New Bugatti rarely happens. If we do not count derivatives, the company from Molsheim during the period of concern Volkswagen presented only two models. Veyron was introduced in 2005, Chiron and in 2016. In 2024 we will finally get a new car.
With juicy rumors floating around the forums about what kind of engine the new car will have, we had to Bugatti to ask what is true. As expected, the company declined to comment on the speculation. However, he is the head of our communications department Nicole Auger said that everything will be clear somewhere in the middle of summer. So far, only information has been confirmed that he will still have it internal combustion engine, but not W16. 8,0 liter monster with four turbines it retreats, as they are Mistral roadster in Bolide, which is intended only for racetracks, the last two models to use this engine. What will come after him?
Reports are conflicting, with some claiming it will be 8,3 liter V16 engine, which he developed Cosworth, while others assume it will be a smaller engine than it is The V12 of Lamborghini's Revuelto ali V8 of the VW group. There is also a good chance that it will brand new engine. Regardless of what it will be, company representatives have confirmed that it will be next Bugatti hybrid. President of the Bugatti-Rimac board Mate Rimac previously said that the continuation of the Chiron model will "stunned". He also mentioned that he would new model got never-before-seen features and “highly electrified” powertrain that will be based on “to a very attractive internal combustion engine". The former Bugatti's design director Achim Anscheidt said last year that the car "even more incredible” from the model Mistral. "It will be incredible, proportionately, technologically, in terms of innovation, unexpectedness. It will absolutely blow people away and it's a real joy to work on."
Bugatti has been engaged in the design of the car since 2021. It is worth noting that the upcoming one was a hybrid hypercar the last vehicle from the pen Achim Anscheidt, who is at the helm after almost two decades Bugatti design retired in 2023. He is now in charge of drawing future vehicles Frank Heyl. While the Chiron was a heavily modified Veyron, it was supposed to be the new Bugatti drove on a new chassis. Rumor has it that the car could end up being even more exclusive from its predecessors, as it was Chiron 500 units produced, the Veyron only 450 units. As Mate Rimac shared on Instagram, the new model was shown behind closed doors as early as November 2023.
The preview took place at a meeting with the company's partners at the company's office in Berlin. It is interesting that they were hiding under the hood two cars. Although the world premiere is only a few months away, deliveries to customers will begin only in 2026. The French brand has its hands full with the completion of model production Mistral and Bolide, which are limited to 99 and 40 units, respectively. Meanwhile, it recently delivered the last "standard" Chiron.
