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."

SearChart · 23 April 2013, 01:10 AM

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

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

I knew I should have bought one when it was released 10 years ago, I could have saved myself a Million dollars

Frogman4me · 23 April 2013, 01:40 AM

Vroooooom!

nick c · 23 April 2013, 03:05 AM

Love it

psv · 23 April 2013, 03:07 AM

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

withthesword · 23 April 2013, 03:52 AM

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.

with the top down O_o

Maybe you could find a good lease deal on it.

Maybe you can get a good price if you buy a "fleet" of them!!!

Take it easy.....leo

dalip · 23 April 2013, 08:55 PM

Now that's awesome...

Dr.Brian · 24 April 2013, 12:14 AM

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.

stockae92 · 24 April 2013, 05:27 AM

The Veyron is closer to a plane than a car ... :D

BH13GMT · 24 April 2013, 06:33 AM

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.
