A little bit of info for those who aren't quite sure what this is. This is the fourth model of the six-model "Les Légendes de Bugatti" series, each one is a specially detailed Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse dedicated to the most important people in Bugatti's history.

I still don't get why they named a car after Ettore's younger brother

It has to do with the elephant sculpture that sits on the Royale (one of the more famous models from Bugatti) being cast from one of Rembrandt's works. It's a possible tribute/remembrance to him for the sculpture as Rembrandt committed suicide at 31.

Does it cut off its door mirror in tribute to the artist?

If it was dedicated to the correct artist in question....

And this would be the latest (the fifth model) Bugatti Edition, Bugatti Veyron Elizabeth junek

Elizabeth Junek was a Czech female racer, born in 1900, she was considered to be one of the most successful female racing drivers in all of Grand Prix racing history. Often partnered with her husband before his untimely death, the duo raced a Bugatti Type 30, a Type 35B, along with a Mercedes.

The black and yellow Veyron will be limited to only three editions, and will be the fifth series of six in the Legend Edition Veyron lineup.
