In 1998, Volkswagen Group acquired the rights to the fabled Bugatti company in a strategic acquisition born to realize Ferdinand Piëch’s vision for an 18-cylinder automobile of unsurpassed power, performance, and heritage. His mandates for the car that eventually became the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 would be some of the most ambitious ever issued by an automaker: It needed to produce 1,001 PS (987 horsepower) and achieve a top speed in excess of 400 km/h (nearly 250 mph), yet also be entirely tractable and livable for daily driving, with great comfort for both driver and passenger. The final product was intended not just to resurrect one of the most famous names in automobiles, in utterly spectacular fashion, but to absolutely demonstrate the engineering prowess of the Volkswagen Group as a whole to the world.

Piëch’s team responded to this challenge by not only meeting but, in many cases, exceeding his ideals. The production Veyron that emerged in 2005 could accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.46 seconds, en route to a top speed just over 408 km/h (nearly 254 mph). Built around a magnificent mid-mounted, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine with four valves per cylinder and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it astonished the world with its surefootedness even at the most extreme speeds, enabled by a full-time Haldex all-wheel-drive system. The stopping power was stunning, as the Veyron was anchored by massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 15.7-inch discs and eight-piston, four-pad calipers up front, while 15-inch discs with six-piston, two-pad calipers were mounted at the rear. The alloy wheels, respectively 20 and 21 inches at the front and rear, were shod with special Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 PAX run-flat tires engineered specifically for the Veyron.

Three different drive modes governed the dizzying array of technology: a Normal mode, at which the ride height was 4.9 inches; a Handling mode that deployed the rear spoiler and lowered ride height to 3.15 inches; and a special, key-activated High-Speed mode that dropped ride height to 2.56 inches in front and 2.75 at the rear, while changing the spoiler position. Even the car’s ancillary systems, including no fewer than 10 radiators, were marvels of automotive engineering conceived to perform under the most demanding circumstances.

All of this was encased within an intricately hand-crafted structure, actually shorter in overall length than a modern Porsche 911, though riding on a longer 106.7-inch wheelbase, while being noticeably lower and wider than the benchmark German sports car of the day. It was instantly and definitely recognizable only as what it is: the modern Bugatti, a car that looked and performed like absolutely nothing else on the road. Even today, nearly 20 years after its introduction, its specifications are remarkable, and its performance still stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s greatest supercars.

VEYRON NUMBER 202

Bugatti Veyron production ceased in 2015, at which point 450 cars had been produced; just 250 of these were 16.4 coupes, with only 76 in United States specification. While many were finished in somewhat eye-popping combinations of hues, this car was finished in a more subtle Silver Metallic over Bright Silver, an exceptionally effective two-tone pairing that serves to emphasize the Veyron’s distinctive lines and complex curves. Like the Bugattis of the Classic Era, the cabin was elegant, simple, and purposeful, thanks to the choice of a fully black interior accented by white piping on the seats. An engine-turned center console serves as a focal point, while adding a dash of vintage spirit to the cabin as it recalls the dashboards of the original Bugattis.

Under the care of its current owner for 11 years, the car has been extensively serviced by Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, Connecticut. A collection of invoices on file confirm payments totaling $540,000 for multi-year extended warranty programs and additional repair work. Under this program, routine maintenance was performed as dictated by Bugatti’s schedule. The vehicle received its bi-annual service in March 2025 and a belt service in April 2024. Today the car has recorded only 8,628 actual miles at the time of cataloguing. Given the outstanding maintenance history provided by its present custodian, it is hardly surprising that the car shows in outstanding condition and is almost certainly one of the finest to be found on the market today.

Like the original Bugatti, the Veyron has become a timeless machine. This example, pure in design and elegant in presentation, is offered with its delivery box, speed key, owner’s manuals, tool kit, and car cover. Suitable for any serious stable, it is a truly superb example of a supercar that will be remembered for all time as one of the true greats.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo26/.
