Veyron's Not Dead Yet!

2012 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Special Edition
The fastest car in the world is still here and isn't going anywhere for a long time. In Shanghai this week, Bugatti unveiled two new Veyrons for the public to drool at. First, there's this special Veyron Super Sport that's been decked out in Carbon Black with some iconic 20-inch 10 spoke rims. It now looks more like a slippery, streamlined jet. It still has the powerful 8.0-liter Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine producing an iconic 1,200 horsepower. With a 0 to 60 of just 2.5 seconds, this road jet will reach a top speed of 258 MPH, the fastest a production car has ever gone. But, if the Super Sport is too fast for you, Bugatti has another alternative.

2012 Bugatti Grand Sport Special Edition
And here it is: the Veyron Grand Sport Special Edition. Now, the Super Sport may be the fastest Veyron, but the Grand Sport is definitely the most exciting. Why? How does speeding at 220 MPH along the highway with the roof off sound? It should sound good, unless of course your face comes off before then. This car is also powered by a 8.0-liter Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine, but with only 1,001 horsepower and a top speed of 252 MPH with the roof secured on, and 220 MPH with the roof off. So, if you've been looking to buy a special Veyron lately, look no further. No specs on how long each model will run, but they're here now and that's all that matters.
