The Bugatti Veyron Targa is set to be showcased at the upcoming (next month) 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. While it will be great to see the Veyron Targa through other means than publicity shots, “elegance” might be a hard sell for this beast of a car.

The supercar becomes a targa through a removable hardtop. So that you, if you are fortunate enough to acquire a Veyron Targa, won’t have to stuff the removed hardtop into the nonexistent backseat, a fabric cover can be pulled out should the forces of nature require it. Naturally, reinforcements have been installed to keep the chopped up roof from making the car twist in all the wrong ways when you do nothing more than fire up the engine.

The Targa will sport an increased weight and a reduced speed, and as such, presumably be a bit less fun. However, as we know, in the world of supercars, less is more, so expect to have to shell out a bit more than the about 2 million dollars the original version demands.

The first Bugatti Veyron Targas will roll out onto the streets next year.
