Having set a new land-speed world record of 431, 072 km/h (268 mph) last month, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport was finally presented to the public during Pebble Beach’s Concours D’Elegance. Furthering the reputation of both Bugatti and its Veyron line, the car incorporates top engineering with untraditional beauty. Meant for racing, its exterior offers a long, sleek silhouette that does more than please the eye. Two ducts from the car’s roof provide the engine with additional sources of ventilation, and front air intake has been expanded since the last Veyron model.

This new addition to the Bugatti family takes its cues from the 2005, 1,001 horsepower 16.4 Veyron which included a seven speed twin-clutch gearbox and impressive stability, but several years of progress have made a noticeable difference. Lighter, faster and stronger, the Super Sport might as well be the six million dollar man at a lower price. In a little over seven seconds, the car accelerates from zero to 200 km/h. More aerodynamic than its predecessors, the record breaking Super Sport offers 1,200 horsepower with a maximum torque of 1,500 Newton meters and a top speed already proven to surpass any other automobile on the market.

Built with identical specifications, the first five Veyron 16.4 Super Sports to come off the assembly line promise the same level of performance. For added glamour, these five cars that compose the World Record Edition are designed with a special black exposed carbon and orange finish. While all five have already been sold, a similar version of the new Super Sport is available with a fully visible carbon body at the price of €1,850,000. For those who would prefer the painted model, the car is slightly cheaper at €1,650,000. Prices do not include tax or transportation.
