Also, the Veyron's grille is designed to be reminiscent of the trademark arch grilles on Ettore Bugatti's classic racing cars of the 1920s and '30s, such as the Type 35 and Type 57 - the latter of which was driven to victory in the 1939 24 Heures du Mans by the team of Jean-Pierre Wimille (later a member of the British Special Operations Executive in World War II) and Pierre Veyron.
