When it debuted, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport redefined the pinnacle of automotive engineering. Among the most sought-after variations of this legend is the ‘Sang Noir’ edition, a breathtaking masterpiece of power and style that commanded a staggering $3.4 million price tag.
Unmatched Performance
At its heart, the Sang Noir boasts the Super Sport’s colossal 1,200-horsepower engine—a full 200 horsepower more than the standard Veyron. This immense power launches the car from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a mere 2.5 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 258 mph (415 km/h) to preserve the integrity of its high-performance tires, solidifying its status as one of the fastest production cars ever built.
A Study in Menacing Elegance
The ‘Sang Noir’ (French for “Black Blood”) lives up to its name with a stunning, dark aesthetic. The exterior features exclusive details like Diamond Cut SuperSport alloys finished in black, polished aluminum roof rails, and transparent rear lights that enhance its sleek profile.
The drama continues inside with a vibrant Tangerine leather interior that creates a stunning contrast with the car’s dark theme. The cabin is a showcase of meticulous craftsmanship, featuring:
- Intricate tangerine stitching on black leather, and black stitching on tangerine leather.
- The ‘Sang Noir’ logo proudly displayed on the center console.
- A black anodized ‘EB’ logo on the steering wheel, accented with a tangerine ring.
- Modern luxuries, including a reversing camera and both Comfort and Sport seats.
