FactBugatti cut the roof off its fastest car, then proved the open-top Veyron could still top 254 mph.
The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is the targa-top version of the Veyron Super Sport, first unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Its W16 makes 1,200 PS (1,183 hp) at 6,400 rpm, and on normal roads it is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph). In April 2013 a Vitesse reached 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) at Ehra-Lessien, making it the fastest open-top production car. 92 were produced, the last of them the "La Finale" car shown at Geneva in March 2015.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Bugatti built five Super Sports with the speed limiter switched off entirely, the only Veyrons sold without one.
Bugatti shipped the Grand Sport with a spare umbrella as its emergency roof if the main top was left behind.
Even tire service is exotic: Veyron wheels can only be fitted with their special Michelins in France, and the job alone costs $70,000.
The Veyron's top speed of 253 mph was locked behind a separate key, so the car itself decided when you were allowed to see it.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
