Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport: Cutaway model reveals inner awesome

Bugatti is showing a cutaway model of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport at the Geneva Motor Show.

The car is divided into its two main sub-assemblies, showing off its carbon fiber structure and internal components.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about the car is how Bugatti managed to cram so much into so small a space. The Grand Sport is a relatively small car, and fitting an 8.0-liter W16 engine complete with four turbochargers into the space behind the rear seats was no small feat. The display shows just how Bugatti did it, though, and we walked away even more amazed at what went into packaging all the components of the car.

Bugatti Veyron: Two special editions launched at Geneva Motor Show

Bugatti has launched two special editions at the Geneva Motor Show: the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Grey Carbon and the Bugatti Veyron Royal Dark Blue. Have a look!

The upper section of the body – including the doors and side panels – is made of dark grey carbon fibre, framed whilst the bottom part of the car is finished in polished aluminium. The lower air intake grilles are polished to a brilliant shine. The wheel rims are the same as those on the Bugatti Pur Sang, with Ebony Pearl inner sides and a Diamond Cut face. The EB logos and all screws are made of sparkling aluminium.

On the first of the two Grand Sport models exhibited in Geneva, the bonnet, monocoque and rear section are made of carbon fibre tinted in a Royal Dark Blue colour that shows off the lustre of the fibre. Air intakes and all grilles (except the highly polished radiator grille) are likewise finished in Royal Dark Blue, creating a striking contrast between the central part of the car and the Arctic White side panels. The inner sides of the horseshoe-shaped spokes in the wheel rims are also painted Royal Dark Blue. The EB logos on the wheels, and fuel and oil filler cap are still made of polished aluminium as usual. The characteristic Bugatti two-tone colour scheme thus extends down to the last detail.

Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept: Live impressions from Geneva Motor Show

Here are some live impressions of the Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept from the Geneva Motor Show.

At the heart of the Galibier is Bugatti's 8.0-liter W-16 engine lifted nearly intact from the Veyron sports car. Changes include a shift from four turbochargers to two-stage supercharging - a move that gives the sedan smoother acceleration and more low-down torque to better suit its use in a luxury sedan - as well as flex-fuel capability. Yep, you can run your $1.5 million Galibier on ethanol. All-wheel drive, ceramic disc brakes, and the extensive use of carbon fiber and aluminum all hint at the performance the Galibier is capable of, though the sedan's luxury concessions have not been omitted. For example, the removable Swiss-made Parmigiani Fleurier tourbillion clock set into the car's dashboard, also capable of being used as a desk clock or wrist watch.

Bugatti Veyron: Car of the decade

Nice review here of the Bugatti Veyron.

It is so ridiculously fast, that the first time you flatten the throttle and attempt to hold it down (and you can’t), you will be very lucky if you retain what you have eaten for breakfast, such is the indescribable acceleration of the Veyron 16.4 and its effect on your gastro region.

And – being Jay Leno – he talks about the Grand Sport in the Bugatti wing of his Big Dog Garage. Literally, the Bugatti wing. Jay is also joined by Bugatti's North American Marketing Manager John Hill as well as Veyron hot shoe and former F1 driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel. The latter of which takes Jay for a little ride (ahem) around the quiet streets of Burbank.

Bugatti Veyron: Comparison against Bugatti EB110

Interesting comparison here of the Bugatti Veyron and the Bugatti EB110.

“But while both might wear Bugatti logos and prove an unlikely spot in a supermarket car park, do the EB110 and Veyron really have so much in common? They come from unrelated enterprises, one defunct, the other flourishing. Their styling is tangentially linked at best and their prices and performance are separated by a gulf as big as the one you’ll find between an Audi TT RS and an R8 V10.

“Yet they have more in common than you’d imagine. Both are built around carbonfibre tubs, are powered by generously cylindered, multi-valve, midship-mounted vee engines whose substantial muscle is boosted by a quartet of turbochargers.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport: Blanc Noir edition shown in California

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Blanc Noir edition is currently on display in California.

Apparently created for a high-end clothier, the Veyron Blanc Noir appears to be a one-off (like the Pegaso) rather than a limited-production run (like the Fbg par Hermes). Based on the targa-roofed Grand Sport, the Black Noir edition – spotted in California – is all done up, as the name suggests, in black and white: a matte white body with glossy black hood, wheels, spoiler, fuel filler cap and more.

