Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse chassis 8.100: original specification and restoration

The odometer of a one-off Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse showed just 750 km when it was offered for sale in Germany in 2024. It now has a new owner, but before delivery Bugatti brought the hypercar back to its Molsheim factory. Specialists removed customization added later and restored its original factory specification.

This is chassis No. 8.100, the only Grand Sport Vitesse with bodywork made almost entirely from exposed polished aluminum. Some exterior parts are carbon fiber. Bugatti says the work was completed under La Maison Pur Sang, a program combining restoration, historical research and authentication.

The car began as a bespoke commission in 2014. Aluminum blocks weighing up to 20 tonnes were brought to Molsheim to machine its complex body panels. That was the weight of the raw stock, not the finished vehicle. The unique Veyron was delivered to its first owner in spring 2015.

The exterior is almost entirely free of conventional paint, while the cabin features Carmine Red leather. Its Grand Sport Vitesse powertrain remains intact: an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 producing 1,200 metric horsepower and 1,500 Nm of torque.

In July 2024, German publication Auto Bild reported that the car was being sold through Mechatronik. At the time its mileage was only 750 km, and the asking price was disclosed solely to interested buyers. The precise price has never been made public.

The car has now officially changed hands. Rather than adding more personalization, Bugatti took the opposite course and reverted to the original order, relying on factory records dating from its construction. The company did not specify exactly which later elements were removed.

The contrast is striking beside another La Maison Pur Sang project. In August 2026 Bugatti presented the Veyron 20 Years with new wheels designed for Chiron-size tires and refreshed interior trim. The aluminum Grand Sport Vitesse, by contrast, regained its original appearance and received official authentication.

Bugatti heritage and certification specialist Luigi Galli says the program aims to preserve the authenticity and history of the marque’s rarest cars. The restored Veyron is already with its new owner on the French Riviera. Bugatti has not disclosed the sale price or the cost of the factory work.
