Bugatti plans to officially unveil its long awaited Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport roadster at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance next Saturday on August 16th, 2008. Although named a roadster, the car is actually an open-top targa version of the famous grand tourer.Normally sporting less rigid bodies, roadsters sometime sacrifice safety and performance for fun. Bugatti says that its new car, which is featuring some "innovative structural solutions", will provide an adequate compensation for a lack of structural integrity of the original model's design. Bugatti hopes that the 16.4 Grand Sport will be the fastest open-top in the world.

It seems that the vehicles' future owners will have to manually remove the roofs and leave them in garages since there is definitely not enough space to keep the roof onboard.

Volkswagen will start building Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport roadsters in spring 2009. The vehicle's price is still unknown.[autoreview.belproject.com]
