So with the world economy going to sh*t, they bring out an even more expensive version of the car

Hate to think how much is that going to be???

and it's not a PS, it will be officially launched in 2 weeks

In Summer 2008, as a response to customer request, Bugatti is introducing a new model – the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, a roadster with a unique, removable roof.

The world’s most exclusive car combines the ultimate in performance with the pleasure of open-top driving. The sophisticated design of its bodywork and aerodynamic components directs the airflow over the heads of driver and passenger so they feel no draught.

As well as a large number of new equipment features, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport also incorporates innovative structural solutions designed to ensure that the roadster offers the same extremely high levels of passive safety as the coupe.

In keeping with Ettore Bugatti’s exclusive product philosophy, many design features that make this possible are unique in contemporary automotive engineering.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport is the world’s fastest and most exciting roadster, and will be displayed to the public for the first time on the afternoon of August 16, 2008, outside The Lodge at Pebble Beach.

The highest bidder will have the opportunity to specify their new car at the factory in Molsheim/Alsace by bidding on the first customer car at Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach Auction on August 17th.

Did I read somewhere a few months ago that the targa top Veyron will have a 186mph limiter? Similar to the standard Veyron, but which couldn't be turned off on the targa car.

Still I doubt this will stop people buying them. I suspect most owners don't take them the good side of 200mph anyhow.

So will this cut into the proposed number of Veyron builds (that top gear reported that VW were taking a couple of million dive on) or will it be seen as a different car?
