Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport at Frankfurt

As everyone was scampering around the Frankfurt Auto Show trying to steal a glimpse of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L'Or Blanc, we caught the proverbial 'diamond in rough', per say, of the French supercars chilling at the premier German auto event.The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is the convertible version of the fastest production car in the world.

We've already seen the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L'Or Blanc ("White Gold"), but that hasn't stopped the company from showcasing it in Frankfurt.
Power comes from a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter sixteen-cylinder engine with 1,001 PS (736 kW / 987 hp) and 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft) of torque.

The newest model in Bugatti’s supercar division lineup, the Grand Sport, doesn’t seem to be a success and while its older brother, the Super Sport, was a huge hit with its incredible top speed and acceleration time, this one managed to sell just 42 units out if the 150 available.

As a reminder, the Veyron Grand Sport, the world’s fastest convertible, is powered by an 8.0 liter W16 engine which is delivering 1.001 horsepower, pushing the supercar to a top speed of 407 km/h with its roof on, while as a cabrio, the top speed is limited to “only” 360 km/h.
