The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car (WRC) has officially made its public debut at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show.
Power comes from the familiar yet still impressive 7.9-liter W16 quad-turbo engine that produces 1,200 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque. It is mated to a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox, which allows the supercar to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and hit a tested top speed of 408.84 km/h, making it the fastest convertible in the world.
Only 8 units will be built and pricing starts at $2.60 million (€2 million) before taxes.
"After much anticipation, the Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car was shared with the world at the Shanghai Auto Show. This future motoring icon drew crowds and looks of admiration in equal measure, with all in attendance struck by its striking dual-colour scheme in black and Arancia orange and impeccable detail throughout. Naturally, the car stole the show, not to mention a few hearts too," the French automaker said.
