Sources within Bugatti cited by AutoGuide say the Veyron successor is about to be launched as early as next year.
Back in February we detected Bugatti President Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber saying that there will be a second generation Veyron with additional power. 2 months later, a mysterious model was seen round the Nürburgring and it was surprisingly quiet, hinting that it would end up featuring some type of hybridization.
Now, AutoGuide has recognized from sources inside Bugatti the Veyron successor can retain the 16-cylinder engine however that may be a section of a hybrid system permitting the supercar develop the maximum amount as 1,500 PS (1,103 kW). It is believed Bugatti is targeting a high speed on the far side the 270 mph (435.31 km/h) achieved by the Hennessey Venom GT so as to reclaim the title for the world’s quickest automotive (even thought the Venom GT isn’t a series production car).
The same report mentions production are going to be capped at 450 units that feels like a lot taking into consideration Bugatti still hasn’t been ready to sell all Veyrons and that they had to resort to a ridiculous variety of special editions to clear the inventory, with twenty units still remaining beside a sixth and final Legend special edition.
