Bugatti Italian born Ettore Bugatti produced his first car in 1899 at the age of 19. In 1909 he started his factory in Molsheim, Alsace. Bugattis were known for their advanced engineering in their premium road cars. The company's success culminated with driver Jean-Pierre Wimille winning the 24 hours of Le Mans twice (in 1937 with Robert Benoist and 1939 with Pierre Veyron). Volkswagen AG purchased the rights to produce cars under the Bugatti marque in 1998.

Interestingly, everything seems to be indicating away from a ragtop or even a retractable hard top. Instead, a "laminated glass roof panel" is being developed that you can put on and take off as you please, but you won't have anywhere to store it. As a result, word is that they're also working on a "temporary fabric panel... to cover the interior in an emergency situation."

Among some of the other changes are a beefening of the windshield pillars, the addition of adaptive headlights, and a strengthening of the chassis. For safety reasons, they're also limiting the top speed to 217mph. I guess that's fine, since it already lost the horsepower race to the

Nice find! I wouldnt mind a drop top but honestly If I were going to buy a Veyron it would have a fixed roof.

That picture has been floating around the web for some time. I doubt that there will be a convertible Veyron. First there were the Super Veyron rumours, now this... I don't belive in any of them.

Lol, i remember the "super Veyron" rumours

I don't doubt the possibilty of a convertible Veyron but according to EVO (whether it's true or not) Bugatti is working on a super saloon
