There’s been a rumour for a while now, and it’s just been confirmed. There are no plans for the new Bugatti Chiron to be offered as a roadster.
Dr Stefan Brungs, Bugatti sales and marketing chief, told Autocar that there will be “no roadster or convertible” variant on offer. This despite the popularity of the Grand Sport and Grand Sport Vitesse derivatives of the Chiron’s predecessor, the Veyron.
Naturally, the British publication also quizzed Brungs on the prospects of even faster versions of the Chiron.
“We’re looking at different options for the car,” is all Brungs would say on the topic.
He did, however, go on to confirm that the automaker has plans to target the world speed record for road cars – currently held by the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport – with the Chiron in 2018.
