Fastest Open-Top Car in the World at Its Time – The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse set a world record for the fastest roadster, reaching 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) in 2013, making it the fastest open-top production car of its time.
More Powerful Than the Standard Veyron – The Grand Sport Vitesse features a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine, producing 1,200 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque, an increase of 199 hp over the standard Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport.
0-100 km/h in Just 2.6 Seconds – Despite being a convertible, the Vitesse can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.6 seconds, making it one of the quickest roadsters ever built.
"Vitesse" Means "Speed" in French – The name "Vitesse" is French for "speed", emphasizing its record-breaking performance and engineering advancements.
Removable Roof with a Speed Limitation – With the roof removed, the Vitesse is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph) for safety, but with the roof on, it can reach its full 408 km/h (254 mph) top speed.
Uses a Seven-Speed DSG Dual-Clutch Transmission – The Vitesse features a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, allowing seamless gear shifts in just 150 milliseconds, ensuring maximum performance.
Upgraded Aerodynamics and Chassis – To handle the increased power, Bugatti upgraded the aerodynamics, suspension, and braking system, making the Vitesse more stable at high speeds.
Extremely Rare – Limited Production – Bugatti produced only 92 units of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, making it one of the most exclusive open-top hypercars ever.
Expensive Even by Bugatti Standards – The Vitesse had a starting price of around $2.5 million, but rare editions like the Vitesse "La Finale" and World Record Edition are now worth even more.
Final Evolution Before the Bugatti Chiron – The Grand Sport Vitesse was one of the last Veyron variants before Bugatti launched its successor, the Chiron, in 2016.

The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is the ultimate open-top Veyron, combining the Super Sport’s 1,200hp W16 with a removable carbon roof. Only 92 were built, making it rarer than the standard coupe.
