2015 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Roadster

The Bugatti Veyron was powered by an 8-liter quad-turbocharged 1,001 horsepower W-16 engine that gave it the all-time speed record for a production road car at 254 MPH. A Targa version called the Grand Sport was added to the lineup in 2009. In 2010, Bugatti introduced the 1,200 horsepower Veyron 16.4 Super Sport which was electronically limited to 258 MPH. Its unfettered top speed was 267.856 MPH which was unsafe for the road-going tires. In 2012, Bugatti unveiled the second-generation Veyron roadster, the Grand Sport Vitesse. It was essentially a Super Sport top without a top. It had the same 7-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission, all-wheel drive, computer-controlled all-independent wishbone suspension, active aerodynamics, and aircraft-grade 4-wheel disc brakes. It employed the same improved cooling used in the Super Sport to handle the W-16's thermal output. In total, 150 examples of the Grand Sport Vitesse were built.

This particular Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Roadster is finished in silver and rides on 20-inch chromed alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. It has taupe leather upholstery, with the exclusive Vitesse stitching pattern inspired by the Veyron's ascending speed curve), a jewel-like engine-turned center panel and carbon-fiber door-panel and console trim.

This car is number 74 of the 150 produced and currently has 1,526 miles on its odometer. It was previously owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
