2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Super Sport


 
  Review 
 
   

A few years ago, Bugatti had set out to create the world’s fastest convertible car. They wanted "a car that would redefine the boundaries of technology in automotive construction while appealing to the aesthetically inclined and connoisseurs of exceptional automobiles." This idea gave birth to the Veyron Grand Sport which debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours in 2008. Then, in 2010, Bugatti revealed the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport which had already been entered into the Guinness Book of Records with an average top speed of 431 km/h (267 mph). These two Bugatti models have had a successful go around in the automotive world, but at the tail end of the Veyron’s production, Bugatti has decided to smash these two vehicles together for one last and unforgettable special edition. World, meet the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Super Sport.

Just last week, Bugatti CEO, Wolfgang Durheimer, was discussing a future special edition displaying a Super Sport package for the Veyron Grand Sport model - the Veyron’s open top model. We figured this vehicle would be seen in a couple of years, but our spy photographers have already captured the first images of the vehicle entirely free of its camouflage.

UPDATE 01/04/2012: Bugatti has confirmed that the convertible version of the Veyron Super Sport will be making its world debut in March at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

Hit the jump for more details on the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Super Sport.


From these images we can see that the NACA air ducts that usually are on the Super Sport model have been changed for the normal Grand Sport air intakes. This is due to the fact that the NACA air ducts will not work with the open top aspect of the vehicle. Some changes might also be hidden under the minimal camouflage found on the front bumper, but only time will tell what those may be.

3.

The Bugatti Veyron line all carry the same 8.0 liter W16 engine, but the SuperSport’s output is much higher (1200 HP) compared to the Grand Sport’s (1001 HP) due to the use of four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers. We expect Bugatti to follow along this same turbocharged path for the Grand Sport Super Sport, albeit in a tamer way. Durheimer has already said that the 1200 HP out put found in the Super Sport would be too much, but that more than 1,001 HP would be "absolutely possible."

Expect the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Super Sport’s price tag to fall somewhere in the middle of the Grand Sport ($1.9M) and the Super Sport ($2.4M).

A super hero-looking car! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! If you are a race enthusiast and love driving at a full speed, you would definitely like this car! A former Guinness Book of Records holder that can run up to 267 miles-per-hour will give you the thrill you want!

The fact that they give this vehicle a white body color (a boring color I’ll say) does not affect its poise and awesomeness. I am truly impressed with its output performance.

This is one of my dream cars. The unique design will never be obsolete plus it carries a W16 engine. I think the price of this car is worth it even if its a bit expensive.

This looks very aggressive o the road. The exterior detailing is very professional and cool to look at. It’s an eye-catcher for me.

In fairness with Bugatti, they are getting better and better as years go by. The design in the exterior was awesome. It’s enough to have this on the list of most awesome cars.
