A remarkable one-of-one Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was hidden away for eight years, but it’s now heading for an elite Bugatti collection in the United States.

This Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is one of just 92 ever made, with only 22 of those being for the North American market.

Adding to the exclusivity is the one-of-one nature of this particular example, thanks to its incredible color combination and sublime finish.

The Veyron is set to join one of America’s most impressive Bugatti collections, which is the perfect home for such an exclusive supercar.

The most notable detail of this particular Bugatti Veyron supercar is its stunning finish.

This car is in a factory white and blue livery, dubbed ‘Vagues de Lumière’ by Bugatti.

That translates to ‘Wave of Light.’

Plus, the livery is entirely hand-painted, and it gives off a beautiful mirror finish which really pops out in sunlight.

Inside, the Veyron has a handcrafted Tangerine leather interior, contrasting against the blue and white exterior.

In addition to the Tangerine, the interior also has dark blue exposed carbon fiber.

This is seen on the center console and dashboard.

The dark blue also matches the Veyron’s carbon seats, headrest embroidery, seat belts, and trim.

Naturally, like any other Veyron, this Grand Sport Vitesse has the famous Bugatti W16 under the hood.

This is an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, making 1,200HP and 1,106LB-FT of torque.

It isn’t a cheap engine to maintain either, with oil changes costing as much as $25,000.

The supercar has a top speed of 254.05MPH, making it the fastest Roadster in the world after it launched in 2012.

Even 13 years after its introduction, those figures are still incredibly impressive.

This Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was tucked away in a private collection for over eight years before it was sold.

Thanks to its rarity and sublime finish, it’s unlikely to venture out in public too much.

However, we take a lot of comfort knowing it’s off to a good home and will live among other Bugattis.
