Bugatti targa-top Veyron will be more expensive, exclusive
Click above for high-res gallery of our time with the Bugatti Veyron
We already know that Bugatti's second vehicle in the modern era will be a targa-top version of the Veyron 16.4, but AutoExpress has revealed that production of the open-air exotica will be limited to just 80 units compared to the coupe's comparatively ample run of 300 cars. The cost of letting the sun shine through your Veyron's dome will also be more prohibitive, with a price tag creeping up on £900,000 compared to the £840,000 cost of the coupe. As with most open-air cars, the Veyron's chassis will be made beefier to cope with the loss of rigidity caused by a big hole in its roof. As such, the new car will weigh more than than the record-setting original. Top speed will therefore be relatively limited, if one can call a 217-mph top speed limited. Then again, as we learned while driving the car ourselves, every car is limited compared to the original Veyron.

John, it sounds like you're saying that the increased weight will lower the top speed, which is not true. I'm guessing the targa doesn't have the top-speed mode of the hardtop as a safety measure for the new roof.

I really like the Veyron, but a drop top version of this car is useless.

I actually read a study that asked the girlfriends/wives of Bugatti Veyron owners and 98 percent of them said their boyfriends/husbands penises were significantly below average size. Okay, I am just making this up. But, seriously what good is a Veyron for besides showing off and going fast in a straight line.

I just hope they don't make a goofy looking "Landaulet" version a la the Maybach.. Now that would be truly horrendous!
