    Back in 2013, Bugatti decided to celebrate its heroes who played a crucial role in the brand's history. The French carmaker then announced that it would bring out six exclusive editions under the 'Les Legendes de Bugatti' series to commemorate these legendary figures.
    All the six vehicles in the series were to be based on the record-setting Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse. The last special edition dedicated to the Milanese man, Ettore Bugatti himself, has now been revealed. This model features handpolished, clear-coated aluminium panelling which contrasts against the dark blue exposed carbon fibre.

    For the first time, the French automaker has used two tones of leather to drape its cabin interior which has blue exposed carbon accents and a dancing elephant motif coated in aluminium as a tribute to the Bugatti Type 41. The dancing elephant's emblem was sculpted by Ettore's brother, Rembrandt, and can be seen on the other five special editions as well.

    Priced approximately at Rs 19.2 crore (exclusive of taxes and duties), the Bugatti Veyron Ettore Bugatti special edition was showcased at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last week, alongside the other five special Grand Sport Vitesse models: Black Bess, Rembrandt Bugatti, Jean-Pierre Wimille, Meo Constantini and Jean Bugatti.
