At a price of 340,000 GBP it wasn't going to be anything but exclusive. Five aluminium chassis pre-production prototypes were built, followed by eight with composite chassis, before ninety-five production models were rolled out.

A slightly stripped down and tuned up 'SS' model was also built for racing. Differences included a fixed spoiler as compared to the GT's elevating device. An aluminium dash and different wheels were also featured. Only thirty one production SS's were made, with five partially completed cars in the factory when Bugatti suffered bankruptcy.

Now owned by VW.
