Manufacturing variations of the Super Sport will have their prime velocity electronically restricted to 258 mph, so as to defend the tires from certain, expedient death. To attain that increased velocity, the automobile has undergone a pretty vital aerodynamic rework, with the obvious change being the elimination of the steamship-esque silver air intakes. They’ve been changed by a pair of roof-mounted NACA ducts, and the roof itself has been extended rearward to largely obscure the W-16 engine, which itself has been tweaked. The 4 turbos are bigger, as are the intercoolers that feed them. Output is now 1200 hp (up from the cooler-sounding 1001) and 1106 lb-ft of torque (a rise of 184 lb-ft). Higher respiration is facilitated by a new front fascia with larger openings, and there’s a double diffuser within the rear that incorporates twin middle-mounted exhaust ideas rather than the “regular” Veyron’s single, squared-off outlet.
The suspension additionally has been modified, with longer spring journey, stiffer anti-roll bars, and new dampers. Bugatti claims to be using a brand new construction for the carbon-fiber monocoque that increases torsional rigidity whereas reducing weight. And talking of carbon fiber, Bugatti says it will offer the Tremendous Sport with all of its body panels clear-coated to showcase the weave. The report-setting automobile, seen right here, makes prolonged use of the cleared carbon, underlining it with orange accents; the first five Tremendous Sports (that are already spoken for) are outfitted to match, referred to as the World Document Edition.
About that name: Super Sport is a suffix that has historically been associated with Chevy’s SS cars, and not too long ago we’ve seen variations of it applied to Bentleys (the Continental Supersports) and Jaguars (XJ Supersports). Based mostly on this newfound popularity, we’re declaring “Tremendous Sport” to be the brand new “Sport.” Expect the Koreans to co-decide it next.
Overview:
The Bugatti Grand Sport is the topless version of Bugatti’s 1001-hp 16.4 Veyron masterpiece. No more than 150 will be built—ever, for the world—making the Grand Sport a sight to behold, whether standing still or blasting through the air at its 253-mph top speed. Not enough?

Cabin doesn’t feel like two million bucks, sounds great but not as good as some other exotics, bewilderingly expensive.
