Yesterday Bugatti announced a new limited edition version of the Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse to celebrate their new world record of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph). That’s 408 km/h with the top down, and that makes the fastest convertible car in the world. Lucki for us, Evo’s Harry Metcalfe and his camera crew were present at VW’s Ehra-Lessien facility to document the record-breaking run. So hit the jump for some fascinating behind-the-scene footage.

Harry also gets to drive the Vitesse WRC and hits 350 km/h:

The Vitesse WRC, save a couple of bespoke visual details, is identical to the normal Vitesse models. It’s got a 1,200 horsepower engine and costs 1.99 million Euro. The car is limited to eight units, one of them already bought by Anthony Liu, the man who set the record.
