BUGATTI VEYRON GRAND SPORT VITESSE

You know the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport convertible and the Veyron Super Sport of 1200 horses. Now up to speed the Veyron Grand Sport, a mixture of these two versions of the incredible supercar Molsheim.

Aesthetically, the speed shows the lines of the Grand Sport by appropriating some details of the Super Sport as the two huge tailpipes, the two power domes for the engine vent or vents and optics.

But the feat is good at technical level. The engineers of the firm Alsatian have indeed managed to graft the W16 of 1200 hp and 1500 Nm of torque and the turbo 4 Super Sport under the hood of the Grand Sport.

This huge block has also enabled the Veyron to reach 431 km / h maximum speed, record certified by the Guinness Book of Records. To maximize the performance of its speed Veyron Grand Sport, Bugatti optimized chassis.

In terms of performance, all should result in a 0 to 100 km / h literally engulfed in 2.6 seconds and a top speed limited to 415 km / h as the Super Sport. Perhaps the French manufacturer will reserve us a little surprise about it.
