Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse gets 'most expensive exhaust system in the world'
Made from titanium
UK-based QuickSilver Exhaust Systems have developed an aftermarket exhaust setup for the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.

Without revealing an exact price tag, QuickSilver Exhausts says they have created "the most expensive exhaust in the world" made entirely from titanium granting the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse with a "brutal" soundtrack. The company also mentions they are the first to create a custom exhaust system specifically designed for the model.

Exact details have not been specified so we don’t know whether the aftermarket exhaust has increased the engine’s power. This doesn't really matter since the massive W16 8.0-liter quad turbo engine develops a whopping 1,200 HP (883 kW) and 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft). It's enough muscle to allow the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse rocket to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.6 seconds before topping out at 255 mph (410 km/h), making it the quickest production roadster ever made.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse La Finale returns in more official images
End of an era
Belgium media has managed to acquire more official images of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse La Finale.

Based on the Grand Sport Vitesse, it represents the 450th and final Veyron built by Bugatti after approximately ten years since production of the supercar kicked off in France at the factory in Molsheim,Alsace. It adopts a two-tone paint scheme similar to the first Veyron but the red and black theme has been inverted while the wheels adopt a ruby red finish.

The car will be on display starting tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show before heading over to its rightful owner in the Middle East. Just like the standard model, the Veyron La Finale is powered by a quad turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine unleashing 1,200 HP (882 kW) and 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft) of torque channeled to the road through a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox. This hardware setup enables the Grand Sport Vitesse hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in only 2.6 seconds before reaching a tested top speed of 253 mph (408 km/h).