Bugatti Veyron: Unseen design concept by Walter de'Silva found

Today's Bugatti buzz is all about an so far unseen design concept by Walter de'Silva back from 1999. Have a look!

The full-scale model, complete with interior, was thankfully rejected by Ferdinand Piech in favor of the better looking but still-aesthetically-challenged production version.

de'Silva, who was head of design at Seat in '99 was approached by VW's head of design at the time, Hartmut Warkuss, to submit a proposal for the hyper car's looks. Giugiaro, which penned the Chiron, also submitted a proposal.

Bugatti 16C Galibier: Trademark registered, production coming soon?

Bugatti has registered the trademark for "16C Galibier" which might give a production hint.

Still, Bugatti is making sure all of its ducks are in a row... just in case. Evidence of such can be seen in a trademark filing with the World Intellectual Property Organization that seeks to keep other automakers from stealing the car's design and shape. After all, it's happened before.

With Veyron production scheduled to come to an end after the 2012 model year, Bugatti only has a little bit of time to decide if it's moving forward on that supercar's successor, and if so, whether or not the front-engine, four-door Galibier is the direction it needs to go.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport: Driving report

Interesting driving report here about the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport.

A fellow automotive writer, reviewing the car recently for another pubication, decided after his hour with the Grand Sport that "the Bugatti isn’t the future of the fast car; it’s the past writ in extra-large type." I beg to differ. This car is the culmination of everything the Volkswagen Group knows about building cars, and probably a few things it didn't know it knew. The Veyron is an unwaveringly forward-thinking piece of machinery, one that — as the Space Shuttle has informed general aviation — will inform more accessible cars for years to come.

His response was such that I am guessing they have been working on this for a while. Fingers crossed!

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: Behind the wheel report

Not too many people can claim to had some time with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, therefore it's a very interesting read.

MY mission today is to offer my clear-eyed take on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. But the price keeps getting in the way.

This removable-roof version of the Veyron coupe costs 1.4 million euros, or roughly $2.1 million. I say roughly, because the Bugatti’s price can fluctuate about $14,000 a day simply from one-cent adjustments in exchange rates.

For that price, a rare species of car owner gets a rocket that gleams across the planet’s surface faster than any true production automobile that has come before. The Bugatti shifts occupants around like a Star Trek transporter: from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds, to 125 m.p.h. in just over 7 seconds and on to a top speed of 253 m.p.h. — though 401 kilometers per hour has a better bullet-train ring to it.

Bugatti 16C Galibier: It is a concept

Bugatti has stressed again that the Bugatti 16C Galibier is a concept and has shown it again at the LA Auto Show.

Insiders are keen to make it once Veyron production ends in 2012, although the firm’s director of sales, marketing and after sales Alasdair Stewart has officially said otherwise.

Speaking at the car’s showing at the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills, Stewart said the car was one of several concept studies the firm would be displaying over the next few years as it considers the future of the prestigious marque.

Technical boss Wolfgang Schreiber has told previously Autocar that he wants the Galibier to “be the world’s fastest, highest accelerating and powerful four-door”. Company boss Franz-Josef Paefgen said the firm was keen to make the concept a production reality and it would be up to Bugatti to convince its customers and the VW Group it should make it.

Bugatti Veyron: Copy with F1 numberplate found

A great-looking, white Bugatti Veyron with F1 numberplates is headlining the MPH show in UK.

Owned by Afzal Kahn, the man behind bespoke tuning house Project Kahn, this Veyron is strictly a case of ‘if you need to ask the price, you can’t afford it’.

The ultra exclusive F1 number plates were purchased at auction by Mr Kahn for the princely sum of $721,743 which was headline news in itself.

Mr Kahn insists that despite headlining the MPH Show the car is not for sale, although he is hoping it would be the perfect car for newly crowned Formula One champion Jenson Button since it features the most expensive number plate sold in the UK.

Bugatti: What's next? Insights here!

Join us for some insights into what's next (or not) for Bugatti.

Still basking in the afterglow of an all-too-rare drive of the astounding Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport in Connecticut, I had a sit-down with John Hill, Bugatti’s market manager for the Americas. I asked what Bugatti is considering for the follow-up act to the 253-mph mega-sports car when its production run is over in 2012.

