Like the previous cars in the series, this is also based on the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, while paying homage to Meo Costantini, who was a close friend of the company’s founder, Ettore Bugatti. He was the head of Bugatti’s factory race team for many years and was also a driver, winning the Targa Florio two times in the Bugatti Type 35, one of the most successful racing cars of all time.
