There is a geeky square-shaped umbrella that is stored in the front luggage compartment, and you can walk around with this in the rain. This cloth umbrella is what snaps onto the top of the open Veyron Granny and becomes the roof. It is also the reason why top speed is limited to only 130 kph with the flimsy top on. It floor the throttle and the car simply takes off. Since we’ve got a quadruple-turbo 8.0-liter W16 behind us that pumps out 986 horsepower and 922 pound-feet of torque, we expect a battle of physics with the Haldex all-wheel-drive system and limited-slip rear differential that should leave the tarmac with emotional scars and end with the car off the road. But instead the Veyron simply leaves the vicinity like a bullet from a sniper’s rifle.The power meter on the instrument panel swings round and just for a second we are godlike, using the full force of the ultimate car.
