Желая создать «самое быстрое произведение искусства на колёсах», представители Bugatti обратились за помощью к французскому художнику Bernar Venet. Результатом творческого посыла и технической мысли стал Veyron Grand Sport Venet.

Источником вдохновения для художника стали математические формулы, которые были использованы инженерами Бугатти при создании этого автомобиля. Для нанесения чисел используется особый цвет – ржавый метал, который превосходно контрастирует на фоне чёрного кузова.
