  • Les Legendes de Bugatti: Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess [VIDEO]

    bugatti-veyron-grand-sport-vitesse-black-bess-THUMBBugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess was officially unveiled two months ago and then exhibited for the first time in front of public at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show starting on 20th of April. This is fifth model of Bugatti’s “Legends” series, which (just like its siblings) is based on the powerful Grand Sport Vitesse and comes along unique styling upgrades. Now, Bugatti is launching a promo video which shows-off the great characteristics of the roadster. And I must confirm that after watching it I was really impressed.

    The Veyron Black Bess pays tribute to the Type 18 “Black Bess” – one of the first street-legal super sports cars. It was built in 1913 and was powered by a spectacular engine for that period of time. Precisely, the 5.0 liter four-cylinder powertrain was capable of developing 100 horsepower (73 kW) and achieved a maximum speed of 161 km/h (100 mph).

    The new Black Bess edition will be limited to only three examples. It has the price tag of $3 million US dollars like the other legends. Despite this, Bugatti has sold every single one of the previous four versions in the range.

    Veyron Black Bess edition is powered by a 6.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 engine, which produces nearly 1200 horsepower. What is specifically astounding about this special edition is the radiant black paint, the accents from pure gold, an of course the special interior treatment. Just watch the video below!

    Bugatti has unveiled another special edition of Veyron. Actually, this is the fifth edition part of Bugatti’s “Legends” series. It is based on the super powerful Grand Sport Vitesse and comes with a number of unique styling upgrades.

    2014 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess is paying tribute to the Type 18 “Black Bess”, which the manufacturer describes as one of the first street-legal super sports cars. The Type 18 “Black Bess” was powered by a 5.0 liter four-cylinder engine with 100HP (73 kW) and achieved a top speed of 161 km/h (100 mph), which was incredible considering the year – 1913.

    To be sensational nowadays, you need a really spectacular engine and power like twelve times more than 1913.

    Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is powered by an 8.0 liter W16 quad-turbo engin – 1200HP (883 kW) and 1500Nm (1106 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is connected to a 7-speed DSG gearbox. 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.1 seconds, 0-300 km/h in 16 seconds. The top speed is 410 km/h (254 mph).  ¼ mile is covered in 10.0 seconds flat and 1 mile in just 25.0 seconds. Other interesting disciplines like 0-100-0 km/h take 5.9 seconds and 0-200-0 take 12.9 seconds. The interesting 0-300-0, which is brutal for the brakes take 23.9 seconds.

    Bugatti will exhibit the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show starting on April 20th.
