How to handle a Veyron, just get in and floor it!

            The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engine grand tourer produced by Bugatti headquarters in Château St Jean in Molsheim (Alsace, France), and whose production and development is often credited to Ferdinand Karl Piech. It is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti company. Two hundred examples of the Veyron are known to have been built and delivered since production began. There will be a total of 300 built. All the Veyron editions contribute to the 200 being built (stopped built in late 2008). The editions that are contributing are the Veyron, Veyron 16.4, Pur Sang, Hermes Edition, Sang Noir, Targa, Vincero, and the Bleu Centenaire. It will be replaced with the Grand Sport, which is essentially a Veyron Convertible.

Special Editions
Pur Sang
On 10 September 2007, a special version of the Veyron called the "Pur Sang" (French for "thoroughbred", literally "pure blood") was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The only difference from the standard Veyron is the body finishing: the Pur Sang has none, revealing the Veyron's pure aluminium-carbon fibre body. Production of the Pur Sang will be limited to five cars, which will have high-gloss aluminium wheels with a diamond cut finish.

Sang Noir
This version pays homage to the original Bugatti Atlantique 57S of the 1930s. Exterior styling combines an all-black colour palette - Sang Noir means "black blood" - with raw carbon-fiber panels, blacked-out headlamps, and aluminum trim for the grille surround and side mirrors. The production run was 15 vehicles. The interior is exclusively finished in bright orange.

Grand Sport
Bugatti announced the production of a targa top version, called Grand Sport. The car was unveiled at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 15, 2008, with production set to begin in spring 2009. The Grand Sport comes with small tweaks to the windshield and running lights, and two removable tops. The second is a temporary roof fashioned after an umbrella and inspired by pictures of classic Bugatti racers with umbrellas in hand. The Grand Sport can reach 407 km/h (253 mph) with the hardtop in place, the same top speed as the coupé version. With no roof the top speed is limited to 367 km/h (228 mph), and to 130 km/h (81 mph) with the temporary soft roof. The Grand Sport has extensive reinforcement beyond the standard Veyron, including carbon fiber doors, hoops, intake faces; carbon-fibre enclosed transmission tunnel.
The First Grand Sport (Code named Chassis 001) was sold at the 2008 Gooding & Company Pebble Beach Auction with a winning bid price of $2.9 million. Approximately $900,000 of the auction price went to charity. Production began in June 2009.

Bleu Centenaire
This version was a new edition created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bugatti brand. The entire body was painted blue, rather than the standard two-tone scheme. Instead, a combination of matte and gloss "Bugatti Blue" paint was used. The mid-section between the two wings on the hood was expanded, and a chrome strip up the middle was added. The car is also more expensive than the standard Veyron, costing in excess of £1,000,000.
The car was unveiled at 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

Linea Vincerò by Mansory
The high-end aftermarket tuning company revealed a tuned Veyron at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show. The quad turbocharged 8.0-liter 16 cylinder engine has been tuned to make 1109 HP and 1,310 N·m (966 lb·ft) of torque via modification to the car's cold air induction system and exhaust.
The exterior gets a minor styling facelift as Mansory adds several carbon-fiber body parts including a shorter hood, a new front apron, revised side skirts, and a new diffuser. Among the other key design features are a "V" insignia applied to the front grille, larger air outlets on the side and back, LED daytime running lights, and fully-forged turbine-design wheels.
Inside the Linea Vincerò Bugatti Veyron receives exclusive design touches such as LED lighting fitted to seats, door linings and dashboard as well as carbon-fiber trim applied to top of the instrument panel, center console, and door handles. This is the only tuned Veyron to date.
This version of Veyron was only sold in the Middle East dealer "Prestige Cars Abu Dhabi".

Sang Bleu
It is a version of Grand Sport commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Bugatti marque. It included a blue carbon fibre body with polished aluminum. The visual carbon fibre is tinted in royal blue to emphasize the refined volumes and surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. The rims are highlighted in a Midnight Blue and Diamond Cut two tone finish. The interior is trimmed in a Gaucho leather.
The vehicle was unveiled in 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
