Dashingly Elegant Bugatti Veyron Black Bess Edition

As Bugatti is nearing the completion of the special Bugatti Legends series of supercars, we encounter the Black Bess Edition of the famous automobile, and even though its predecessors were inspired in their design by very important names in Bugatti history, the Black Bess variant actually honors the famed Type 18 sports car.

The Type 18 “Black Bess” is widely recognized as the fist street legal sports car in the world, which means that aside from its great aesthetics, it also flaunted some very impressive performance capabilities. This was all possible thanks to a 4-cylinder in-line engine that delivered about 100 horsepower while ensuring a top speed of about 100 mph. The Veyron Black Bess Edition is based on the Veyron 16:4 Grand Sport Vitesse and will be manufactured as part of a limited edition of just 3 units.

Unveiled during the prestigious Beijing Motor Show, this car boasts 24-carat gold plating on its horseshoe grill and features a dashingly elegant black paintjob complemented by gold stripes on its front fenders. The interior of the vehicle is drenched in high-end leather in beige, brown and red, while the door panels feature superb hand-made motifs of the original T18. Last but not least, it’s also worth noting that this amazing car will flaunt a fitting price tag of $3 million.
