Bugatti has posted an image to its official Facebook page which appears to show the next 'Legend' edition of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.

If you cast your minds back to July, you may remember that we told you about the Bugatti Legend "Jean-Pierre Wimille," the first of six special edition Veyrons which were to be named after individuals who helped shape the history of the Bugatti brand. Jean Pierre Wimille won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice at the wheel of a Bugatti.

It isn't clear after whom the new model will be named; in fact, very little information at all is available on the new car. However, if the new model is anything like the Jean-Pierre Wimille (which seems likely) then the new car will get the same 8.0-litre W16, the same 1183bhp power output and the same 2.6 second 0-62mph time as the standard Veyron Vitesse.

This next Legend model will, however, feature a number of aesthetic changes over the standard car, including a new bespoke colour scheme.

The new Legend model will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show later this week.
