Re: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport
Bugatti execs first confirmed back in April that the Veyron supercar would eventually spawn an even more exclusive roofless open-top model, and today the first official images and details of the car have been revealed. The new roofless Veyron will be called the 'Grand Sport' and it's scheduled to make its world debut for the first time at this year's Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance in the U.S. on August 16.
The Veyron Grand Sport will feature a removable roof and a number of added features exclusive to the new model. The design of the new model will also incorporate a number of structural changes designed to ensure the roadster offers similar performance and passive safety levels as the coupe. Bugatti is yet to confirm if the Grand Sport will be able to reach the same 253mph (407km/h) top speed as the coupe, but the added weight of the reinforcements are expected to come at a cost to performance.
According to Bugatti's communication chief, Georges Keller, the roofless 'targa' option was the only one available to Bugatti because there was no other solution which could fit with the car's safety cage. While the roof will be removable, there will be no storage space for it within the car, so the cover will have to be taken off at home. Most low-volume supercars use targa panels because of the low cost of development and to retain the structural integrity of the chassis.
Bugatti is yet to reveal how many open-top Veyron Grand Sports will be produced and when the first cars will be available. The very first build slot for this new car, to be built in Spring 2009, will be auctioned the day after the concept version is first shown in Pebble Beach.
Bugatti has previously released a number of special edition Veyrons, including the Pur Sang, the Sang Noir, the Pegaso, and the Fbg par Hermès.
