There’s something ‘really odd’ about this Bugatti Veyron, one car reviewer noticed as he approached the stunning, sleek supercar.
You might scan the car for faults or anomalies – but the Veyron is clearly in mint condition.
However, look closer at the ’38’ license plate and it just might click.
Especially when you see it directly under the Bugatti ‘EB’ logo – can you spot it?

The Bugatti Veyron license plate
According to car guru Mat Watson: “It’s a complete accident as well.”
For the less than eagle-eyed among us, he spelled it out – literally.
“Look at this on the number plate,” he said, “38 and 38.”
Watson gestured first to the license plate and then to the ‘EB’ logo above it that seemingly mirrors those numbers.
“Apparently, the owner says that that was just a fluke,” he said.
“He never envisaged it but then one of his friends pointed out that, actually, the logo appears to match his number plate – or the other way around.”
However, it’s not the first time a license plate’s hidden meaning has gone initially undetected.
The state of Texas canceled a Lamborghini owner’s license plate because of what it looks like when flipped upside down.
The Bugatti logo
Of course, this is just a coincidental optical illusion, as the actual supercar logo reads ‘EB’.
It might be instantly recognizable – but do you know what the brand logo actually signifies?
From the Bugatti Veyron, Bugatti Divo, and Bugatti Chiron, right up to the most recent and slick Bugatti Tourbillon – with a feature that has taken everybody by surprise – all feature the famous logo.
The ‘EB’ emblem stands for Italian founder, Ettore Bugatti who started the brand back in 1909 in in Molsheim, France.
Believe it or not, they’re still made in the same place where they originally sprang to life – Molsheim.
But they aren’t pumped out at full throttle speed.
Instead, due to the large amount of detail and the fact they’re handmade, the supercar brand produces, for example, just 70 Chirons every 365 days.
But that’s still rather impressive when you think about the intricate systems involved in these beautiful bad boys.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
