Honouring the foundation of the company in 1909 Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S opened the anniversary with a one-off version of the Veyron, the Ă¢€Å“Bleu CentenaireĂ¢€, at the Geneva Motor Show in March. At the Villa dĂ¢€™Este weekend at the end of April the company paid tribute to BugattiĂ¢€™s racing history Ă¢€“ which was to a great extend responsible for the worldwide reputation of the brand Ă¢€“ with four very special Grand Sports, accompanied by their respective Type 35 predecessors, all featuring the traditional racing colours representing France, Italy, England and Germany, namely blue, red, green and white. Bugatti was then one of the honoured marques at the Pebble Beach Concours dĂ¢€™Elegance in California in August and highlighted the event with the presentation of the Ă¢€Å“Sang BleuĂ¢€, a one off Grand Sport in a breathtaking and unique carbon Ă¢€“ aluminium combination. The Ă¢€Å“100th Anniversary WeekendĂ¢€ in Molsheim in September was the platform for a glimpse into the future which might look like the Bugatti 16 C Galibier concept Ă¢€“ intended to be the most exclusive, elegant and powerful four door automobile in the world.
2009 Veyron Centenary Bugatti Sports CarBuilding on the marque's core values of Ă‚« Art - Forme - Technique Ă‚» , Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has created the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire, a unique model to celebrate the hundred year old history of the company. This special model takes up the traditional Bugatti two-tone-specification, but portrays it in one rather than two colours: in the most known light shaded Bugatti blue. The Centenaire's unique combination of a Ă‚« sprintblue matt Ă‚» and Ă‚« sprintblue gloss Ă‚» hence offers a new impression of the two-tone-scheme known so far with parts of the engine also covered in this traditional Bugatti Blue.

The interior of the Centenaire is fitted in a special Ă‚«snowbeigeĂ‚» leather with quilting on the seats. The central console is covered in the same leather. New LED lights, Park Distance Control and a rearview camera have become part of the standard equipment for all Bugatti Veyrons from this year onwards.
