Bugatti unveils its new roadster, the Grand Sport

What would happen if the most fantastic car ever built got a topless version? There is no need to be creative to answer that. Just look at the picture below and find out the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the roadster version of the greatest automobile in history:



There could not be a better place for the official presentation than Pebble Beach, the sanctuary for classic cars, past or future ones. The world will see the car in aluminium and carbon-fibre next August 16, in the lawn in front of the Pebble Beach Lodge. The first Grand Sport will be auctioned at Gooding auction at the Equestrian Center, but it will only be delivered in the first quarter of 2009.

No technical information has been released so far, but the car should keep its amazing power even with the higher weight, added by the "innovative structural solutions" the car needed to keep the same body rigidity offered by the coupé. Slower or not, this car will surely be more expensive than the "regular" Veyron, a vehicle that already is the most expensive one for sale in the world, at 1 million EUR.
