I saw through the windows of a dealership at about 2am on the way to Rush Street in Chicago.

My first sighting occurred at the 2006 LA Auto Show - this Veyron ended up in the collection of Bob Petersen, founder of Petersen Publishing who has since passed away. His collection lives on in the Petersen Museum on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. You can actually see him in the background of one of the shots speaking with Thomas Bscher, then President of Bugatti Automobiles, about purchasing the car. These shots are all clickable for larger versions.








I saw three in a period of less than an hour my "second time". Not surprisingly, this occurred at the famous Pebble Beach Concours de Elegance back in 2006. The black one was "owned" the other two were Bugatti demos getting quite a bit of miles put on them with prospective customers in the passenger seat from what I could see.

Discounting automotive events where one might expect to find a Veyron, I have yet to see any "in the wild". I even live fairly close to VW's West Coast emissions testing lab and there have been several sightings locally, but none by me.

Gotta say though - I don't much care for the Bug. I'm impressed by what it can do for sure, and they are certainly finely crafted, but sadly I just don't find the styling all that visually appealing.

What is the new model called (the one with the LED headlights etc.)?
There is one at the Bentley showroom in London and I saw one (in chrome and blue) in Monaco last weekend (with Qatariplates of course)

The new model is called the Grand Sport and it has a removable panel on the roof.

The chrome and blue model is the Type 35 Grand Prix special edition.

All Veyrons produced after Geneva auto show this year have new front LED lights, rear parking sensors and Puccini high-end sound system. Same equipment as on Grand Sport Veyron.

The Veyron at Bugatti dealer in London, chrome and green, and chrome and blue Veyron which was spotted around the France with Qatar plates are cars from Bugatti Centanaire presentation at Villa d'Este event this spring. I was told that they all are sold and have left the factory, so we can expect them to be spotted, I do not know if green and chrome Veyron is still at the dealer though.
