2009 Bugatti Veyron Targa

Volkswagen source has confirmed that Bugatti is indeed working on a Veyron Targa. Bugatti spokes person Georges Keller confirmed that his company is working on a “convertible”.The drop-top Veyron is due to launch sometime next year. Here's some maths for you. Out of the 300 Veyrons that Bugatti promised, 220 of them have already been spoken for and that leaves only 20 Veyron that will be launched in Targa version. But it’s still unknown if this Targa version will count towards the total figure. More details about 2009 Bugatti Veyron Targa along with its photo can be checked above.IL is reporting that the chassis will be heavily reinforced to cope with the loss of the crucial structural component. Production will begin next year along side the Targa's fixed-roof predecessor, and with the current Veyron going for around $2 million, don't expect to get your 217-mph (limited) top speed kicks without paying another $250,000 on top of the Veyron's base-price.

GRANDE PUNTO - PASSION ON THE MOVE

At launch there will be two petrol engine options: 1.2 8v (65 bhp) and a new 1.4 8v with 77 bhp; and four turbodiesels: 1.3 16v MultiJet (75 bhp), or 1.3 MultiJet with a variable geometry turbine (90 bhp); and 1.9 MultiJet with either 120 bhp or 130 bhp.
















The Grande Punto, the new Fiat that aims to repeat the historical success of the previous model, without following in its footsteps, makes its debut in Turin. Although in theory the car belongs to segment B, its size, equipment and characteristics actually represent an alternative to many segment C cars.

The Grande Punto is therefore unique in the world panorama, designed and built to be the new benchmark in stylistic terms, introducing a concept of larger 'dimensions'. The model also reaches safety and quality standards that are particularly high for its segment, it offers the best range of diesel engines and, finally, it has a very competitive price/content ratio. As a result of all these features, the Grande Punto interprets three fundamental qualities, beauty, solidity and brilliance in a highly original way.
