Bugatti Veyron GS Qatar Motor Show 09 Bugatti’s Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport made an appearance at the most recent Qatar Motor Show, along with a range of other luxury vehicles. The motor show, which ran from January 26-29, pooled together car manufacturers, luxury car brands, car parts and accessories makers, car rentals and leasing, as well as members of the technical press, trade associations, and the media. Bugatti showcased the highly sophisticated Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, set to be assembled at the company’s French headquarters in the next few years.

With its elegant exterior styling, first-rate automotive features, and the unprecedented driving experience it offers, the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport is expected to be the fastest, most luxurious open-top vehicle to hit the market.

Beyond your average open-top vehicle

Bugatti’s Pilote Officiel, Pierre-Henri Raphanel, has already taken the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport for a test drive. He says that he was “excited” to take the car out on the road and when he did, he wasn’t disappointed. And it wasn’t only because the Veyron GS is an open-top luxury vehicle – even with the roof in place, anyone accustomed to driving is bound to feel the intense yet smooth difference, particularly after second gear shifts. Raphanel states that the experience was highly intense; he can literally feel the sensation from his fingertips down to his spine.

2011 Bentley Continental GT

According to the guys at Autocar, the upcoming 4.0-liter V-8 will be offered in two flavors: a single turbo variant with 415 horsepower and a twin-turbocharged version with 555 horsepower on tap. In comparison, the current twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W-12 engine in the latest 2011 Bentley Continental GT only produces 567 horsepower despite having a 2.0-liter displacement advantage.

Bentley reportedly has a specific output target of at least 100 horsepower per liter for its engine lineup, but the abundant levels of torque one expects from the brand should also be present. This latter element will be one of the key differences between the Bentley and Audi versions of the engine.

Additionally, Bentley has on multiple occasions stressed its commitment to deliver a powertrain lineup that achieves a 40 percent improvement in CO2 emissions, and in keeping with this commitment the engine should also be flex-fuel capable.
