The world's fastest roadster The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse - 1200 bhp and 255 mph


 It's the roadster version of the world's fastest car, which makes it the world's fastest roadster at 410 km/h (255 mph ), though in real life it will be limited to 375 km/h (233 mph) 





The Bugatti engine has 16 cylinders, eight camshafts, four turbochargers and 64 valves. The cylinders are arranged in a W16 engine formation - the engine is essentially two four liter, narrow-angle V8s, displacing 7.9 liters in total and producing 987 horsepower in its original version. 




Everything about the Veyron had to be extra strong to carry the immense loads, and you could spend hours studying the cleverness of each and every component, none moreso than the 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system developed by Ricardo specifically for the Veyron.
