Bugatti Veyron Targa planned for 2008
Posted by asianlanka under luxury cars | Tags: Uncategorized |Leave a Comment
Perhaps Bugatti got a little open-air envy after seeing the t-tops on Richard Losee’s Ferrari Enzo, as we’ve just learned the Veyron will be shedding its roof in 2008 when the company introduces a targa version of its superlative exotic with a laminated glass roof panel developed by the same firm responsible for the Volkswagen Eos’s folding hardtop. Since the Veyron’s packaging is so tight, Inside Line reports that the roof panel cannot be stored on board. To compensate, Bugatti will develop a fabric panel that can be pulled in place to protect the car’s interior from the elements if need arises. The Veyron Targa’s top speed of 217 mph will be lower than the coupe’s upper bound of 253 mph, but that should be enough to keep it ahead of Losee’s T-Top Enzo. Full production of the car isn’t expected to start until early next year (2009). Production numbers are expected to be in the 75 or 80 range, with the price premium over the $2 million .
