The company decided to expand the Bugatti Veyron model lineup and prepares for his open-source version. The car will receive a body with a removable targa, a central part of the roof and will cost 1.9 million dollars, according to Edmunds.com.
This roof for the supercar will be developed by German company Webasto, which has also created a folding top coupe-cabriolet Volkswagen Eos. In this case, due to lack of space in the Bugatti Veyron will have to put her in the trunk. And in case of rain the designers have provided a small protective curtain of dense tissue.
Maximum speed supercar open, unlike the coupe will be limited at around 350 km / h. Despite this, such an indicator can be the Veyron the world's fastest car with removable roof.

Bugatti Veyron recognized as the fastest on the planet
British magazine Autocar had a very interesting comparison of the fastest vehicles in the world.
How much more quickly, accelerate the 987-horsepower Veyron? Publication experts managed to gather in one place a great many series of sports cars and motorcycles, which were to perform a simple exercise - acceleration from a standstill to 100 miles per hour (160 kph) and stopped. In this case, testers of the car told me that the feeling of acceleration is very similar to taking off on a fighter jet F-16.
As a result, the winner declared Bugatti Veyron. Behind the wheel of a supercar driver can accelerate to 160 km / h and then stay for just 9.9 seconds. For comparison, sport bike Suzuki GSXR-1000, which is considered one of the fastest two-wheeled vehicles in the world, took second place! Porsche 911 Turbo for acceleration of 0-100 miles per hour and deceleration required 12.5 seconds., Lamborghini Gallardo - 13.65 sec., BMW M5 - 15.20 sec. And the Ford Focus ST long 21.35 seconds.
Experts noted the fact that from zero to 100 km / h this car accelerates in just 2.8 seconds. And up to 160 km / h in 5.5 seconds. It's easy fast, and insanely fast. So, perhaps, Bugatti Veyron worth the $ 1.3 million, which for him are asking for.

Is Bugatti requires suspension tuning?
Bugatti 16.4 Veyron probably the top sports cars - the revival of past legends. The product, initially involving the exceptional quality, Veyron - the fruit of serious work of designers and engineers have implemented in your child a variety of innovative solutions. At the same time being a product of technology and art, Bugatti 16.4 Veyron to be as complex and unique in design as it is in construction. When 16-cylinder engine s1001 hp and a torque of 1250 Nm, maximum speed, which breaks through the barrier at 400 km / h, it is clear that the vehicle needs a full control and reliability management.
Developers Bugatti naturally more than usually pay attention to the suspension of the car, its ability to use the phenomenal performance and engine power. Volkswagen Group in the development of a supercar Veyron, understanding the importance of every detail of the suspension, which was originally proposed to develop designers Eibach springs, which are the heart of the suspension system - parts of which connects the main body of the car and unsprung mass. Because the engineers used all available technology to reduce unsprung weight of wheels and brakes, it was natural that the designers chose the material for the Eibach suspension springs titanium-based alloys. New vysokorastyazhimy titanium alloy reduces unsprung masses by approximately 30% compared with the steel equivalent.
Another feature in designing the spring is its shape. To give the necessary properties of the spring, it appeared that the springs must have the form of a tulip, including due to the geometrical configuration of seats.
Eibach for participation in this project is still very prestigious - the company confirms its capacity as a manufacturer of suspension at the highest technical level.
In this company with a 55-year history, ultramodern factories work in unison with some specialized industries, where labor is used most qualified employees. Eibach is present on all five continents, where the annual equips its suspension of approximately 3000 vehicles. Bugatti 16.4 Veyron is in the list of cars Eibach definitely the top spot.
