Bugatti Veyron Targa?
When you build the world’s ultimate car, where do you go from there? Topless of course. Bugatti has today confirmed the company is working on a so-called “targa” version of its Veyron supercar, which should be available next year.
The new Veyron will be available with a removable hardtop “because there was no other solution which could fit with its safety cage,” a former Bugatti executive told AutoNews.
The roof won’t be automatic either, it will either on or off as there is no storage space left in the car.
Little else is known about the Veyron convertible, logic would dictate that it will be priced above the standard model but may possibly be slightly slower to 100km, it will also not reach its top speed of 407km/h with the roof off.
Although Bugatti had originally promised to build only 300 Veyrons, it’s unknown if these Targa versions will count towards the total figure. CarAdvice is also aware of other variants currently in the works.
Make sure you read our Veyron review and watch our video review.

*****PRIMO!****** [As usual! :-)]
Looking at the lap times @ Nurb. in Germany, i am rather surprised how SLOW this 1000+BHP vehicle is.
VW know that, its why they did/nt allow TopGear to track test it.
A Ultima GTR is THE quickest registered track-car on the planet.
Maybe C/A could do a story on Ultima Co.?
Cheers

It’s only got a slow lap time at Nurburgring because it can’t carry enough fuel for a flat out lap
“it will also not reach its top speed of 407km/h with the roof on.”
You mean roof off, I suspect.

I thought flat out it would empty the tank in 12 minutes? Because it would get around there a hell of a lot faster than 12 minutes.

It may be able to get around one lap in less than 12 but its needs to be a flying lap therefore it needs to do 2 laps unless it gets filled up a bit before so t can get a rolling start.

Of all the cars to ‘targa-ize’…
…still, ten years ago the idea of a 1000Nm supercar built by Volkswagen would also have seemed silly.
