Bugatti plans a sinister, exposed carbonfibre version of its Grand Sport roadster. The €1.4 million, 253mph Grand Sport, was presented at an exclusive customer premiere in Cannes, where the Sang Noir carbonfibre special edition was twice represented.

A customer car, identified by its unpainted carbonfibre spine, piano black panels and tangerine interior, was present. Bugatti was clearly using it to tempt customers with a Sang Noir roadster, and it also showed a model of the carbonfibre roadster (pictured).

Just 15 Sang Noir coupés (the name is French for ‘black blood’) will be made, but expect a similar number of roadsters to follow the 987bhp Grand Sport, which will be available to customers in April 2009.
