Beyonce buys Jay-Z a £1.3 million Bugatti

Superstar singer Beyonce has bought her husband, rapper Jay-Z, a £1.3 million
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his birthday.

The lavish gift meant that when Jay-Z turned 41 on December 4, he was the
lucky recipient of the world's fastest convertible.

The Veyron Grand Sport is powered by a 16.4-litre engine, developing 987bhp,
which propels it to 62mph in less than 2.7 seconds. Its 253mph top speed
officially makes it the fastest production convertible in the world.

Beyonce couldn't stretch to - or more likely couldn't get her hands on - the
ultimate Bugatti Veyron - the Super Sport. That version made headlines this year
by hitting a verified 267.8mph top speed, which makes it the fastest production
car in the world.
Only five cars capable of that speed were built, which are known as 'World
Record Editions'. The remaining cars are limited to a 'mere' 258mph.

Beyonce ordered her husband's Grand Sport over a year ago, and it's now the
latest of a large number of luxury cars owned by the rapper. Jay-Z's garage
includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Maybach, and a Pagani Zonda.

Careful interpretation of the lyrics to his song 'Empire State of Mind'
reveals that he could also own a Subaru Tribeca - which would probably be the
rarest car on his fleet.
