Bugatti celebrated the world premiere of its Legend "Jean-Pierre Wimille" Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse vehicle in Pebble Beach, California last week.
The two-toned blue stunner was designed to pay tribute to the 1937 Bugatti 57G Tank, and is named after its LeMans-winning driver.
The car is part of Bugatti's exclusive six-part Legends edition series of the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. Each model will be limited to just three vehicles.
This particular car has about 1,200 horsepower and can reach 253 miles per hour — with the top down.

Jean-Pierre Wimille took home Bugatti's first victory in the 57G Tank at the famed Le Mans 24-hour race in 1937.
The "JP Wimille" is a powerful car; it hit a top speed of 253 miles per hour in April 2013.
