There has been a great deal of conversation regarding the new topless Veyron.
There have been endless photo galleries showing it at Pebble Beach and Calais, yet no one seems to have caught sight of one of these precious hyper cars. Until now. The first two production models showed up in front of me, walking down a back street in the Wine Country town of St. Helena, California. I walked around the town waiting for my uncle to show up for dinner, and stumbled on not one, but two Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand-Sports.
One in pearl white, one in silver, both sitting undisturbed just for my eyes to feast on, enough car to render me speechless. At first, I had to turn away, then turn back to be sure it wasn't a dream.
Turns out, Bugatti decided that the Napa Valley Wine Country would be a nice place to do a photo shoot. At that moment, that never-ending feeling of awe and surprise at seeing truly exotic cars in the flesh took over, sending a shiver up my spine. In true supercar style, the Veyrons drew a croud of drooling bystanders, people of all ages came to gaze in awe, some just to look, and some to stand around and prattle about about how they have 4 turbos and 16 cylinders, and they do 253 mph (which is not true because the Grand-Sport is limited to 230). Nonetheless, the Veyrons sat proudly attracting every teenage boy within 100 miles, including myself. As it happened, 1001 Horse-Power, 2 Million Dollars worth of the world's most beautiful form of excess was enough to make me late for dinner.