“Whatever we’re going to do, it’s going to be ultra-exclusive,” said Hill, ruling out any possibility of a sub-million-dollar “Veyron Lite” (sorry, mere mortals, you seriously will never own one). Like the Veyron, the next Bugatti “will be the top of the industry.”

The super-luxurious Galibier 16C saloon gets the same 8.0-litre 16-cylinder engine as seen in the Veyron coupé… and a colossal price tag to match!

With the design and engineering emphasis on ultimate luxury, the £900,000 model features an opulent leather and wood interior, providing room for four.Detailing is kept to a minimum inside, with only two central dials forming the instrument binnacle.

Insider sources say that Bugatti will make a new concept if the public doesn't like the Bugatti 16 C Galibier.

One option, revealed to Autocar by a company insider, is to make a new Veyron.

"We could just make a new one using the Galbier's mechanicals," he said, suggesting a new sports car could be front-engined.

Another option is a cheaper saloon, costing around £400,000. However, there are worries that it could conflict with the Bentley business within the VW Group.

Bugatti 16 C Galibier: Stunning concept unveiled

Bugatti has unveiled the Bugatti 16 C Galibier, a concept which could go into production from 2013. Also check the video below!

Set to grace the firm's show stand at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 15th September, the car gets the same 16 cylinder engine that powers the Veyron coupe - mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

With the empahsis of the design and engineering firmly on ultimate luxury, the £900,000 model also gets a distinctive wood and leather trimmed interior, with room for four passengers.


Like the Veyron, which at 1000bhp offers a top speed of over 240mph, the Galibier also aims to the be the world's fastest saloon. With a detuned 800bhp version of the Veyron's engine under the boonet, top speed should be around 220mph.

To help improve the performance further still, a lightweight body, built of carbon fibre and aluminium will feature.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport "Sang Bleu": Unveiled at Pebble Beach

Bugatti has unveiled a new special edition called Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport "Sang Bleu". Nice!

The "Sang Bleu" is set off by its unique two-tone color combination that isn't the result of opening a couple new cans of paint back at the Bugatti factory in Molsheim, France, but rather combining two materials: carbon fiber and aluminum. The shiny parts are, of course, the al-yoo-mini-um of which we spoke, but the royal blue you see is a specially tinted carbon fiber. The only other differences between the "Sang Bleu" and a normal Grand Sport are that the rear airscoops are also body color, and the wheels are a unique design with a Midnight Blue and Diamond Cut finish.

Only 20 standard Grand Sports have been ordered and far less actually delivered, so the "Sang Bleu" stands as the rarest Veyron of them all right now.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: Driven!

We found another nice driving report of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport.

You have to plan ahead for moments like those. The enormous potential hidden amidship behind your head—okay, hidden is a strong word, since the proudly-stamped “16.4” manifold covers are laid out there in the open like certain parts of non-neutered dogs—demands constant attention. This is, after all, the fastest roadgoing car on the face of the earth, and difficult to drive fast while also balancing the need for a future career in your head.

The specs are revealing. Actually, they’re pretty much car porn. The Veyron Grand Sport cribs the coupe’s unearthly 8.0-liter V-16 engine, its four turbochargers, its all-wheel drive, its seven-speed paddle-shifted transmission, basically stealing all the powertrain thunder it can. Those 987 horsepower let you know right away they’re aware of being handed to a mere lackey, and touching the throttle even gently signals a mood change behind your ears. Laminated glass keeps you safe, just like at the lion cage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but still…you don’t want to tap the glass.

Bugatti Royale: Full rendering

It’s one of two Bugattis pencilled into the product development cycle between now and 2018 – and the supersaloon is set to replace the Veyron, which is nearing the end of its 300-strong limited production run.

Bugatti’s new saloon will sport the Veyron’s W16, but mounted up front instead of amidships as in the 253mph sports coupé and roadster. Direct injection could figure this time, however, and the limo is tipped to be rear-wheel drive, making it the first modern Bug to eschew 4wd.

The sturdy Ricardo-developed seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox is also carried over on the new C21 Royale. The Veyron’s drivetrain has cost so much to develop, that the bean counters insist on reusing as much as possible rather than re-engineering everything.

