At the beginning of the year, the companies publish data on the business achieved in the previous year, but also plans for the future. Thus, Mate Rimac used the opportunity to announce that the successor of Bugatti Chiron is currently in the process of development, and that it will have its premiere in 2024.

In a video released this month, Rimac spoke about the corporate structure of the new factory. He said he thinks there is a future for internal combustion engines, which was a surprise for someone who owns a company whose success is based on fully electric cars.

Rimac also said that we will be enchanted by the new hyper car, which brings characteristics that no production car had before it. Does this suggest that Bugatti will keep the W16 engine, since Lamborghini kept the V12 engine for the Aventador’s successor ?!

If the predictions come true, we will have something really crazy. The current Bugatti Chiron is powered by a 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine with 1,479 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in 2.4 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 261 mph (420 km / h).
