2009 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

BUGATTI VEYRON GRAND SPORT

The main challenge in developing the new Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport with removable roof resulted from the unique structure of the fixed-roof Bugatti Veyron. An optimum combination of rigidity and lightweight engineering ensures the monocoque passenger cell of the original model is extremely strong while weighing an absolute minimum - it is a central element of the vehicles structure. As the roof is an integral part of this, removing it meant the load paths had to be completely redesigned to maintain the vehicles rigidity and crash safety, and to offer additional protection from side impacts and rolling.

When the roof is closed, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport can reach 407 km/h, while speeds of up to 360 km/h are possible with roof off. Should it rain, an innovative folding roof stored in the luggage compartment can be opened up like an umbrella at any time. When this folding roof is in place, the car can travel at up to 130 km/h.
Along with moisture-resistant, backstitched leather, a range of new equipment features has been added to the interior, including a reversing camera with 2.7-inch monitor in the rear-view-mirror, and the “Puccini” sound system with digital signal processor.

2011 Bugatti Veyron 16 4 Super Sport

BUGATTI VEYRON 16.4 SUPER SPORT

The Bugatti Veyron is not the most beautiful or the most elegant car in the world, but honestly, iy doesn’t really matter. This car wasn’t built to catch your eye, but to stop your heart with its speed. Compared to the standard Veyron, the Super Sport version gets expanded and reshaped front air intakes, a revised back with double diffuser, and a centrally arranged exhaust system.

The Veyron Super Sport’s body has been fine-tuned to improve aerodynamic efficiency and maintain perfect balance in every situation. The all-carbon monocoque features a new fiber structure that ensures maximum torsion rigidity and passive safety. The skin is made entirely of carbon-fiber composites, and upon request, it is also available in 10% clear lacquered exposed carbon. A distinctive feature of the new supercar are two NACA ducts integrated into the roof and used to cool the engine.

The first five cars – known as the World Record Edition – appeared in a special black exposed carbon and orange finish.

Needless to say, the most impressive feature of the new Veyron Super Sport lies under its hood. The standard Veyron is considered one of the fastest vehicles on the planet, but things change quickly and Bugatti has to keep changing it up to keep up with the ever-growing group of high speed machines.

For that, Bugatti engineers have used four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers in order to boost the power of the 16-cylinder engine. The result is an output of 1200 HP and a peak torque of 1106 lbs-ft. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is being made in 2.5 seconds, and the top speed has already been recorded at an impressive 267 mph. That being said, Bugatti announced a top speed of 257 mph for their supercar, and this is the version customers ended up getting when they placed their order (this decision has been made in order to protect the tires).

After the success of the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Bugatti did not have to wait long to reach that Molsheim first applications from one version to 882 kW (1200 hp) of the current model Grand Sport. "We were immediately thrilled by the idea of ​​giving the Grand Sport model the power of the Super Sport, previously limited to 1,001 hp, and thus to enter the convertible into a new dimension," says Wolfgang Dürheimer. The President of Bugatti Automobiles SAS continues: "Our team has managed to transpose the propulsion system of the passenger vehicle the worlds most powerful in this convertible sports car, taking into account all the parameters of handling and aerodynamics. We are proud to present to the Geneva Motor Show, on the occasion of the first World Grand Sport Speed ​​CV 1200, the convertible fastest of all time. "
 

Sports car made with elegant art, the classic Grand Sport always appears naturally in the program. After the great success of The White Gold (a partnership with the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin), Bugatti is working on further cooperation and exceptional variants.

In Geneva, the automakers most exclusive in the world presents a version of the Grand Sport featuring an improved version of carbon - for the first time brown. The virtuosity of the manufacturing process can leave reflected the apparent carbon while giving full expression hue.

Presented on the Grand Sport in Geneva, carbon fiber parts (hoods, rear body, front spoiler and side skirts) aspect "Brown" almost reminiscent of bronze reflections according to incident light. The contrast is provided by the side panels of the Grand Sport, to the air intakes rear polished aluminum. Inside, the sports car is coordinated to the exterior with a leather color "Gaucho" and dark seams (color "Coffee"). It costs 1.79 million euros.

2008 Bugatti Veyron 16 4 Pur Sang Edition

BUGATTI VEYRON 16.4 PUR SANG EDITION

Visitors to the Atelier in Molsheim are always intrigued to see the Bugatti Veyron’s high-tech components being meticulously assembled into an automotive work of art. Watching the car coming together, coupled with an admiration for the technical beauty of its structure, gave the designers the idea of finishing the car in its pure material configuration – meaning no color coating. The result is the EB 16.4. Veyron “Pur Sang”, a two-tone study of pure materialness showing the car’s true essentials: carbon and aluminum.

The carbon monocoque holds the engine plus the passenger cell, while the polished aluminum panelling is enhanced by reflections in the sculpted bodywork. Interestingly, the rawness of the materials even more strongly highlights the dual character of this car: performance power coupled with cruising comfort, structure and body, dark and light.
A closer look at the details reveals the technical logic behind this stylistic appearance. The sophisticated monocoque contains all the core structural components, including the W16 engine, the passenger cell, the crash box and the linkages to the wheels. It is this purpose-driven fundament that is visible as the center of the car in clear-coated carbon fiber.
The balanced graphic appearance is also visible when looking down onto the car from above. These qualities take on a distinct appearance – almost like that found in a Mondrian painting. As its pur sang label suggests, this individualized customer car shares the same kind of DNA as that of classic cars from the Bugatti past: the “Atalante”, the Type 55, the Type 41 “Royal” all had an unmistakable and characteristic graphic signature. It is this precise division of performance components and body paneling – in this form – that makes the EB 16.4. Veyron “Pur Sang” unique in the supercar world.
