Its look at China's largest motor show will be the very first time that lovers from all around the planet get the opportunity to view the planet record-holder for the quickest creation roadster. The brand new world record has inspired Bugatti to create a World Record Vehicle (WRC) variant, the creation of which is restricted to only eight vehicles.

The 1, 200 PS Vitesse was revealed in Shanghai from the President of Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, Bugatti, and world-record and Chinese entrepreneur setting driver, Anthony Liu.

"China is really one of the very significant markets in Bugatti's scheme for the future and we're aiming for an increase here which is secure and sustainable", explains Dr Schreiber. For this reason we chose to encourage a Chinese Bugatti enthusiast to establish the recordbreaking time within the Vitesse which is also the reason why we chose to bring the automobile to Shanghai", he continued.

"An opentop production sports-car hasn't reached a documented rate of over 400 km/h before. I was honoured to be one the driving with this accomplishment" described Anthony Liu. "I desire to thank Bugatti as well as the staff for making this potential as well as need to congratulate them on this amazing auto."

Not one of the technology within the vehicle was altered for the recordbreaking excursion. Its powerful handling could be credited to a racing chassis which, along with exceptionally quick-acting shock absorbers and strengthened antiroll bars, ensures precise control of both fourwheel-drive system and the whole vehicle. Other variables which help push the vehicle towards the maxima of functionality include a conventional carbon monocoque with high torsional rigidity and an outer casing made completely of carbon fiber.

Keeping wind sound and air turbulence to a minimum within the automobile's inside is a special issue with opentop vehicles. The Vitesse includes a specially-developed roof spoiler as well as an intricately-designed windbreak to ensure quiet opentop driving. These characteristics were crucial in assisting the vehicle achieve the recordbreaking rate of 408.84 km/h.

For its recordbreaking drive, the Vitesse is made over with a strong double-colour scheme in black plus a brilliant Arancia orange, perfectly blending its internal characteristics into its exterior look.

The whole vehicle outside, including the oil and gas cap as well as its air ducts, are crafted from black visible carbon. The Arancia orange paintwork, which glides in the fender, over the wing for the on the other side of the door, assures the automobile turns heads wherever it goes. Great details, for example the Arancia paintwork to the underside of the rear wing as well as the interior of the striking double diffuser, accentuate the auto's eyecatching style. The powerful color scheme can be reflected within the orange EB logo to the oil and gas cap as well as the Vitesse lettering to the engine cover, whilst the traditional Bugatti horseshoe radiator grill is framed in Arancia with this special version layout. The car's distinguishing appearance is rounded off by hitting wheel rims also in eyecatching orange, a characteristic that's only obtainable within the Vitesse World-record version. A black variant of the well-known Bugatti symbol, known in French as the Macaron, on the very front part of the automobile plus a black automobile bon EB emblem framed in aluminum add another touch of sophistication to the layout.

Inside

The black and orange motif continues to the automobile's inside where the black internal portions of the leather seats are outlined with orange leather on the sides. An orange quilting stitch around the black sections of the seats and orange seat-belts add another dab of colour. The color scheme continues within the comparison and quilting stitch to the center tunnel, to the selector lever, as well as within the trimming of the door pockets and door handle recesses.

An orange stitching trim adds a touch of aspect to the black leather steering-wheel, which includes a ring of observable carbon in the 12 o'clock position. The EB logo within the leather back panel can be made from observable carbon.
