MOLSHEIM (France): Bugatti is set to unveil the most powerful roadster of all time at the Geneva Motor Show.
With an increase in power up to 1,200hp, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse has entered a new dimension of open-top driving.
Optically aligned to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which holds the current world speed record of 431kph, the Vitesse also impresses with its dynamic driving characteristics.
Bugatti’s engineers have developed the current Grand Sport, with its 1,001 HP and 1,250 Nm, into an even more powerful vehicle.
The Vitesse’s maximum torque is now an impressive 1,500Nm.
The increased power of the new roadster’s 16-cylinder engine is made possible by the four enlarged turbochargers and intercoolers.
The chassis has also been modified to support the power increase.
“The rapid success of the Super Sport convinced us to increase the performance of the Bugatti roadster," said Bugatti president Wolfgang Durheimer.
"Once again, our engineers worked hard to demonstrate that Bugatti is able to constantly redefine the boundaries of what is technically feasible.”
