This Iridescent Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Could Fetch $3.2 Million at Auction

If you can’t bear to bide the short few weeks until Bugatti is set to unveil its next hypercar, you’re in luck. A striking example of one of its earlier models is about to go up for grabs.

RM Sotheby’s will auction off a striking 2014 Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse during its Cliveden House sales event in Berkshire, an hour’s drive from London, England, next week. The stylish speed machine is a fully loaded example of what was once the world’s fastest convertible.

Like every other Grand Sport Vitesse, this example is powered by a mid-mounted quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 that produces 1,167 hp and 1,100 ft lbs of torque. Thanks to all that power, the car can rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and to a top speed of 255 mph, which briefly made it the world’s fastest open-top production car (the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder beat its record in 2016). The example up for sale has had just two owners, who’ve put just 2,538 miles on the car over the past decade.

This Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is scheduled to cross the block on Wednesday, June 12. Unsurprisingly, considering its appearance and condition, RM Sotheby’s has quite high expectations for the vehicle, which it expects to sell for between $2.55 million and $3.2 million.
