Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport production begins

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport


The luxury car builder Bugatti’s plant in Molsheim has officially begun production on the ultra exclusive Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport model. The limited edition open air super car will only have a run of 150 units, 30 of which are already spoken for.

Bugatti is very selective about inviting members of the public into their ownership club; only the most exclusive clientele will have the chance to buy one. Just like the fixed roof version, the Grand Sport is powered by the same quad turbo W16 that develops 1001 HP. The targa top Veyeron is capable of hitting a top speed of 252 MPH, or 223 MPH with out the roof. My favorite feature is the special umbrella that can replace the roof panel in the event of a sudden rainstorm, however going over 200 MPH with that in place is probably not recommended.

The first deliveries will be made to customers this July at a price of 1.4 Million euro, about $1.9 Million.
