on the 15 August 2008 Bugatti announced the production of a targa top version, called Grand Sport. The car was unveiled at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the production that began in spring 2009. The Grand Sport comes with small tweaks to the windshield and running lights, and 2 removable tops. The 2nd is a temporary roof fashioned after an umbrella and inspired by pictures of classic Bugatti racers with umbrellas in hand. The Grand Sport can reach 406 km/h with the hardtop in place, the same top speed as the coupé version. With no roof, the top speed is limited to 369 km/h, and to 130 km/h with the temporary soft roof. The Grand Sport has extensive reinforcement beyond the standard Veyron, including carbon fiber doors, hoops, intake faces; carbon fibre enclosed transmission tunnel.

The first Grand Sport (code named: Chassis 001) was sold at the 2008 Gooding & Company Pebble Beach Auction with a winning bid price of $2.900.000. Approximately $900,000 of the auction price went to charity
