Auto Car | 2008 Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron "Pur Sang" | Visitors to the Atelier in Molsheim are always intrigued to see the Bugatti Veyron's high-tech components being meticulously assembled into an automotive work of art. Watching the car coming together, coupled with an admiration for the technical beauty of its structure, gave the designers the idea of finishing the car in its pure material configuration - meaning no color coating. The result is the EB 16.4. Veyron "Pur Sang", a two-tone study of pure materialness showing the car's true essentials: carbon and aluminum.
The carbon monocoque holds the engine plus the passenger cell, while the polished aluminum panelling is enhanced by reflections in the sculpted bodywork. Interestingly, the rawness of the materials even more strongly highlights the dual character of this car: performance power coupled with cruising comfort, structure and body, dark and light.
A closer look at the details reveals the technical logic behind this stylistic appearance. The sophisticated monocoque contains all the core structural components, including the W16 engine, the passenger cell, the crash box and the linkages to the wheels. It is this purpose-driven fundament that is visible as the center of the car in clear-coated carbon fiber.
Equally consistent is the use of the aluminum paneling. This lends shape and a unique body sculpture to the car, covering the wheels in a muscular and powerful expression by way of elaborately shaped fenders. Highly polished, these perfectly tensioned shapes strongly visualize the fascinating surface reflections that define every Veyron.
The balanced graphic appearance is also visible when looking down onto the car from above. These qualities take on a distinct appearance - almost like that found in a Mondrian painting. As its pur sang label suggests, this individualized customer car shares the same kind of DNA as that of classic cars from the Bugatti past: the "Atalante", the Type 55, the Type 41 "Royal" all had an unmistakable and characteristic graphic signature. It is this precise division of performance components and body paneling - in this form - that makes the EB 16.4. Veyron "Pur Sang" unique in the supercar world.
Do you dream about cars that are somewhat exclusive? About one of the fastest cars on this planet? You don’t know what to do with your money? If you answered “yes” in all cases, we have something exactly for you. It’s the Bugatti Veyron. But not your typical Bugatti– it’s a special edition of only 5 cars! Its name is the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron Pur sang.
This is the limited edition that differs at the first sight from the ordinary version. It’s unique with its exterior, because it is almost impossible to improve the perfect interior and engine. The engineers have decided to build the whole chassis of only two materials – a special aluminum alloy and carbon fiber. This chassis is buffed to the highest gloss without any paintwork.
About the engine – nothing has changed, except thanks to aftermarket materials the car is now about 100kg lighter – now at 1888kg. So it’s about 1.88kg/hp in case of 1000hp under the hood.
The Bugatti engineers have built a car that can be more attractive than the “normal” Bugatti Veyron. And how you can own it? All 5 models were sold in the first 24 hours, so you’ll have to hope one of the lucky owners are deciding to sell it.
