We all have that friend, the one who climbed a famous mountain, or backpacked through Europe, or won Teen Jeopardy 20 years ago and cannot stop talking about it. \u00a0Bragging rights: Just because you have them does not mean that you should use them.<\/p>\n

In the automotive world, however,\u00a0bragging\u00a0rights may be just the thing that the superior manufacturer or design house needs to harp on about. \u00a0In the case of Alsatian automaker\u00a0Bugatti, putting out record setting super cars, such as the new Vitesse which carries on the mantle of \u201cFastest road car on earth\u201d (1,200 horsepower backing it up), the bragging rights are exactly what people want to hear.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0Bugatti\u00a0Vitesse offers luxury and performance automotive enthusiasts the best of both worlds. \u00a0Announced in February and\u00a0debuting\u00a0to much acclaim at the 2012\u00a0Geneva Motor Show, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is a\u00a0targa-topped model (pictured above) containing the engine from the Super Sport (quad-turbo W-16 engine, 1,200 horsepower, and 255 mph top speed).<\/p>\n

This speed beats out the 253 mph of the basic Veyron, and lags a little behind the 267 mph of the Super Sport (same engine, fixed roof). \u00a0What this means is that Vitesse drivers are going to go as fast as is currently humanly possible while still enjoying a sharp breeze and an open sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were instantly electrified by the idea of transferring the power of the Super Sport to the Grand Sport, which previously delivered a maximum of 1,001 hp, and thus taking the roadster to a new level,\u201d says Wolfgang D\u00fcrheimer. The President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. continues: \u201cOur team has managed to transfer the world\u2019s most powerful car engine to the open-top sports car while taking all vehicle dynamics and aerodynamic parameters into consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley\u00a0automotive\u00a0enthusiasts can view the new Vitesse when it arrives, as well as\u00a0ogle\u00a0the current production models, at Scottsdale Bugatti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Possibly the most beautiful Bugatti model yet \n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2663,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-2661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-car-reviews","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nBugatti Vitesse Allows For Top Speeds and an Open Sky<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Possibly the most beautiful Bugatti model yet\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/bugatti-vitesse-allows-for-top-speeds-and-an-open-sky\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bugatti Vitesse Allows For Top Speeds and an Open Sky\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Possibly the most beautiful Bugatti model yet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/bugatti-vitesse-allows-for-top-speeds-and-an-open-sky\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
