It needs no presentation! But is not every day you have the chance to see a black-matte Veyron. This one has been spotted in Dubai (and why am I not surprised!) and OMG! it looks amazing!
Do you need more details about the Veyron? Yes, you are right, you know them all already. So, I’ll just shut up and let you enjoy the photos!
The Targa version of the Veyron supercar will make its world debut this August at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. According to some Inside Line sources production will begin in early 2009.
The Targa will get a removable hardtop, as well as an expandable fabric cover that clips into place. The chassis will be reinforced, and top speed will be limited to 217 mph.
The Targa will be built in limited numbers, around 75 or 80 units each priced with $250,000 above the Veyron’s price.

Earlier today we reported that Bugatti will unveil a new model by 2011 or 2012. Now we bring you a new design, yes we know this won’t be the future model from Bugatti, but it looks pretty impressive.
Designed by Greg Hall of Orlando, the car looks like the many that are in the market or are about to hit the road pretty soon. It has a very futuristic look to it and apart from the skeleton; there is nothing substantial in regards to what hides beneath the hood for now. The design seems compact, elegant and obviously well crafted using the available CG technique.
What does the future bring for Bugatti after the 300 Veyron will be all sold out? According to Franz-Josef Paefgen, CEO of Bugatti a new model will come in 2011 or 2012.
"The next three years we think about new members for the Veyron-family," said Paefgen. "But we won’t see a completely new model until 2011 or 2012. The newcomer must fit into the Bugatti history, but also stay faithful to the Veyron. A totally different direction is not an option."
The new model will be an extreme one, but not necessary a performance one. Bugatti always tested the borders and looks for new ideas to surpass the competition.
Also he said that the CO2 is an "extremely complex problem" and that "Bugatti should seek a significant CO2 reduction. But if this solutions will ceases Bugatti to exist then the company will not work on CO2 emission. "I can not imagine that these cars disappear," said Paefgen.
Bugatti announced that the new limited edition "Sang Noir" will be limited to only 15 units, each featuring a special black finish that extends to the aluminum air intakes that rise above the roofline, giving the car a particularly mean appearance.
The Sang Noir Veyron also features more bare carbonfibre on show than on the standard Veyron, while inside there’s the option of a carbon-finish dash and a unique orange color for the leather.

On today’s TopGear blog, Andy Wilman, the executive producer of Top Gear, is telling us that Clarkson was bluffing when he told some "socialist hippies at a book festival" that he scored a 186 mph on public roads with the Veyron: "Now the thing is, you’d need a frigging Tardis to do 186 mph in the Limehouse Link". For those of you speaking proper US English, it means that it is impossible. We think it is very possible as the tunnel is 1.1 mile and the Veyron can reach the quarter mile in 10.2 seconds at 143 mph.
Anyways, Mr Wilman now blames everybody for harassing Jeremy, aka Jezza. "we’re in danger of becoming a country where it’s a crime to be fatuous, to make mischief or just practice the fine art of talking bollocks." said the producer.
So who got the biggest ’bollocks’, Jeremy or his producer, who’s trying to convince us that Jeremy cannot push the Bugatti to 186mph under one mile :)
Now, when everyone’s attention was focused on finding as much info as possible about the Targa version of the Veyron supercar, Bugatti launched a new special edition, only one month away after the launch of the special edition Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès.
The new edition, called Veyron Sang Noir is, dedicated to the Bugatti Atlantique 57S, and it features many special design elements, including a black exterior and a orange interior.
. The vehicle features re-designed front grille, a black background for the headlights, side mirrors featuring same colour as the front grille, an entire black-painted body, an astonishing interior and custom alloy wheels featuring also black colour.

Bugatti has confirmed the production of the Targa version of the Veyron supercar. It will be unveiled at a major motor show in 2009. It will be limited to only 80 units, each priced at £900,000 (around $1,777,000).
The Veyron Targa will be powered by a 987bhp 6.0-liter W16 engine. The hard top will be removable and there will be no space for it to be stored inside the car.
To cope with the loss of structural rigidity brought about by the removal of the roof, engineers will reinforce the Veyron’s chassis – a process which is likely to add to the model’s already hefty 1,950kg kerb-weight. As a result, the Targa won’t quite match the performance of the coupe version – the maximum speed will be limited to 217mph. That’s still quicker than the Pagani Zonda Roadster, though.
