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.
