At the public`s demand, Bugatti launches the roadster model of the Veyron hyper-car, a model also capable of gaining a speed of 407 km/h.
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is not just a model highly expected by collectors, but also a challenge for Bugatti.To keep the characteristics of a super-car, known for extraordinary speed and accelerations, means a very bold goal.
Firstly, if we talk about a targa model, body rigidity and aerodynamics need to be revised so that it can maintain the parameters that the 1000 wild horses need.
And it seems that Bugatti has found the correct prescription for creating channels to direct air flow over the head of occupants without significantly affect the natural flow. Also, for the Grand Sport, several innovative structural solutions were implemented, to preserve the safety and the behavior of the hyper-car. The technical data and more images have been kept secret until the first`s copy unveil ceremony.
The model was first presented on August 16 at Pebble Beach, and that first copy will be put up for auction, giving a lucky guy the possibility to drive it home. The maximum speed of the Bugatti Veyron with polycarbonate roof is 407 km/h, despite the fact that the cabrio is limited to “only” 360 km/h. Obviously, the rigid roof must be left at home if it is removed, so that if rains starts, a soft-top roof is available, but it limits the maximum speed to only 130 km/h. And this is just like standing still.
The price for “standing still” is about 1.4 million euros, and only 150 models will be sold, of which 50 are reserved for loyal customers of the mark.
When you sell only a few hundred cars, I wonder how you select the most loyal customers.
