Bugatti is planning to launch a new $1.9 million version of its Veyron supercar in 2008. The so-called Veyron Targa will receive a glass roof engineered by Webasto. Yes you guessed it right it’s the same German firm which did the folding roof on the Volkswagen Eos. Due to Veyron's tightly packed design, the Veyron's roof panel will have to be removed by hand and kept in the garage, as there is no room to store the panel. To compensate, the car will offer an expandable fabric cover that will slide in place of the glass and shield the interior from the elements. Bugatti will make up for the added weight by giving the car a carbon hood and doors and thus helping to bring the weight back to down to the coupe's level.
