MOLSHEIM, France — Bugatti plans to publicly unveil its long-rumored Veyron Targa in mid-August at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, company sources confirmed to Inside Line, with production scheduled to begin in 2009.
IL reported early details on the Veyron Targa two years ago.
The Targa will get a removable hardtop, as well as an expandable fabric cover that clips into place. The chassis will be reinforced, and top speed will be limited to 217 mph.
Beginning next year, the Targa will be assembled in very small numbers alongside the existing Veyron coupe.
There is no official word yet on price or volume. But with the Veyron coupe now selling for upwards of $2 million, the Targa is expected to fetch a premium of at least $250,000 above that. Production is expected to be limited to no more than 75 or 80 units.
What this means to you: The Veyron Targa should still qualify as the world's fastest open-air motorcar. — Andreas Stahl and Paul Lienert, Correspondents
