Exclamation Bugatti 16.4 Veyron Grand Sport





The last preparations are running at full speed. Two more weeks and then Bugatti Automobiles will present their new Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport for the very first time to the public.

It will be a roadster with a unique, removable roof. The open-top Grand Sport allows driver and passenger to feel even closer to the car’s breathtaking power. Those who consider the wind in their hair and the roar of a thoroughbred racing engine in their ears to be essential to true driving enjoyment will find their perfect motor car in this new Bugatti. Even with the top on the Grand Sport does not loose any of its fascination and conveys to the passenger a new exciting panoramic view. 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 the roadster offers the same extremely high levels of performance and passive safety as the coupe version.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport will be presented to the public in the afternoon of August 16, 2008, at the lawn in front of the Pebble Beach Lodge. The very first build slot for this new car, to be built in Spring 2009, will be auctioned the next day at the renown Gooding auction at the Equestrian Center at Pebble Beach.

i can see thier official release statment:

"coming to a dubai road near you soon, if your in dubai, and only dubai, because we wouldnt sell very many veyrons if it wasnt for dubai, and we are moving our factory to dubai to cut down on transportation costs, and closing down every dealership and expanding out dubai dealership to hold more veyrons, because dubai is our best freind"

I wonder how much more power that W16 can hold. Is it possible to tune the ECU and raise the boost for more power? Like say up it to 1600hp and raise the top speed to 300mph. Oh man, that would be epic.

What turbos does it have?

looks to me like 4 big 16g's...not huge turbo's but when you have 4 at 18psi stock that isnt a problem.
