The ongoing trend amongst the supercar family is to go roofless but against those within budget open topped roadsters this drop top edition of the insanely fast Veyron by Bugatti would be an exception.

To ink a neat deal, you would be expected to pay some extra dough. True, it is no longer being seen as the world’s fastest street-legal production car but Bugatti’s flagship Veyron is heads up to be honored as the world’s fastest drop-top with the unveiling of a costlier and unique targa-top variant. Honest confession: The targa-top is being said to have a moderately lower top speed in contrast to the original coupe but interested owners can look forward to it would fly at a speed of 217mph.
