Bijan Paxzad's Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

A couple weeks ago, as most of you fashion cravers may have heard, a fashion great, Bijan Paxzad, passed away at his home in Beverly Hills, California at the age of 67, just 12 days after his birthday. Born in Tehran, Iran, Bijan, like most entrepreneurs, had a dream and made it work. He was one of the biggest names in fashion. He's dressed the world's most powerful figures including Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Leno, Tom Cruise, Vladimir Putin, and even Ronald Reagan. And, it seemed that he dressed the world's most powerful cars as well, because before he died, it was discovered that he customized his own bespoke Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, which is what you see above. Notice that I said bespoke because Bugatti and Bijan had a close relationship and before he died, this was their gift to him. Notice the custom colors and graphics on the car. He even put his brand name, Bijan, on the airbrake. If you were to buy this car now, it would be worth $7,000,000, and that's not only on the Veyron's behalf. Bijan, that name itself is worth over $5,000,000. The guy was really that powerful. It's a shame he went out so soon. Check out the videos below to see his work in broad daylight. Bijan Paxzad will be missed.

Veyron's Not Dead Yet!

2012 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Special Edition

The fastest car in the world is still here and isn't going anywhere for a long time. In Shanghai this week, Bugatti unveiled two new Veyrons for the public to drool at. First, there's this special Veyron Super Sport that's been decked out in Carbon Black with some iconic 20-inch 10 spoke rims. It now looks more like a slippery, streamlined jet. It still has the powerful 8.0-liter Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine producing an iconic 1,200 horsepower. With a 0 to 60 of just 2.5 seconds, this road jet will reach a top speed of 258 MPH, the fastest a production car has ever gone. But, if the Super Sport is too fast for you, Bugatti has another alternative.

2012 Bugatti Grand Sport Special Edition

And here it is: the Veyron Grand Sport Special Edition. Now, the Super Sport may be the fastest Veyron, but the Grand Sport is definitely the most exciting. Why? How does speeding at 220 MPH along the highway with the roof off sound? It should sound good, unless of course your face comes off before then. This car is also powered by a 8.0-liter Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine, but with only 1,001 horsepower and a top speed of 252 MPH with the roof secured on, and 220 MPH with the roof off. So, if you've been looking to buy a special Veyron lately, look no further. No specs on how long each model will run, but they're here now and that's all that matters.
