| New open-topped supercar | 2008 Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance | Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport |
The rumour mills have ground themselves into a frenzy regarding a new open-topped Bugatti Veyron and finally we have the details. The new Veyron derivative is to be called the 16.4 Grand Sport and it will be unveiled in two weeks time.
Although there are few sheet metal changes to the Grand Sport, the roof now appears to be a removable glass item, which should allow the occupants to hear the full fury of the quad-turbocharged W16 engine behind them.
Other details are scarce, other than the early 2009 production start date. Interested customers can take place in an auction in Pebble Beach to 'win' the honour of owning the first car off the line. The price? A lot. Plus some.
