The first of the previously-unseen Bugatti concepts is the Veyron Barchetta, created by the head of Bugatti’s design department, Achim Anscheidt, way back in 2008. The vehicle was based on a Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse but adorned with all-new bodywork and a Speedster-like wraparound windshield. Interestingly, some of the concept’s looks, most notably its headlights, have gone on to feature on the limited-run Bugatti Divo, based around the current Chiron.
According to Autoblog, who spoke with Anscheidt about the Bugatti Veyron Barchetta, the company’s top executives were reluctant to adopt a similar business model to Lamborghini in launching such limited-run models at the time.
