the rust-like color scheme. e
color gradient derived from the formula used to
calculate the power of the W16 engine and speed.
"Developing a car with a famous artist who is in
no way connected to car design can be a tricky
undertaking. With Bernar Venet, it was a creative
process from start to finish. It was fascinating and
impressive to be able to witness how he works and
how he creates large-scale sculptures. We worked
closely together, and ultimately created something
truly beyond compare," explains Achim Anscheidt.
e world first saw the Grand Sport Venet during
Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2012 as part
of the Rubell Family Collection. e fascinating
sports car is now part of a private collection.
