On 11 September 2007, a special version of the Veyron called the "Pur Sang"[2] (French for "thoroughbred", literally "pure blood") was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The only difference from the standard Veyron is the body finishing: the Pur Sang has none, revealing the Veyron's pure aluminium-carbon fibre body, with just a clear coat protection. Production of the Pur Sang will be limited to five cars, which will have high-gloss aluminium roadwheels with a diamond cut finish.[3]. All 5 vehicles were sold on the day of release.

The Bugatti Veyron Fbg Par Hermès[4][5] is named after the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the street at which number 24 contains Hermès' headquarters. The car features numerous changes to both the interior and exterior of the car. The front end of the car has been modified slightly, and the Hermès monogram has been added to the front grille. The roadwheels also feature a single H in the centre, and the fuel filler door is engraved with "Bugatti Veyron Fbg Par Hermès". The interior is done in Hermès leather and features new internal door handles reminiscent of handles used on Hermès trunks, there is also a Hermès wallet which is designed to fit inside the centre console, and a Hermès suitcase designed to fit inside the trunk is also included.

The Sang Noir pays homage to the original Bugatti Atlantique 57S of the 1930s. Exterior styling combines an all-black colour palette — Sang Noir means "black blood" — with raw carbon fibre panels, blacked-out headlamps, and aluminium trim for the grille surround and side mirrors. The production run was 15 vehicles. The interior is exclusively finished in bright orange.[6]

The Grand Sport comes with small tweaks to the windshield and running lights, and two removable tops. The second is a temporary roof fashioned after an umbrella and inspired by pictures of classic Bugatti racers with umbrellas in hand. The Grand Sport can reach 406 km/h with the hardtop in place, the same top speed as the coupé version. With no roof, the top speed is limited to 369 km/h, and to 130 km/h with the temporary soft roof. The Grand Sport has extensive reinforcement beyond the standard Veyron, including carbon fiber doors, hoops, intake faces; carbon fibre enclosed transmission tunnel.[8]
