Last-ever Bugatti Veyron to go under the hammer

The final Bugatti Veyron coupe ever made is going up for auction in January. The remarkable Super Sport version is offered with near-delivery mileage and was used as a display car at the Geneva motor show.

Designed from the outset to be a showcase of engineering, the Veyron was the brainchild of former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch. He wanted to build a car that made no compromises to be the fastest, most powerful car in the world – he challenged engineers to build a vehicle capable of 249mph and with 1,000hp.
