To commemorate 100 years of the Bugatti nameplate, a new special edition Veyron will be offered for the not-so-low price of 1.35 million euros (â,¬1,350,000) — which converts to $1.69 million at today’s exchange rates. Bugatti has not specified how many units will be sold.
The automaker did, however, indicate that 200 Veyrons have been delivered to date, with another 50 on order. Bugatti has long said it will only build 300 standard Veyron coupes before production ends, so that means just 50 more cars can be ordered.
When production of the hardtop ends, car collectors and wealthy enthusiasts will have to turn to the open-air Veyron Grand Sport — limited to 150 units — for their Bugatti fix. So what sets the Bleu Centenaire apart from the normal Veyron? For one, there’s the two-tone blue paint scheme. The car is painted in “sprintblue matte” and “sprintblue gloss” to create a unique visual effect. The roof-trim-stripes and the exterior rearview mirrors are of polished, anodized aluminum.
A special wheel design is standard, enhanced by bright red brake calipers. The front grille and the side air intakes have a “mirror shine” finish. The interior of the Centenaire is fitted in a special “snowbeige” leather with quilting on the seats. The central console is covered in the same leather. New LED lights, Park Distance Control and a rearview camera have become part of the standard equipment for all Bugatti Veyrons from this year onward. The Bleu Centenaire shares all performance characteristics of other Veyron models.

Wow, the two-tone blue paint sounds amazing! 🎨
1.35 million euros? What a bargain! 😆
Can anyone tell me what “sprintblue matte” looks like?
Why only 300 units? Seems like a missed opportunity!
Those red brake calipers must look stunning against the blue.
Is the “snowbeige” leather really practical for a car like this?
Thanks for the info. Dream car for sure! 🚗💨
Do you think the price is justified for a special paint job?
