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.

Last Bugatti Chiron with 1,500 PS

At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show Bugatti revealed a mid-engine two-seater sports car, the Bugatti Chiron. The intention was to produce only 500 examples of this model, and now the last example with 1500 PS has left the production line in Molsheim.

The car is finished in Nocturno and Copper, and was delivered to its owner, Bilal Hydrie. Hydrie is the founder, CEO, and President of Inclusive Energy. He ordered his car back in November 2021, and at that time he paid about 3 million dollars for it. You could say cheap, given that at the beginning of 2023, the Bugatti Chiron Profilee was sold for $9.79 million.

Bugatti Chiron Profilee is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,480 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Bugatti Mistral. It reaches 62 mph in 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 380 km/h, which is 30 km/h more than the Chiron Pur Sport (350 km/h).

The Bugatti Chiron was produced in several versions, and it is still unknown how many copies of the Chiron Pur Sport model, as well as the Mistral and Bolide models with W16 engines are left. All of them should reach their owners by the middle of this year.

Bugatti’s plan is to replace the existing W16 engine with a hybrid V8 in the near future, which should arrive with the successor to the Chiron.

Rimac Bugatti and Volkswagen Group America agreement

At the 2023 Monterey Car Week Rimac Bugatti signed a contract with Volkswagen Group America for the distribution of Bugatti and Rimac cars on the American market. This agreement increases the availability of Nevera and Bugatti cars, but also better support.

“We are thrilled to continue distributing Bugatti vehicles through our newly signed agreements. We are also excited to import and distribute Rimac models through this collaboration, providing even more variety to our customers,” said Pablo di Si, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America.

This will be a powerful alliance between a major German brand that has a built-up sales and service network in the United States and the manufacturer of the most powerful and fastest electric car in the world.

“For both the Bugatti and Rimac brands, the US is the strongest single market in the world so it is important that we maintain a sales and ownership experience befitting the outstanding cars we deliver to customers. Working with Volkswagen America will allow our US dealer network to grow with vast experience and resources available to them,” said Mate Rimac.

Bugatti Rimac currently offers the Nevera Time Attack, a racing car built for new records and the Bugatti Mistral. Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 1.81 seconds with the title of EV with the highest verified top speed of 256 (412 km/h).

Bugatti Mistral is powered by a centrally located turbocharged 8-liter W16 engine with 1,600 hp (1,177 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. It reaches 62 mph (100 km / h) in just 2.4 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in 5.8 seconds, and 186 mph (300 km / h) in about 12 seconds. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
