It seems to be exactly the same as the standard Veyron but without a roof! Which means that now, you can do 250mph with no roof and pull a clarkson face:

It is a great face. It's a shame that the Veyron still looks hideous though.

All that money for an ugly car, shame they couldn't make it functional and sexy.

I'd still take it.
Performance over looks anyday tbh.
400km/h top speed, compared to say, a Corvette than can only go maybe 250-300km/h.

I'll take a ZR-1 and 885K spare change. 205mph is enough for me.

I'd rather have looks over performance because when it comes to driving you won't be doing more than say, 120mph - which most cars, let alone supercars, can do easily

It has a horrible engine note aswell. Or do I mean exhaust. Meh, if your pendantic enough to notice this then your as sad as I am

It's engineering genious, and I respect that, but I still think that it is very ugly. However, the car wasn't built to look pretty. It even changes shape as it reaches higher speeds - and that's the real beauty behind the car.

At 250 MPH your ear drums are gonna bleed with the roof off

I actually dont mind how it looks, but I really cant see the point of this, because if most people find it to be ugly, no-one is going to buy the roof-on version, let alone this. The ones who dont mind how it looks will most likely only be interested in the speed, which is going to be seriously comprimised by the lack of roof, rendering this one kind of pointless

I seriously hope you are not comparing the looks to a Corvette.

16 pistons at 250mph is going to be a whole lot more reliable than 8pistons.

Like I said here, I used to deliver to a man who has one (Don Wallace). I don't know if it's the grand sport though. He also has a couple Enzos .. his son wrecked one of them.. omfg

Pope John Paul II was given the 400th Enzo model by the factory. He sold the car at a Ferrari auction in Maranello, where it was bought by Donald W. Wallace, whose first Enzo is the second Enzo to be involved in a crash.

Edit:

I found a video of some of his cars. He bought an old firehouse in south Tampa to store them.

The Veyron looks about as appealing as Clarkson's face in the OP.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