Beyond 233 mph, the car's computers decide if conditions are right for an attempt. The thrilling numbers to that point? A 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds, a braking time from 60 mph in less than that, and a 5-second 0-60-0 mph elapsed time.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: Driving report

Here's one of the very few driving reports with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. Enjoy!

Bugatti claims the 53kg weight penalty knocks a couple of tenths off the coupe’s 2.5sec 0-62mph time, but unless you stray onto Santa Pod drag strip when the top fuellers are doing their stuff, you’re not going to come across much that can beat it. Don’t believe me? How about zero to 186mph (300km/h) in less than 17sec? You won’t find a Ferrari or Lamborghini that can get within the same time zone as the Bugatti when it’s delivering all 987bhp.

In fact it’s truly unsettling the first few times you give it the lot and hold it there in second gear and through third. I’ve been fortunate enough to have driven plenty of quick cars – including a Mclaren F1 – and I was still startled by the kick in the back. If you’ve never driven anything swifter than a hot hatch, there’s a good chance that you might feel genuinely scared, it’s that quick.

A new teaser for the Bugatti Bordeaux shows 8 (!) exhaust pipes.

Note, too, the inclusion of eight rather obvious exhaust tips at the rear of the car, which reinforces speculation that this vehicle will be powered by Bugatti's current 8.0-liter W16 powerplant. If that's the case, we'd also expect the Veyron's all-wheel-drive system and active aerodynamics to keep the ridiculously powerful car from going airborne. As much fun as it is to speculate, we look forward to getting official word from Bugatti as Frankfurt draws nearer.

Bugatti Bordeaux: New model teaser released

Bugatti has released a teaser for its new model called Bordeaux which is expected in September.

And, as you can make out from this shadowy image, the Bordeaux will get a shooting brake-style body with striking horse shoe-shaped tailights. It also gets a split rear window, complete with a dramatic central brake light and, of course, a prominent Bugatti badge.

Inside there'll be space for four and although details have yet to be confirmed, the front-engined Bordeaux is expected to share the Veyron’s 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16.

Giving the same 987bhp and 1,250Nm of torque, it should take the car from 0-60mph in three seconds and on to 250mph, making this the world’s fastest four-seater.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: Sales video

Have a look at this video and learn how to sell a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport.

This video of the topless Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport was created by Adrian Hill, client advisor at St. Louis Motorsports located in Missouri. Apparently Adrian has found a different way to pitch the dealership's products by creating a string of videos that are somewhat goofy, yet charming due to their simplicity and his personal down-to-earth attitude.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: A temple of Zen

Nice review and first drive report here with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. Enjoy!

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is a violent, taunting, confounding and punctiliously engineered maelstrom. It is a handmade wonder built in a castle, and yet resembles a slightly squashed jelly bean. It has a $30,000 stereo, but it's too much work to actually listen to it. The 16-cylinder, quad-turbocharged engine with 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque is programmed not to let you damage it, but in just one afternoon, the leather-trimmed coachwork on the doors will be a mess of shoe marks. The car's brake rotors are chaperoned by 28 brake pistons, but using them forcefully is like begging someone to plow into the aforementioned engine. The car will cost you €1.6 million (roughly $2.24M USD), for which you get, as a soft top, an umbrella. That's right, an umbrella. Own it and you'll be master of the quickest accelerating production car in the world, and yet you'll probably never remember what that acceleration is like.

Bugatti Veyron: Video of supercar shootout against McLaren F1

Stop whatever you are doing now and watch this awesome video of a supercar shootout of a Bugatti Veyron against a McLaren F1. Just great!

The Top Gear crew chose Abu Dhabi as the location for its supercar shootout. With an arid climate that sees practically no rain or freezing-and-thawing cycles, the roads in Abu Dhabi are long, straight and, most importantly, free of pot holes. Richard Hammond chooses to pilot the Bug and The Stig takes the centrally located wheel of the F1. We won't spoil the results except to say that this is the most real and nail-biting competition that we've seen on Top Gear in a long time.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: First drive report

Nice driving report of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. Something quite rare by nature.

Bugatti's Olivier Thevenin gestures at us from the passenger seat and we come to a stop on a deserted, arrow-straight road somewhere in Sardinia. His serious look suggests he has something big to say.

