When your primary product is a car that boasts 1001hp and a top speed of 407km/h adding some limited edition specials to the range becomes an exercise in the aesthetics. Adding a performance + pack is hardly warranted.

With two Veyron Limited Editions already under its belt, the Pur Sang and the leather clad Fbg par Hermès, Bugatti has taken the wraps off a third – the Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir.

Whilst it holds little relevance to the average person on the street, it appears that recent speculation concerning a targa version of Bugatti’s Veyron is in fact accurate. Bugatti spokesman, Georges Keller is reported to have confirmed that the supercar brand will be producing an open top version of the Veyron.

The option of a full convertible is not possible due to the design of the Veyron’s ‘safety cage’, instead we are likely to see a targa style removable roof panel. As the Veyron is basically one big engine, there is no storage space for the roof panel, but a fabric cover will be stowed in the vehicle in the event that inclement weather is encountered.

It is a sign of the affluent times in which we live that Bugatti, have in the space of just two years managed to sell 220 Veyron supercars. Priced at $US1.4 million the Veyron is one of the world’s more expensive toys.

Currently, 132 examples of the 407km/h supercar have been delivered with another 88 more being on order, which leaves only 80 remaining from the supposed 300 unit production run.

Bugatti have teamed with Hermès to bring the world a unique take on their Veyron supercar. For those looking for a Veyron that stands out from the crowd the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès could be just the ticket. Sensibly all of the Veyron good bits have been left untouched, which means under the skin is the same W16 quad-turbo 407km/h monster that we all know and love.

The difference lies in the presentation, with the Hermès version of the Veyron having been extensively worked over by Hermès designer, Gabriele Pezzini. The majority of Veyron’s that we have seen feature two-tone paintwork but not like the Hermès Veyron.

It doesn’t hurt to finish the day off with a laugh and a UK Bugatti Veyron owner has provided the fodder. Parking their Veyron in a Manchester loading zone, the ‘well-to-do’ owner left the scene to do whatever ‘well-to-do’ Veyron owners do in Manchester. A crowd soon gathered, one would assume to ogle the Veyron and then the parking inspector turned up…

The lone parking inspector was actually cheered by the crowd as she issued a ₤60 parking ticket and slapped it on the windscreen. Normally, parking inspectors are about as popular as speed camera operators, but it would appear that they are still one rung above a Veyron owner.
