Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse

摘要

7.6.12, Barcelona, Spain Bugatti celebrates the Veyron's swansong with a 255mph drop-top. Laudable engineering showcase or irrelevant folly? Only your wallet can decide. IT WOULD BE easy to mock the Bugatti Veyron in any form. After all, who in the real world needs a lOOObhp supercar that can tick off a 60mph sprint from a standstill in the blink of an eye and costs more than ￡1 million? This extreme Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is surely ripe for mockery, then, delivering as it does 1183bhp, 0-62mph in 2.6sec and a price tag of ￡1.4 million (plus taxes) - and all with a detachable roof that surely screams 'look at me' rather than 'look at this ultimate piece of engineering'. If you are one of those inclined to mock, consider these words from Bugatti's lead driver - and ex-F1 racer - Pierre-Henri Raphanel: "The only people who don't consider the Veyron worthy of the 'ultimate' car tag are people who have never driven it. There are many cars that can do some of the things the Veyron does for a fraction of the price, but none that can do all of the things it does."
