Bugatti convertible --- 408.84 kph/254 mph
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.....
408.84 kph/254 mph....in a convertible. "Even from kilometers away, the sound of the 8-liter W16 engine suddenly ingesting 1,250 gallons of air and about 2 gallons of premium unleaded a minute is pretty emotional. Bugatti says the waste heat from this engine could warm 10 family homes in the winter." Read more, plus see a video, by clicking here. |

Maybe it just needs more chrome. (Then it would be even faster) LOL

This car is amazing from a technical point of view, the looks are rather interesting though.

Just crazy. I actually don't like the look/design but I wouldn't mind taking one for a test spin. :-)

that corespondent was hilarious. i only wish i could test drive a bugatti, let alone cruise an empty track at 210 mph, knowing full well that it could go much much faster.

They had a Bugatti Veyron at the local Ferrari dealer a couple years ago. He got it on a whim thinking it would be a draw in the front display window. To everyone's surprise it sold in days. What a beast.

I am guessing at that speed a crash helmet would be required, it defeats the point of a convertible ?
It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me though

Waste of $ and fuel, a solution to a non-existing problem.
