Auto Car | 2010 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport in Sardinia | The new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport features in Sardinia is a special edition roadster where only 150 units will be manufactured. It comes out with new aesthetics, modifications and it is set to give a tough competition to the other cars in the market.

This Bugatti comes out with new modifications, newly designed safety features, an open top and it is also the world’s fastest roadster. The body features daytime running lights, high windscreen and a transparent polycarbonate roof.

The main challenge in developing the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport with its removable roof resulted from the unique structure of the fixed-roof Bugatti Veyron. An optimum combination of rigidity and lightweight engineering ensures the monocoque passenger cell of the original model is extremely strong, while weighing an absolute minimum. As the roof is an integral part of the vehicle’s structure, removing it meant the load paths had to be completely redesigned to maintain the vehicle’s rigidity and crash safety, and to offer additional protection from side impacts and rolling.

The body of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is made of carbon fibre and it houses a longitudinal beam that shifts the cars load from the first pillar to the second pillar at the time of accidents. In addition, there is a carbon plate that has been installed below the transmission. The car features an open top that can be opened or closed within a few seconds and when it is in closed position, it provides a large luggage space.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is powered by a 8.0 L W16 engine with carbon fiber elements and two air intakes that allows cool air for the cooling of the engine and the front wheels. The final output power released by the engine is 987 bhp and 927 lb-ft torque. The maximum speed of the car is 407 km/h.

The suspension system consists of shock absorbers and it allows the cars height to be increased or lowered depending upon the road conditions. The alloy wheels are enclosed with specially designed tires and the wheels are equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels.
