Bugatti Greenlights 80 Targa topped Veyrons

Bugatti has released further details on its upcoming targa-top version Veyron supercar, with officials from parent company Volkswagen stating that the car will be limited to only 80 examples, versus the 300 examples of the base car.

The targa-top Bugatti will feature the same 987-horsepower quad turbo W-16 engine and will be stiffened significantly as a result of the car losing its integrated carbon-fiber roof. Targa versions will be meticulously constructed alongside its coupe sibling at Bugatti's Molsheim, France facility.

Due to space constraints, the provided removable composite roof will not have a storage place inside the vehicle, but Bugatti will provide owners with a temporary cloth soft-top for instances of sudden inclement weather.

It's anticipated that the newly developed open top Veyron will suffer slightly in performance compared to the main car, if you can call 210-plus mph top speed suffering when it hits the 10 U.S. Bugatti showrooms sometime in 2009.
