Bugatti planning Grand Sport Sang Noir?

The Sang Noir's exposed carbon fiber and the Grand Sport's exposed cockpit could be a perfect match

Only 300 Bugatti Veyrons will be made, and already a fair portion of that allotment have been built as limited edition specials, including the Pegaso, Hermes, Pur Sang, and Sang Noir. The latter, an exposed-carbon fiber special that eschews paint in the interest of weight and raw appeal, may be getting another version, based around the topless Veyron Grand Sport, according to the latest reports.

While such a car may seem counterintuitive in the way that a Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spyder does to the performance-minded, it could make for a stunning piece of automobilia, and a fine contrast to the white Grand Sport revealed at Pebble Beach this year.

The report grows out of the sighting of a customer Sang Noir alongside a model of a topless version of the same at an exclusive customer event, according to CAR. Only 15 of the hyper-exclusive Sang Noirs are to be built in coupe form, but it now appears about that many could be built in Grand Sport roadster form as well.
