Self explanatory, and found on Evo website:

Two great comments below the article:

"Calling a paint scheme a special edition is one of the stupidest car trends today. Please stop."

"At this rate the special edition will be the standard model."

Most telling comment in the article: "The order books stay open for the Grand Sport however, with 105 slots in the 150-strong production run still available." Seriously, how thick does Bugatti think that mega-rich sheikhs are? There's nothing mechanically special about this edition to set it apart from a regularly specced Grand Sport, and I'm sure that the interior and exterior could be done as a custom order for an awful lot less than the asking price! I know that someone in Qatar could see this and buy it on a whim though - if so, Bugatti wins again.

No different than the constant tweaks to essentially the same iPhone, yet despite being expensive people still snap them up so they have something someone else doesn't have / latest toy to play with.

You're thinking like a mere minion like the rest of us; whereas you can afford the latest iPhone a Sheikh can afford the latest Bugatti. There target market is the super rich and their product is fantastic and in limited numbers; people will still buy them and that's how business works. smile

I can't see pictures, I'm guessing it's that blue one with the white stripes all over it? The Ceramic edition or something? In my mind to best "Specials" were the Pur Sang models. Anything else could probably be specced when ordering a new one.

Oh, forgot the Super Sport. I guess that counts too.

It looks like a bumblebee confused by its sexuality.
