    Just got in yesterday, saw it while I was at taco bell pull into the lot. Ran over and snapped some pics, talked the guy who was driving it. He said it was the first one in the U.S.?

    None the less, pretty cool in person.

    Saw this Bugatti pulling into the parking lot of Symbolic today around 11.30 am PT (behind it was a Ford GT red/white)...I was across the street at Sports Car Company checking out a 360 and a Z8. Stunning...but yeah, not a fan of the wheels (wtf).

    It's a stock Veyron Grand Sport judging from the pics. I'm not a fan either.

    In every case that I can remember, when you cut the top off the car, it looks better. In every case but this one I'm afraid. This is the first car I can think of that seems to look worse when the top is removed.

    But, I've never been a big fan of the look of this car so maybe I don't get it. I love what the car is and what it can do. I just don't like the way it looks.

    What they said, although I think it looks odd either as coupe or targa.

    I was at Symbolic on Saturday right before the test drive. It's an awesome achievement, just not one that I would want to look at. If it was a $20K Pontiac, we would all be laughing at it.

    It is a Factory Grand Sport as others have said. It was up here at Silicon Valley Auto Group (Symbolic's sister store) last week, with another GS. One had 800 miles on it and the other had 1100 +, both Press Cars. Both drove quite lovely as well at 3-5mph :)

    Wow! That looks really really nice. I wonder if it will let you go 200+ with the top down.

    If I recall from a test drive, they said this car will go up to 218mph with the top down. Not as fast as the coupe, but still bloody fast enough

    That has got to change the safety of this car. Once you compromise the egg, your dead!
