Bugatti Releases Video of Grand Sport Vitesse

Bugatti has produced a video promoting its Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, which is the fastest open-top car in the world with a top speed of 410km/h. The new Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse's 1,200hp output will rocket the car to 100km/h in 2.6 seconds.

Bugatti had to make fairly substantial changes to build the The Grand Sport Vitesse. It uses the 7.9 liter W16 from the Veyron Super Sport with 1200hp plus all-wheel drive. The suspension has be retuned with faster responding dampers, and the ESP has been slightly retuned to let the rear slide a little more. The car also gets new, lighter 20in wheels. Bugatti claims it will pull 1.4g laterally. The brakes have larger cooling ducts to deal with the extra power.

The body of the Vitesse receives some modifications over even the standard Grand Sport. There is a new roof spoiler that keeps interior noise down. Bugatti claims the interior remains quiet at up to around 200km/h. The larger air intakes, front spoiler and rear diffuser from the Super Sport have all been adapted to the Vitesse.

The interior utilizes mostly carbon fiber, aluminum and magnesium. The entire center console and door inserts are made from carbon fiber, and it is used in many pieces of trim. 

The video shows the car's rear wing in action, its interior, engine and gauges. Towards the end, the video shows the Grand Sport Vitesse with its top off.
