VEYRON WITH VIGOR – Bugatti's Vitesse is a fitting grand, finale

摘要

THERE IS NOTHING quite like the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. With 987 hp from its quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine and a claimed top speed of 252 mph, it is not only the most powerful but also the fastest open-top production car in the world. At least it was for a year or two. With the introduction of the drop-top Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, the stakes have been raised again. Packing the same upgraded engine used by the Veyron Super Sport (the world's fastest road car), this final incarnation of the modern-day Bugatti delivers an outrageous 1,183 hp and is said to reach 255 mph flat but in seventh gear.
