What's Happening?
Bugatti has introduced a unique one-off vehicle, the 'Fly Bug,' as part of its Sur Mesure customization program. This vehicle is one of four closely related cars developed in collaboration with a long-time Bugatti collector. The design of the 'Fly Bug'
draws inspiration from the dragonfly, emphasizing lightness, movement, and intricate detail. The project was a collaborative effort between the collector and Bugatti's head of design, Frank Heyl, with further refinement by Bugatti's Color, Materials, Finish (CMF) team in Berlin. The car features a custom color called 'Dragonfly Blue,' which shifts between blue and turquoise, and includes a new ellipse pattern on the exterior. Inside, the vehicle showcases a layered material combining patterned leather over Alcantara, creating a 3D effect. The Bugatti Macaron badge is integrated into the side design, marking a first for the brand.
