Bugatti is now halfway through its six-part “Legends of Bugatti” series, and the French supercar brand is poised to present the line’s fourth model at the 2014 Geneva auto show. Bugatti will build just three examples of the new Rembrandt Bugatti Legend car, which will continue to be based on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse convertible.
The latest Bugatti Legend car will be named after the brother of company founder Ettore Bugatti, Rembrandt Bugatti, who was also a significant 20th century sculptor. The radiator decoration on the old Bugatti Type 41 Royale featured a dancing elephant, referring to one of Rembrandt’s most important works. On the sculptor’s namesake Legends car, the driver will be greeted by a cast-bronze dancing elephant integrated into the rear center box between the seats. We imagine it’s the only example of an elephant traveling 254 mph on the ground.
