Damac Properties
will launch the world’s first Bugatti-branded homes at this week’s Cityscape
Global exhibition, the Dubai developer announced on Sunday.
The limited edition
collection, to be named ETTORE 971 Bugatti Styled Villas, will be located in
the 55 million square foot Akoya Oxygen master development, overlooking the Tiger
Woods-designed Trump World Golf Club, Dubai.
ETTORE 971 is
named after Ettore Bugatti, the founder of the famous French sports car brand,
while the ‘971’ refers to the international dialling code for the UAE.
The seven-bedroom
villas were conceptualised by the designers behind the brand and will be priced
from AED36 million ($9.8 million).
A special
element of the design will be an indoor vehicle display area, with glass panels
through to the living quarters, so owners can admire their luxury vehicle at
all times.
“We know that
many of our loyal customers are huge fans of the Bugatti super sports car brand
and the opportunity to live in the world’s first villas styled in Bugatti’s
design language featuring key codes of the brand’s DNA is a unique opportunity
to experience this fantastic brand in a whole new way,” said Ziad El Chaar, managing
director of Damac Properties.
“The added
touch of being able to see your car from many areas of the living quarters adds
to the immersive design incorporated throughout these truly luxurious homes,”
he added.
The Bugatti
Veyron holds two world speed records, for the fastest production road car
reaching a top speed of 431.072 km per hour in 2010 and for the fastest
production roadster driving 408.84 km per hour with the roof off in 2013.
“We are
delighted to be working with Damac Properties on these unique living concepts,
which reflect the key design codes of the Bugatti brand,” said Massimiliano
Ferrari, managing director of Bugatti Brand Lifestyle.
