This is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse – a high-performance version of the Veyron Grand Sport open-top model that's made its public debut at the Geneva motor show 2012.

The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is based on the Veyron Super Sport and has the same W16 engine. It has four turbochargers and produces a staggering 1184bhp and 1106lb ft of torque. The Grand Sport Vitesse’s top speed is likely to be only a fraction short of the Super Sport’s 268mph maximum.

Bugatti says there are chassis modifications to handle the power, but hasn’t released any further details.

There’s no word on production dates or prices, either, but the Grand Sport Vitesse is likely to cost at least £2,000,000.
