The World's fastest convertible: Only 150 will be made, at $2.2 million apiece.
Despite the current economic nose dive, the hugely expensive Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is selling faster than expected. To date, 230 of the expected 300 Veyrons have been sold, for 1.1 million euros (or $1.7 million). Another Bugatti model, a four-seater, won’t go into production before 2010, so in the meantime, Bugatti will keep sales rolling by adding a Veyron roadster, dubbed the Veyron 16.4 GrandSport.
To maintain the stiffness of the structure and provide rollover protection, the A-pillars become even thicker than the coupe’s and the air intakes on top of the car are now equipped with two rollover bars. The GrandSport comes with a clearpolycarbonate targa-style roof. With its top in place, the GrandSport equals the top speed of the Veyron, a dazzling 253 mph.
