I know I know I know.....go on and say it


Bugatti... where do I begin? I read somewhere back in April that the Veyron supercar would eventually spawn an even more exclusive roofless model. Was that just my fantacy with the supercar?


The new roofless Veyron, otherwise called the ‘Grand Sport’ and scheduled to make its world debut at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance in California.


This supercar will feature a removable roof and other added features exclusive to the new model. Its unique design will also incorporate a number of structural changes designed to make sure it offers similar performance and passive safety levels as a coupe.


The 'Grand Sport' will feature the same 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine we all crave for and 1001hp (746kW) output as the regular hard top and accelerate from 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds reaching a top speed of 252mph (406km/h)!


Bugatti is yet to reveal how many open-top Veyron Grand Sports will be produced and when the first cars will be available. Having said that, production is expected to begin in the first half of next year.
