The fastest artwork ever - Bugatti Grand Sport Venet


French artist Bernar Venet was recently invited by Bugatti to adorn the Grand Sport with his unique visual idiom.

The stunning result - the one-off Bugatti Grand Sport Venet - draws upon the engineering studies and equations that created Bugatti's mythical performance - the text is seemingly being blown off by the car as it cuts through the wind.

A beautiful synthesis of Bugatti's sculptural beauty and Venet's passion for mathematics and scientific treatises. This unique sculptural work will be on view at the Rubell Family Collection in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach.

Designed by French artist Bernar Venet, the bespoke model features a two-tone exterior with a dark brown rear end and orange mathematical formulas at the front.

The unique styling carries over to the interior as it has two-tone leather upholstery and special door pads with contrasting orange mathematics. There's also an embroidered Bernar Venet signature and a small metal sculpture between the seats.

Like the standard Grand Sport, the Venet is powered by a quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces 1001 HP (736 kW) and 1250 Nm (922 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 407 km/h (252 mph).
