Jean-Pierre Wimille took home Bugatti's first victory in the 57G Tank at the famed Le Mans 24-hour race in 1937.
The "JP Wimille" is a powerful car; it hit a top speed of 253 miles per hour in April 2013.
Its sleek profile recalls that of the Tank, but the exterior is composed entirely of carbon.
Its 8-liter W16 motor allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 62 MPH in a mere 2.6 seconds.
The unusual headlights give the car a modern feel.
The car can hold 2 passengers comfortably, and the interior design pays homage to that of the Tank.
No detail was spared when designing the cockpit; even the headrests have been embellished with Wimille's stitched signature.
