On 10 September 2007 a special version of the Veyron called the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron "Pur Sang" was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The difference from a standard Veyron is the body finishing: the Pur Sang has none. Instead it reveals the Veyrons pure aluminium-carbon fibre body. Pur Sang is French, meaning thoroughbred or pure blood (literally).

Hermes (Greek, ?????, IPA: /?h?mi?z/), in Greek mythology, is the Olympian god of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them, of shepherds and cowherds, of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics, of weights and measures, of invention, of commerce in general, and of the cunning of thieves and liars.

Just because you're stupid, doesn't mean they are.
 
I'm well aware of the etymology and applicability of the names, thank you Icebone.

Bugatti has the worst record for naming their recent cars. Come on...Pegaso? Pur-Sang? Hermes? As cool as the car was, you can't give high-end stuff the names of Thai hookers.

Those are some pretty classy hookers. Make sure their penises aren't longer than yours, though. .
 
Hermes sounds like herpes. Something you get at no additional charge with the classy Thai hookers.
 
^ Not really, 'cause the STD is not pronounced er-pez.
 
Her-peas rather than her-pez, as Shawn said. Atleast that's how we say it up in the good ol NW.

Was nice and sunny today, how about you Shawn?
 
T'was pretty decent... started out very cloudy but it opened up quite a bit by late morning. I'm stoked that spring seems to be here, the winter was pretty coold.
 
Because it's Bugatti (Ignore the fact that it's actually VW for a moment) They'll do something insane like add another three turbos or bolt another 4L V8 to the engine, just for shits and giggles.
I'm loving the all-metal Veyron, though...
 
now i know why the waitlist ofr birkins are so long the seamstresses are making seats for veyrons.
 
From SW

The new Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Herm?s features eight-spoked wheels in polished aluminium, central butterfly wheel locks branded with the letter H, and air vents around the rims reproducing the characteristic appearance of Herm?s saddle-stitching. The horseshoe radiator grille, and the lateral ventilation grilles flanking it, are made from lightweight alloys with a design of interlocking H?s evoking the Herm?s ?signature?.


The inner surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Herm?s have been designed and sheathed in
bull calfskin by the Herm?s workshops in Paris. The care and attention to detail observe an extremely refined, minimalist formal vocabulary, reflecting the tradition of the very first Bugattis and the fundamental design principles of the house of Herm?s. The door handles echo the fluid forms of handles on Herm?s travel bags and luggage. And the dashboard, traditionally finished in brushed aluminium, is here clad entirely in bull calfskin. Passengers aboard the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Herm?s will find a dashboard glove compartment designed to hold a selection of small travel accessories and a zipped Herm?s wallet. Both seats are covered in two-toned bull calfskin, and the panel separating the cockpit from the central rear engine ? traditionally made of carbon fibre ? is covered in the same fine leather. The leather-lined trunk holds a specially-fitted ?Toile H? and leather case, hand-made by craftsmen from the Herm?s workshops.

This ->exceptional<- model ? in toning colours of ebony and ?toupe, or ebony and brick ? is priced at 1.55 million euros (not including tax), available at the end of 2008.

So, another load of hype for some leather and costly garish fashion
 
What a letdown this is... not only have they merely changed the trimmings, it looks worse than the regular Veyron. Same with the Pegaso too... goes to show you can't improve much on the original Veyron.
 
here are some pictures, supposedly you are getting a free suitcase for the price, which has been hiked to EUR 1.55 mil + tax.

^ Is that last picture available in hi-res? I really like that color scheme.
 
woah, attention to detail overload


did anybody else notice they got rid of the little point in the grill?

I think it looks great, esp. the side view
 
The boot-lid line doesnt quite match up with the front spoiler
