Post First image of the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport


http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...t-ar92536.html

While everyone is waiting for the official debut of the future Veyron SuperSport, what appears to be the first image of the supercar has already leaked onto the internet. Big surprise there, right? The car will be limited to only 30 units, carrying a price tag of $2 million (it appears that the previous rumors about a $2.4 million price were false). Bugatti will also offer a naked carbon fiber body option that will add another 100,000 euro ($122,000 at the current rates) to the car’s price. This image clearly shows that the Supersport has received a minor nose job elongating the front of the car just a bit in comparison to the Bugatti Veyron in addition to the minor tweaks here and there.

The future Veyron SuperSport will be powered by the same 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbocharged engine tuned to deliver a total of 1200 HP. With a weight reduction of 100 kilos, the supercar will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 2.2 seconds and will be able to hit a top speed of 264 mph.

The official debut will be made in August at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. We can’t wait to see this car up close and personal. It looks absolutely amazing!

Oddly enough, I've never liked the Veyron, but I find myself somewhat taken by this photo

Very Audi-ish. I doubt they would let that go to production looking like the most expensive TT on Earth.

I see 300mph in the not too distant future for these high end supercars. Amazing.

awesome. I am so excited. I cant believe they are going to do this special edition. Good job Bugatti. At a limited run of 30 they are going to be EXTREMELY collectible . Like the original run of Veyrons wasnt exclusive enough. I cant wait

I agree, truly a marvel of automotive technology. History keeps getting made over at Buggati!

264 mph wtf... are they mad?!

2.2 secs (0-60 mph)

I think we should call this a hypercar and not a supercar.

I wish I won the lotto last night. $25 million would have been nice. 10% would have went to this and the other 90% would have went to stocks, gold, silver and some real estate

I find myself not liking that picture one bit. I bet that the car looks better in person, but I just don't feel that that picture is giving it justice. The spec's that they are giving this car is crazy! I would love to be in this car for a speed run, or drive it for that matter hah!

HOW BIG are those wheels? 22" at least! That's nuts, The Bugatti is the epitome of SUPER car. There's nothing un-super about 1200HP and 260+ mph. The looks are another thing.
