The Grand Sport Vitesse (which means ‘speed’ in French) combines the ultimate performance enhancements of the Super Sport coupe with the open-top appeal of the conventional Grand Sport convertible.
Like the Super Sport, the quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 engine in the Grand Sport Vitesse is boosted from 736kW/1250Nm to an almighty 883kW of power and 1500Nm of torque.
The Grand Sport Vitesse will have a top speed in excess of 400km/h, although Bugatti is yet to confirm if its top speed will match the Super Sport’s 431km/h production car record.
Confirmation of the high-performance Veyron convertible has been anticipated since last month’s announcement from Bugatti transmission supplier Ricardo, which revealed a contract extension to continue supplying seven-speed dual-clutch gearboxes to Bugatti for another two years.
Prices are yet to be revealed, but the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse will almost certainly top two million euros ($2.49 million), making it the most expensive production car in the world.
