Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is the fastest web at Art Basel Miami - Autoweek TV wiht Jake Lingeman
Bugatti partners with the French artist for the new Veyron Grand Sport Venet.
Regarding the exclusive cars, you can not get much more exclusive than the Bugatti Veyron, and even among these rare beauties is the set of special edition models of which only a handful are produced each year.
The latter is the Veyron Grand Sport Venet, a car Bugatti bills as the work the fastest ever.
The reason for this is due to this particular version of one of the fastest cars in the world featuring the work of the French conceptual artist Bernar Venet on its outside and inside the cabin.
Venet, based in New York, was asked by Bugatti to help create something special for Art Basel Miami Beach, which takes place this week, it is known for creating abstract pieces influenced by mathematics and science, and this can be clearly seen in his latest book.
Running on the front of the car and its sides are dozens of mathematical and scientific formulas, the same used by the Bugatti engineers when developing the Veyron They are spread over a finish similar to that of rusted metal, which is also a common theme of the art of Venet.
The same theme continues inside the cabin, with door panels covered in bright orange several formulas and dashboards and leather trims get a rusty appearance.
Based on the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport the new special edition offers a 1.001 scoring horses for its quad-engine turbo 8 W-16 0 liters and a maximum speed of 252 mph course, with its removable roof detached, speed tip is limited to 224 mph, and with its temporary roof fabric umbrella mounted speed drops to 81 mph.
Many consider the cars of Bugatti be pieces of art already, and this is something that goes back to the first Bugattis developed under the supervision of founder Ettore Bugatti In fact, Ettore was born into a family of artists, his father was a respected sculptor and furniture designer and studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, while his brother Rembrandt was an important sculptor whose work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, among other places.
Ettore first began his career studying art at the Art School of Brera in Milan before he devoted himself to the art of engineering in 1909, he finally established its manufacturing workshop car in Molsheim, France, and throughout his career in the art world continue to influence his designs.
Speaking at the announcement of his latest creation, Bernar Venet emphasized the link between Bugattis and the world of art, explaining that Bugatti is already a work of art in itself, one that carries on once the viewer and its driver into new dimensions of reality.
Anyone interested to see the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Venet, or perhaps even willing to make an offer, it is not clear whether this special edition is actually for sale, can see the car during Art Basel Miami Beach at the Rubell Family collection of December 5 to 9.
