Bugatti Chiron Grand Sport
Looking up at the stars sitting in front of roughly 1,500 hp
has never been more exciting than in a Bugatti Chiron Grand Sport.
Since the
Chiron coupe hasn't even been launched, never mind a roadster that's some years
down the line. After all, considering that the Veyron came in an open top
version as well, we might expect its successor to pull the same trick at some
point.
The rendeings preview what a roadster version of the Veyron
successor might look like when Bugatti "green lights" it, and are
based on prototypes that have been spotted out in the open over the past few
months. Similarities to the Vision Gran Turismo are apparent, with the
horseshoe grille dominating the front fascia and the huge C-shaped air intakes
on its sides.
Bugatti is preparing for the
Chiron;s global unveil in Geneva. Apart from confirming the name and dropping a
teaser, it has released no info. Reports suggest though that the updated
8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo engine of the Veyron will be significantly more
powerful, at 1,500 PS. Reaching 100 km/h from a standstill should take
as low as 2.2 seconds, while top speed is expected to stand at 470 km/h.
Since the first Bugatti of the modern era was all about
demolishing speed records, there's no reason why the "sequel" won't
do exactly the same and it will be an even more visceral experience with an
open top.
