Bugatti invited French artist Bernar Venet to personalize on of their Veyron Grand Sport hypercars. Venet's Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is going to be on display at the Art Basel Miami Beach at the Rubell Family Collection. Bernar Venet's paintwork on this special Bugatti Grand Sport is his own interpretation of speed, complete with an haute couture interior. This is not your average art car. Its exterior finish includes various mathematical formulae that calculate the Veyron's incredible power output. Bernar Venet remarks, "A Bugatti is already a work of art in itself, one that transports both its beholder and its driver into new dimensions of reality. I realized how I could translate my passion for mathematical equations and scientific treatises into three-dimensional form.
My works are usually self-referential. So I found the idea of translating the equations of the Bugatti engineers onto the bodywork of the car very appealing. It was, so to speak, a logical conclusion and a new challenge in terms of the specific form of collaboration and implementation. To me, the result is also exceptional when measured by artistic standards and bestows the object with a mythical character."
Bugatti does not mention if Venet’s Veyron Grand Sport is for sale or not.
