Bugatti at The Quail, Pebble Beach, and Laguna Seca

Bugatti officially introduced the Veyron Super Sport at The Quail Motorsport Gathering, and the brand was strongly represented at both The Quail and Pebble Beach. The Laguna Seca Historic Races featured a Bugatti Grand Prix. WatchTime was there to capture the action. You may enlarge these images with a click.

The lovely setting at The Quail.

Bugatti President Dr.-Ing. Franz-Josef Paefgen presents the new Veyron Super Sport.

Bugatti test driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel drives the Super Sport onto the stage. In June, Pierre drove the Super Sport much faster, setting a new world land speed record for a production car at 267 mph.

A new Veyron Super Sport in bare carbon fiber, sans orange trim, was also on display.

A large number of vintage Bugattis participated at The Quail.

Bugatti was also well represented at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

A special guest stopped by at Pebble Beach to admire the Bugattis and other treasures on display.

Bugattis were everywhere at Laguna Seca, where they ran a special Bugatti Grand Prix. Many of the multi-million dollar cars on display at The Quail participated in this race.

Also attending was Bugatti test driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel, who recently set a new world land speed record for a production car in the Veyron Super Sport at 267 mph. Of course Pierre was wearing Parmigiani’s Bugatti Super Sport when he set the record. When Pierre finished his runs, Top Gear had a crack. James May, aka Captain Slow, managed “only” 259 mph.

Our next stop is the tables, where guests can talk to brand executives and representatives and see and try on the newest models from Basel and Geneva. This part of the show is better than Basel and Geneva, because at the Swiss shows, the watches are locked away in glass cases, and the rule is look, but don’t touch. At the WatchTime shows, you can look, touch, examine with a loupe, try on, and get expert answers direct from the manufacturers. And remember, many of the watches at Inside Basel/Geneva are not yet in the stores, so you’ll get the first chance to try them on.
