Power your mind will never comprehend

A few posts back, I wrote about Bugatti’s plan to scrap the Veyron. Now I take it back with their latest creation, the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport.

Not much has changed since the coupe version. It still has the 16-cylinder, quad-turbo engine which boasts of 1,001 horses in its stable, plus around 900-plus in N-m in torque, giving power to an all-wheel drive system. It’s still the same car, just without a roof. It still hurtles you down the road faster than any production car in the world, and will still be able to tailgate a Formula One car, given you’ve got the right skills, the courage to face death at over 400 km/h, and someone crazy enough to organize such a race. And it still has the top speed key tucked away just to make sure you’ve got a choice of whether to drive really, really fast, which is normal, or to travel through time and space with the top speed key in place.

All in all, I’m just glad the Veyron’s still THE super car to be reckoned with. And it’s still a worthy benchmark of super car performance. For more info on the Grand Sport, just check out the link.
