Thats bloody right! Got my motor mag in the mail yesterday and it mentions that it will get an optional 200kw increase!
 : And estimate top speed to be around 435km/h.There will also be a price hike to be able to expand production to reduce the waiting times for delivery. |

Did they make it look nicer?
I swear those things are one of the ugliest supercars ever made. They have awesome performance though. |

It's no surprise, I heard the W16 motor was originally detuned to meet current tyre technology. This must mean they must have developed a new tyre that can handle the speeds.

I'm wondering if the cost of tyre repairs includes technician flight to your location. Or do you take it to Bob Jane?

I’m disappointed they promised a lighter sportier version too. More power doesn’t always equal sportier (have a look at the lap times of the Supercharged V8 Mercs compared to the twin-turbo V12s for proof). They might’ve found it easier to add power than to cut weight out of that 2000kg porker.

Bugatti Veyron GT
Volkswagen is determined to make its Bugatti brand work, so the long-delayed Veyron will have at least one other variant. A four-seater GT has been rumoured, with the 16-cylinder, 1,000bhp engine. ripped from this site http://www.channel4.com/4car/future-models/2009.html
