For Sale at Auction: 2010 Bugatti Veyron in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. VF9SC2C2XAM795198

The Bugatti Veyron is one of the most important performance cars of the modern era, a machine that didn't only push the boundaries of speed, but redefined what was possible for a road-going automobile. Teeming with cutting-edge engineering and unrivaled performance at the time, the Veyron was record-breaking and genre-defining. It established the template for the 21st century hypercar and cemented Bugatti's place once again among the world's most coveted marques.
The Veyron was the audacious first production model from Bugatti under Volkswagen AG's stewardship-a partnership that had given the marque a vital influx of funding and fresh expectations following the elegant EB 110. Born from automotive visionary and then Volkswagen Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech's daring vision to create a superlative engine, the Veyron would surpass anything the automotive world had ever seen. His quest for unmatched power and refinement led him to seek a marque with equal measures of heritage, artistry, and technical prestige. Volkswagen acquired Bugatti in 1998, reuniting the storied brand with its historic home in Molsheim in a concentrated effort to return the marque to its pre-war glory days. With Bugatti's legacy of engineering marvels and Piech's groundbreaking technical ambitions, the stage was set for the creation of a modern icon: a car that would reclaim Bugatti's place at the pinnacle of performance, innovation, and luxury.

Evolving from a series of Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned concept cars and design studies unveiled in 1998 and 1999, the production-ready Veyron EB 16.4 was crafted by Hartmut Warkuss, Volkswagen's Head of Design, with exterior styling by Jozef Kaban. Its name honors Pierre Veyron, the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans winner for Bugatti, while E.B. nods to founder Ettore Bugatti. The 16.4 designation highlights its monstrous 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged W16-delivering 987 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque through a seven-speed Ricardo dual-clutch automatic transmission and permanent Haldex all-wheel drive. With ten radiators cooling the W16 motor and other components, Michelin tires designed specifically for the Veyron's speeds, and SGL Carbon carbon-ceramic brakes with AP Racing eight-piston titanium calipers in front and six-piston calipers in rear, the Veyron is well-equipped for maximum velocity. While top speed is electronically limited to 213 mph, inserting the included Speed Key and selecting the Top Speed Mode while at a standstill unlocks the car's mind-boggling 250-plus mph capability. Yet, the cockpit is abound with luxury, featuring hand-stitched leather throughout; complemented by brushed aluminum and tasteful hints of carbon fiber. The Bugatti Veyron is truly a no-compromise runway missile clothed in full evening dress.

The production Veyron was unveiled in 2005 and immediately enthralled the public. During testing sessions that April at Volkswagen's enigmatic Ehra-Lessien test track and with German officials on hand, the Veyron recorded a top speed of 253.81 mph-a world record for the fastest road-legal production car. The Veyron's blistering speed was not simply a one-off either; just a year later, Top Gear's James "Captain Slow" May reached a top speed of 253.2 mph at the same track-just half a mph off the official speed record. Positively smitten by the new age hypercar, Top Gear went on to crown the Veyron their 2000 Car of the Decade and the 2005 Best Car Driven All Year. Bugatti's new masterpiece won over even its harshest critics once they got behind the wheel. Legendary McLaren F1 designer and initial skeptic Gordon Murray called the Veyron "a huge achievement" after getting behind the wheel. In his article for Road & Track, Murray wrote, "The styling is a wonderful melange of classic curves and mechanical edges and elements-this should ensure that the car will still look good years from now and therefore have a chance of becoming a future classic." There is no better endorsement of a car's design than that of the man who designed arguably the most collectible and timeless supercar of the modern era.

The Veyron was more than just a superlative car; it was a cultural phenomenon. It became a symbol of engineering bravery, featured across media and revered by enthusiasts and the general public alike. It pushed its rivals in the hypercar wars to elevate their own limits, reshaping what the automotive world considered possible. For an entire generation, the Veyron was the dream car-the name that defined "fastest" in the modern lexicon, and the benchmark against which every subsequent hypercar would be measured.

Bugatti produced just 252 Veyron 16.4 Coupes over the car's ten-year production run, further adding a flair of rarity to the vehicle's ever-growing eminence. Today, the Veyron holds a hallowed place in the collector car world, standing shoulder to shoulder with other icons as one of the most important performance cars of the last half century. Its rarity, technological brilliance, and cultural cachet ensure enduring desirability. With only 76 Veyrons built for the United States market, examples with strong provenance and proper maintenance are rarely on the market.

This 2010 Bugatti Veyron is a U.S. market example and is finished in two-tone Black and Blue with a Black leather interior. A clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report shows that the car was first purchased by a collector in Silicon Valley, California, in May 2009. It was regularly serviced at Silicon Valley Auto Group and Luxury Cars Los Gatos, including its 10,000-mile service and a radiator replacement in 2014. The Veyron accrued the majority of its miles under this owner, who retained the hypercar for seven years, before selling it to a Florida-based owner in December 2015. The car remained in Florida for much of its life, between its next owner in 2016 and in the care of Prestige Imports, who serviced it regularly even after it was sold to its current owner in 2023. It received new tires during last year's comprehensive service and underwent its next annual service and inspection at Bugatti Beverly Hills in August 2025. Thanks to this timely and meticulous servicing, the next caretaker will now be able to purchase Bugatti's coveted Passeport Tranquillite extended warranty and enjoy trouble-free ownership via official factory service and care.

Freshly serviced, warranty-ready, and offered with just 6,515 miles at cataloging, this original Veyron is a superb example of Bugatti's innovative record-breaking hypercar. It remains one of the most significant performance cars ever built-a collectable landmark of design, technology, and outright speed.
