Gooding & Company are arranging their annual auction, Pebble Beach Councours d’Elegance in California and preparing a good surprise for the guests. The company has already received the reputation of the exotic car seller and this year French Bugatti Veyron 16.4, nicknamed The Grand Sport, is going to debut at the auction.
The first auto will be assembled in spring 2009, but its ownership will be offered for sale on August, 16, 2008, at the Pebble Beach.
According to the pictures Bugatti Veyron is a convertible, but Gooding & Company present it as a roadster with the removable roof. It is also interesting to know the automaker used several “innovative structural solutions” to make the body and the chassis of the car stronger.
New Bugatti will be limited; they say there will not be assembled more than 80 vehicles of this model.
At one of the previous auctions Gooding & Company sold a very rare 1927 Bugatti Type 35C Grand Prix for a very impressive price of $2,585,000.
