Bugatti Gives the Veyron a New Life with Its Latest Configurator
Table of Contents
The Bugatti Veyron may be almost 20 years old now, but Bugatti clearly knows owners still care deeply about personalization. The company has introduced a new Veyron configurator that lets owners completely redesign their cars with modern colors, trims, materials, and custom details.
This new tool mainly targets existing Veyron owners and buyers entering the used market. Since only 450 Veyrons were built during its production run, finding the exact specification you want has never been easy.
Why Bugatti Created a New Veyron Configurator
When the Veyron launched in 2005, it changed the automotive world forever. It became the first production car to cross the 1,000 horsepower mark and also became the first production car capable of over 250 mph.
Back then, those numbers sounded unreal. Today, even electric sedans and muscle cars casually throw around four digit horsepower figures. But the Veyron still matters because it was first.
That history is exactly why Veyron prices remain extremely high today.
According to the report, used Veyron prices average around $2.1 million, assuming you can even find one for sale. Fewer than 120 units were sold in the United States.
Bugatti understands that many owners now want their older Veyrons to match newer cars like the Bugatti Tourbillon or simply stand out from other examples.
And honestly, when someone spends millions on a hypercar, they probably do not want their neighbor showing up with the exact same spec.
What the New Configurator Offers
The configurator reportedly includes 18 sections with multiple sub sections for customization. Owners can change nearly every visible part of the car.
Some of the available options include:
| Customization Area | Available Options |
|---|---|
| Exterior Paint | Solid paint, metallic paint, visible carbon |
| Carbon Fiber | Standard carbon, colored carbon |
| Wheels | Multiple finishes and colors |
| Interior | Leather colors, stitching, embossing |
| Trim | Silver, gold, custom finishes |
| Wing and Grille | Custom accent colors |
| Personalized Details | Messages on dash, wing, and door sills |
Bugatti also allows highly specific personalization requests, including color matched details and custom lettering, though offensive or trademarked wording is restricted.
The configurator will reportedly become available this summer through Bugatti dealerships and for customers with Bugatti accounts.
Why Veyron Buyers Actually Need This
Unlike buying a regular used car, Veyron buyers do not exactly have endless options.
You cannot simply open a marketplace app and filter through dozens of cars nearby like a used Honda Accord. With such limited production numbers, buyers often purchase based on availability first and specification second.
This configurator basically solves that problem.
If someone buys a red Veyron but prefers white, Bugatti can now help transform the car into something closer to the owner’s vision.
Of course, this level of customization is not cheap.
The report notes that changing from standard paint to exposed carbon fiber can require completely new body panels because the original painted carbon parts are not pattern matched for transparent finishes.
So yes, changing your Veyron’s color could quietly cost more than a new supercar.
Normal Bugatti things.
Driving the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Still Feels Special
The article also described driving a Veyron Super Sport, and despite newer hypercars arriving with even bigger numbers, the Veyron apparently still feels incredibly fast.
The Super Sport introduced several upgrades over the standard Veyron:
| Feature | Veyron Super Sport |
|---|---|
| Power Output | 1,200 horsepower |
| Torque | 1,106 lb ft |
| Top Speed | 258 mph limited |
| Engine | 8.0 liter quad turbo W16 |
| Fuel Pumps | Four |
One detail that stands out is fuel consumption.
At full throttle, the Super Sport can reportedly empty its 26.4 gallon fuel tank in just 10 minutes.
That sounds less like fuel economy and more like aviation.
The Veyron Has Aged Surprisingly Well
Interestingly, the Veyron now feels more comfortable than many modern supercars.
The report mentions that older reviews criticized the car for its ride quality and awkward ergonomics, but by today’s standards, it actually feels quiet, plush, and surprisingly usable.
Even the famous Michelin tires reportedly feel softer compared to many current performance cars.
The W16 engine also delivers power differently from newer hypercars. Instead of sudden aggressive acceleration, the Veyron builds speed with a smooth and relentless pull that still feels special today.
