The Bugatti will be powered by a V16 engine

In a few months, Bugatti will present a new car that will replace the Chiron model, and the latest information says that it will be powered by a V16 engine as part of a hybrid powertrain.

Bugatti is still hiding details about this car, but it is already known that the new powerful 8.3 liter V16 engine will be developed in cooperation with Cosworth. The published video contains the sound of the engine, and some believe that it could be a naturally aspirated engine, which would not be a surprise because the video hints at a large number of rpm. It is rumored to be 9,000 rpm.

Also, there are many rumors and some of them say that the powertrain will include an 8.3-liter V16 in combination with three electric motors with a total power of 1,800 hp (1,342 kW). Of course, more information will be known in June, when the car will be premiered.

Bugatti Bolide will have the largest carbon brakes

Four years ago, Bugatti revealed a concept car based on the Chiron, the Bugatti Bolide. It is a really powerful car that is capable of reaching a speed of more than 400 km/h, and that requires serious control, i.e. braking force to stop this beast. From now on, the Bolide will be equipped with the largest carbon brakes that Brembo has ever produced.

It’s a special set of carbon brakes with eight-piston front and six-piston rear monobloc calipers, each made of nickel-plated aluminum, mounted on 15.3-inch (38.86 cm) carbon discs. There are also four brake pads on each wheel, and when you put it all together, you get the biggest carbon brake system Brembo has ever made.

According to Bugatti, these brakes are the same level of technology used in F1 cars and LMDh prototypes. In addition, they are designed to work for drivers of different experience levels. Also, the Bugatti Bolide offers a driving mode that can be set to simulate a wet surface, in order to provide a certain level of excitement.

The Bugatti Bolide is powered by an 8.0L quad-turbocharged W16 engine with 1,825 hp (1,361 Kw) and 1,364 lb-ft (1,850 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.17 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 4.36 seconds and a top speed of 311 mph (500 km/h).

Only 40 examples of this model will be produced, and each will cost $4.8 million.

Bugatti announced the arrival of a new hypercar this year

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.
