With the partnership between Bugatti Königliche Porzellan-manufaturer Berlin (KPM), the famous manufacturer focuses on the ability to create pieces of art car. The "white gold" celebrates its world premiere with an exclusive unveiling ceremony on June 30, 2011 Workshops KPM in Berlin. This unique version of a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is the first car ever to wear the finest porcelain in his body and in his cabin. Impresses with an exterior design abstraction.

The nods security guard, the door opens. In between the walls of pure white spotlights illuminate a Bugatti Grand Sport, which is placed in the center of the spacious room. We went into the hidden world of Bugatti Design Studio. The team around the head of Bugatti Design Anscheidt Achim works in a calm and focused as they walk around his latest object of desire. Sometimes they stop, take a step to the left and right, falling again and again, looking intensely at the Grand Sport from different angles. It analyzes the reflections of light in the body of the car before returning to a time to get a general impression of their work. Thin stream of blue lines on the shiny white exterior of the fastest convertibles in the world. It feels like visiting the study of an American pop-art artist.
 




Create the name of "L'Or Blanc". Is a car that redefines the art design. If you look through the eyes of a designer is to recognize that is a reflection of the lights in the study of life that attracts their interest. Positioned below the headlights, the car is in an ideal environment, which offers superb image reflections. Study and invisible light is reflected in the edges of the shapes of the body of the Grand Sport. In several stages, each a reflection of the line has been translated into the technical Bugatti on the camera body, which is pre-painted in vibrant white. They use a tape made of the accuracy of the Japanese soft tissue that can be easily removed by hand. And 'fully complies with the sulfur-containing clay. It extends to a certain extent, these tapes are "aligned" pieces up to five meters in length the outside of the car.
 




If the line does not fully meet the designers intended, could repair the initial temperature of the strip line. This process is repeated until the final line is the correct tension and character. Among the style of the steps, the team will examine the car to assess the relationship between the distance between the spacing. This is also the best way to ensure that the flow lines from one side of the body size of the roof and the rear on the opposite side. Even minor deficiencies will be renewed with care, because the ultimate goal is perfection unparalleled. Finally, the section lines through the perfect form as a grid of light reflections on the Bugatti. In the course of several weeks, the team of designers to develop the final composition of dynamic curves and delicate lines, which take place in automotive work of art, such as snakes, the Italian Stelvio Pass.

"The White Gold" is a testament to the opportunities of the artisans in the two brands. The characteristic structure of the lines not only reflects the extent of hand painting on porcelain, but also the modeling process in the design automobile, "said Achim Anscheidt.
 




In the next step, Bugatti paint experts focus on achieving another masterpiece. For three weeks, every inch of the marked lines are filled by hand with the characteristic blue color. In addition, the body receives five coats of clear varnish. Variables gradient and powerful of the two colors is generated because the team used a combination of strips of different widths. While the blue lines dominate in the blanks at the bottom of convertibility, the inverse relationship of the colors on the way to the ceiling so that the target is even more intense high. Twelve items, made the manufacture of fine porcelain and headquartered in Berlin, complete the aesthetic vision of the special Grand Sport.
 




We will change the location and visit the workshops of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur in the heart of Berlin. Following a tradition for some 250 years, more than 170 artisans and specialists in this place to produce objects of value, which is now an expression of art in porcelain. Plaster molds by hand required to make unique porcelain objects that appear on the exterior and interior of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport "white gold", and with amazing attention to detail, each mold created and optimized in a week-long process of several research and development. The team will conduct a series of tests dedicated to raw materials to verify the effectiveness of the shrinkage of about 16 percent during cooking and drying. Finally porcelain items perfect for the components of Bugatti.
 




"Porcelain is one of the strongest materials, but the level of quality depends heavily on the quality of the manufacturing process. We had to ensure that the inserts fit perfectly with the filler, it was a challenge for us to accurately calculate the shrinkage of the porcelain, "says Thomas Wenzel, head of design at KPM.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, "The OR Blanc" is the world's first car should be equipped with porcelain, and the development team has invested a lot of effort to ensure that each article will be able to perform all driving situations, the most efficient vehicle on the market. Prior to their application in the car, the porcelain panels have been extensively studied in the field of automotive safety and quality, to optimize the protection of passengers in the event of an accident.
 




As part of the exterior, porcelain inlays for the center of wheel marks, fuel cap and oil cap and signature of BADGE "EB" on the back. Their glossy white gloss paint combines a brilliant finish to suggest that the car was covered with a thin layer of porcelain, too.

"At first, this seems to be an original idea of ​​using porcelain in a car, especially in the smallest convertible in the world," said Dr. Stefan Brungs, Director of Sales and Marketing, Bugatti Automobiles. "But that's what Bugatti means the implementation of exceptional ideas while working in the capital in the quality and aesthetics that allows us to continue the legacy of Ettore Bugatti, who loved experimenting with new materials .."
 




In addition to the signed porcelain inlays on the sides of the center console, a mosaic of fine porcelain is attached to the back between the seats. As with the exterior elements of porcelain this is the relief of the famous elephant in a standing position, which was created by sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti. His brother Ettore had used in the original project to build the mascot for the radiator Bugatti Royale. This elephant is synonymous with the brand today. Located at the top of the center console, there is a fine porcelain plate, with edges finished in a polished diamond exclusive - a technique that was applied by the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin for the first time. The dish can be removed and valuable part of a picnic set has been designed exclusively by KPM Bugatti cars.

"The impetus for this association comes from the famous Rembrandt Bugatti elephant," says Jörg Woltmann, owner of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM) and the car enthusiast. "At first we wanted to integrate the sculpture in our product range then thought about the possibility of a complete service, and finally a synthesis of ideas led to the Great exceptional game." Woltmann is excited about the "white gold". "A number of superlatives associated with porcelain Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin Königliche: .. they say is the most beautiful landscape, which has the worst weight and white tone is now also the fastest of porcelain"
 




Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, "L'Or Blanc," presented in Berlin, is one of a kind creation. However, the partnership is to continue, and the Bugatti engineers had a lot of inspiration from painting on porcelain, offering many new opportunities for design. The price Bugatti OR Blanc is 1.65 million.
