The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport was first introduced to the public last year at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California. The response was positive and now Bugatti starts the production of this roadster at Molsheim, France.
The production version of the Grand Sport is limited to only 150 units, the first 50 units of which will be sold to existing registered Bugatti customers.
The Veyron will become the fastest and most powerful roadster in the world. It is powered with the same 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine that makes 747kW (1,015hp) and 1,250Nm of peak torque. With the top on the car will reach the standard top speed of 407km/h, while in topless mode the acceleration will be only 360km/h.
Some features of the hard top that are different include a wider windscreen and daytime running lights. Since the roof has to be removed completely, that is to say it is not attached to the car in any way, if the rain should catch the car while it is some distance away from home then a soft-top roof can be installed. The soft top will limit the speed of the car to 130km/h.
There are some new equipment added to Grand Sport including a 2.7-inch monitor with a rear view camera and a Puccini sound system.
