Bugatti’s Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse Up Close And Personal: Video

Consider this: with 1.200 horsepower and over 1,100 pound-feet of torque, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse may well be the world’s fastest hair dryer. It will sprint from 0-62 mph in just 2.6 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 255 miles per hour. If the weather’s good, the targa-style roof panel can be removed for open-air motoring, although there’s no place to carry it on board the car. If there’s a chance of rain, the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse works just fine as a coupe.

While Bugatti hasn’t officially announced U.S. sales of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, those with sufficient interest and sufficient funds will likely find a way to obtain one. In Europe, the asking price is around two million euros, which translates to $2.6 million. You won’t see very many of these on the road, so this Bugatti-produced video may be the best chance you’ll have to see the car up close and personal.
