B-pillars have a cross-stiffened using a carbon fiber support, and the central carbon plate is placed under the transmission tunnel to ensure the vehicle suffers from less torsional flexing than any other roadster.The doors of the new Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport are made of carbon fiber, and the house of an integrated longitudinal beam.In the case of an accident, the transfer of charge from A to B-pillar, thereby spreading the impact energy. In addition, the two redesigned air intakes for the 16-cylinder mid-engine now has 10 cm wide, carbon fiber elements provide protection when deployed car.Along with moisture-resistant, leather backstitched, several new hardware features have been added to interior design, including rear-view camera is a 2.7-inch mirror, mirror, and the "Puccini" with digital audio processor signal processing.When the roof is closed, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport to reach 407 km / h, while speeds of up to 360 km / h are possible with roof.
