Bugatti built just around 450 Veyrons in total across the various editions during the model’s 10-year production spell...so they’re pretty rare. And yet, with cars of this nature, it seems that ‘rare’ doesn’t cut the mustard for some buyers.
So how’s this Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse ‘Transformers’ that’s soon to be auctioned off by RM Sotheby’s? We can already hear ‘What I’ve Done’ by Linkin Park playing in the distance as we begin to flesh out the details.
Let’s start with that eye-catching exterior livery, which comprises a blue tone with white patterns culminating in an Autobot logo along the hood. The lower sections of the all-carbon body then adopt a pitch-black tone, which we expect will make up the arms and legs of its sentient form, while the diamond-cut alloys should slot in as the shoulder pads.

The theme continues inside the cabin, where everything from the upholstery to the center console and the door cards adopts the same colors. You’ll also spot a second Autobot logo perched between both seats, which could start shrieking instructions at you for how to locate Archibald Witwicky’s glasses. Possibly.
This car has also covered just 5,150km from new, so there’s, ahem, plenty of life left in its All Spark. Here, said All Spark is a 1,200hp iteration of Bugatti’s now-retired 16.4-liter quad-turbo W16. That’ll catapult you to 100kph in just 2.6sec and keep going onto a top speed of 409kph. In other words, that’s quick enough to put Starscream in his place.
There’s no pre-auction estimate penciled in the listing, but our best guess would circle around the £2 million (around P144 million) mark. That’s the price to pay to soundly scare off Megatron every time he turns up at your dinner party, it seems.
