Missed out on the first three models of Bugatti's Legends Series?

Don't worry, because Bugatti->ke16 has a new one out that should give you more reason to part with $2.7 million.

This time around, Bugatti is paying homage to Rembrandt Bugatti, the brother of founder Ettore Bugatti and considered as one of the most famous sculptors of the 20th century.

The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse->ke1112 Rembrandt Bugatti Edition distinguishes itself with a bronze clear-coated carbon exterior -- a tip of the hat to the preferred material Rembrandt Bugatti used in many of his sculptures. Just below it on the lower area of the car, a light brown shade was used to make the two-tone finish pop more than it already does.

This is a Veyron after all, and even the minimal attempts at "popping-out" the color can be construed as unnecessary, but for the price customers have to pay and the uber-limited nature of the supercar->ke177 -- it's limited to three units -- these types of things distinguish it from other Veyrons.

Aside from the colors, you might also notice that the Bugatti horseshoe and the EB logo on the back of the car were given a platinum look, and the oil cap features a laser etching of Rembradnt's signature. Rounding out the exterior aesthetics of this Veyron are alloy wheels that have been painted in two shades of brown -- "Firefinch" and "Light Noix" -- visually complementing the rustic bronze color of the supercar.

Moving inside, Bugatti's choice of leather for the cabin is a light brown "Cognac" leather upholstery with the dancing elephant ornament on the rear center box. Apparently, Rembrandt Bugatti loved sculpting elephants and this particular one was also used as the hood ornament for the Bugatti Type 41 Royale.

Other features of note on the interior include a platinum EB logo on the steering wheel, the same bronze clear-coated carbon finish on the center console and braided leather for the door trims.

With the arrival of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, Bugatti's Legends Series now adds up to four released models with only two left to be showcased at a later date.

Rembrandt Bugatti

Rembrandt Bugatti, the younger brother of Ettore Bugatti, was considered as one of the most artistic sculptors of his time -- a talent many believe he took from his father, Carlo Bugatti, who himself built a successful career as an artist and designer.

Over the course of his own career, Rembrandt built a reputation as one of the most captivating sculptors of the early 20th century with some of his works being lauded for their artistic detail. To this day, he is most famous for his sculptures featuring animals, none more famous than the dancing elephant, which ended up becoming the most recognizable symbol for the Bugatti brand.

Unfortunately, the story of Rembrandt Bugatti didn't last long, as the the First World War sadly drove him to take his life in Paris in 1916, when he was just 31 years old.

Gone too soon, but ultimately, never forgotten. That's Rembrandt Bugatti.
