Following on from yesterday’s announcement that Bugatti had secured the world record for the fastest open-top production sports car, here’s an exclusive video from evo magazine’s Harry Metcalfe, who was there to witness the achievement and also sample the Vitesse.
Anthony Liu reached 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) in the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, which uses the same 8.0-litre W16 engine as the Super Sport, meaning it produces an elephantine 895 kW (1,200 hp) and 1,500 Nm of torque.
