French automaker Bugatti has debuted its latest world record car, the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show.
Recently named the world’s fastest open-top production car, after reaching a top speed of 254.04 mph (408.84 km/h) at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien proving grounds, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was introduced to the public for the very first time at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show.
The car that reportedly “stole the show” with its striking black and Arancia orange dual-color scheme, will be built in only eight examples with pricing set to start from $2.60 million (€2 million) before taxes.
Powered by the familiar quad-turbo 7.9-liter W16 engine, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC puts no less than 1,200 HP to the ground through a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox.
"After much anticipation, the Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car was shared with the world at the Shanghai Motor Show. This future motoring icon drew crowds and looks of admiration in equal measure, with all in attendance struck by its striking dual-colour scheme in black and Arancia orange and impeccable detail throughout. Naturally, the car stole the show, not to mention a few hearts too," Bugatti said.
