Ettore Bugatti is rolling around in his grave. A German car with his name…from the volkswagen.
Here’s an interesting rumor about the alleged Veyron Targa. Apparently the entire run of production cars has been sold out, the first test car just left the factory, and test drives are only being offered to current Veyron owners.
Top speed will be limited, presumably by aerodynamic forces and the laws of physics, to 211 miles per hour. The regular Veyron will run all the way up to 248 miles per hour, so you’re going to give up a lot of top end to enjoy the chance for topless motoring. Other bad news includes the inability to stow the targa panel anywhere in the car, so those topless drives better be reserved for the nicest days of the year. You’d look awfully silly hiding under an overpass in a multi-million dollar ride.
