The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport provides a maximum of safety both during acceleration and at high speeds.
This superior security is made possible by the precise aerodynamic balance of lift and downforce. Ground clearance and the position of the rear spoiler are adjusted automatically to suit the driving situation, keeping the super sports car securely on the road. The four-point electronic stability programme additionally enhances driving safety at high speed. At the heart of the system is the four-wheel drive: the Haldex clutch distributes the torque to the front and rear axles, while the rear differential lock ensures the dynamics of the rear wheels for smooth negotiation of fast curves.
The perfectly designed suspension and precise steering give the car excellent stability even at top speeds. The electronic stability programme (ESP) acts on each individual wheel, resulting in previously unmatched reaction times. The ESP also provides intelligent motor management control. At the centre of this highly sophisticated technology is the telemetric computer, which controls all vehicle data. This information can be accessed at all times via the Grand Sport’s PDA, integrated in the dashboard.

The consistent use of carbon fibre in the car’s body ensures enhanced rigidity despite the open form of the Grand Sport. This lightweight, yet ultra-strong material is also used to reinforce the doors, resulting in the lowest torsion to be found in a convertible. Indispensable but commonly unsightly, the roll hoops in the Grand Sport are smartly integrated in the air sockets. Thus, they provide constant rollover protection while remaining completely invisible.
