After perhaps the most controversial edition of the Chiron model, the Chiron Profilée, Bugatti has announced that it will introduce a new hypercar in the middle of the year. There is not a lot of information about the car at the moment, we know that it will be powered by an internal combustion engine, but not a W16.

Earlier, the CEO of Bugatti-Rimac, Mate Rimac, said that the public will be amazed by the Chiron’s successor, which will have unprecedented performance and that its drive will be “significantly electrified”, but based on a very attractive ICE. The former director of Bugatti’s design, Achim Anscheidt, said last year that the new model will be even more impressive than the Mistral.

Bugatti has been working on the new hybrid hypercar for three years, and the design will be done by Anscheidt, who retired last year after nearly two decades at the head of the design department.

The new Bugatti model will have a new chassis, and when it comes to the powertrain, some rumors say it will be powered by an 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 Cosworth engine, while others speculate a smaller engine like the V12 in the Lamborghini Revuelto or the V8 engine from Volkswagen Groups. The least chance is that it will be a new engine.
