Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Grand Sport Pictures and Specifications

Looking to experience what it feels like to go 223mph with the wind in your hair?  Look no further than the Veyron Grand Sport.  Bugatti decided to go with a targa top because of the instability of a full convertible at top speed.  This decision allows for the Grand Sport to reach the same 253 mph top speed of the original Veyron with the roof attached. A very limited production run of 150 makes the Veyron Grand Sport one of the most coveted super cars in the world.

The Bugatti Veyron was designed to take the top speed crown from the Mclaren F1 with a 252 mph top speed but was limited to 218 MPH due to unsafe stability at higher speeds.  If you still wish to try and achieve this top speed you can but it requires a special key to put the car in "top speed" mode. You'll also need special equipment provided by Bugatti. The Veyron held the record until September 13, 2007 when the SSC Ultimate Aero TT broke it with a 255 MPH run.

Nothing like going on top. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport achieved a record 267.91mph at Volkswagen’s proving grounds knocking off the SSC Ultimate Aero TT (256.14mph) for fastest production automobile.
