Bugatti has done it again. After the stunning failure of the Bugatti Royale, you can now spend a fortune on the Bugatti Veyron L’or Blanc.
The Veyron Grand Sport L’or Blanc uses carefully crafted porcelain on its striped finish, which has been designed to look like the pattern of a studio light reflecting on a shiny surface.
“At first, it seems to be an unusual idea to use porcelain in a car, especially in the world’s fastest convertible,” said Dr. Stefan Brungs, Bugatti sales and marketing director. “But this is what Bugatti stands for: the realization of exceptional ideas whilst striving for the utmost in quality and aesthetics.
The new Royale?
This allows us to continue Ettore Bugatti’s heritage, who himself loved to experiment with new materials.” (And while he was at it, bankrupted the company with the over the top, ill-timed Royale, a vehicle that no Royal family purchased.)
In true Royale fashion, there is a caviar dish that sits on the central rear console (Beluga, I hope). I would imagine that you can have titanium nose hair pluckers as a special order as well.
Of course, you still get the 8.0 liter, four turbo, W-16 cylinder engine with its 1001 horsepower and 1250 Nm of torque with (porcelain) shattering acceleration times of zero to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 407 km/h.
It is not all that economical with a claimed consumption of 41.9 L/100 km; but the average claimed fuel use is only 24.9 L/100 km.
However, if you can afford the $2.2 million, who cares about fuel economy?