"Now," he says. "Use all of the power — really. Then feel the brakes." As his was meant to be the voice of corporate reason during our drive of the 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, we could have kissed him.

We floor the throttle and the car simply takes off. Since we've got a quadruple-turbo 8.0-liter W16 behind us that pumps out 986 horsepower and 922 pound-feet of torque, we expect a battle of physics with the Haldex all-wheel-drive system and limited-slip rear differential that should leave the tarmac with emotional scars and end with the car off the road. But instead the Veyron simply leaves the vicinity like a bullet from a sniper's rifle.

The power meter on the instrument panel swings round and just for a second we are godlike, using the full force of the ultimate car.

And now it's got a removable targa-style top.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport: New official photos released

Have a look at these new official pictures of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. Nice! And if you prefer moving pictures then have a look here.

The GS gets a higher windscreen, daytime running lights and a transparent polycarbonate roof panel or umbrella-like soft top. There's also enough extra bracing beneath the carbon fiber skin to survive a black hole, and the two large air intakes above the engine are now reinforced to act as rollover bars.

The Veyron GS can go nearly 253 mph with its roof panel on, almost as fast as the straight coupe. Sans roof panel it can still hit almost 224 mph, and the soft top brings things down a top speed of just 99 mph. Only 150 units will be made, which means the 1.4 million euro Veyron Grand Sport is an ultra exclusive version of an already ultra exclusive car. Deliveries start in July and 30 have already ordered.

Bugatti Veyron: Just $25K ... for a day!

In case you are looking into renting a Bugatti Veyron this might come handy for you.

A Berkshire-based leasing company called Holders Vehicle Contracts has at its disposal the world's fastest, priciest production car. The car that demanded months of negotiation before even the Stig was allowed to drive it. The car that needs a special set of tires to cope with its maximum speed. The car that Jenson Button himself is tooling around in when he's not winning back-to-back Grand Prix.

But now we can all have a go. Well some of us at any rate. That $25,000 daily outlay notwithstanding, you also need to be able to put down $160,000 as a deposit.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport: Production has started

If you are eagerly awaiting the delivery of your Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, be assured production has now started.

To mark the production start of the new model, which will be limited to 150 units, Bugatti has hosted a special day for enlisted buyers to test drive some pre-production versions at Cannes, in northern France. We’ve already known about the car for some time now as it first appeared on the auto scene last August at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

The very first build slot for the car, incidentally, was auctioned off at the Pebble Beach event to a wealthy buyer who paid $2.9 million for the privilege. The other 149 cars are priced at €1.4 million (approximately $2 million), but the first 50 cars have already been reserved for registered Bugatti customers.

Bugatti Veyron Centenaire Edition: Celebrating 100 years with four Centenaire specials at Villa d'Este

Bugatti will celebrate its 100th anniversary with 4 Bugatti Veyron Centenaire Edition at Villa d'Este.

Each of the four one-offs bares a different color to contrast with the chrome fenders, and each honors a different driver from Bugatti's glory days by taking their names. To more clearly emphasize the cars historical linkages, the four Veyrons arrived in Italy accompanied by matching historic Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix racers.

Bugatti Royale: 4-door Veyron unleashed

Here are the first impressions of the Bugatti Royale, a 4-door Bugatti Veyron, but far away from being a family hauler.

With the £900,000, 253mph Veyron 16.4 already crowned the world’s most expensive and fastest supercar, Bugatti is seeking to go a step further: it will celebrate its 100th anniversary by unveiling this hyper-saloon at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Inspired by the legendary 1927 Type 41 Royale, the new model would be as expensive as its brother and be available in a very limited production run for the company’s most loyal customers. As you can see, the exterior echoes the Veyron’s, while inside the cabin will offer unparalleled luxury, with the finest leather, suede and metal trim in addition to seating for four people and a luggage compartment at the rear.

With the same 987bhp and 1,250Nm of torque, the Royale should cover 0-60mph in three seconds and hit a 250mph top speed, making it the fastest four-seater in the world. It will also feature the same seven-speed twin-clutch transmission – developed by UK firm Ricardo – along with that Haldex clutch-equipped all-wheel drive. There will be active aerodynamics, a Veyron-style hydraulic rear wing that rises at speed, huge carbon composite brake discs and adaptive dampers, too.
