Bugatti, the renowned French hypercar manufacturer, is set to reveal its highly anticipated successor to the Chiron. The grand unveiling is scheduled for June 20.
A Bespoke Design Inspired by Classics
The Chiron successor promises to be a completely bespoke design, meticulously engineered from the ground up. Bugatti draws inspiration from some of its most iconic models, including:
- Type 57 SC Atlantic: Known for its timeless elegance, the Type 57 SC Atlantic is one of the rarest Bugattis ever made. Fashion icon Ralph Lauren owns one of the four ever produced.
- Type 41 Royale: An exceptionally luxurious car, the Royale was a symbol of opulence and exclusivity. Bugatti aims to capture this spirit in the new hypercar.
- Type 35 Grand Prix: The Type 35 is legendary as the most successful Grand Prix race car in history. Its influence on the Chiron successor is evident in the pursuit of performance excellence.
The Heart of the Beast: V16 Engine
At the core of the Chiron successor lies a mighty V16 engine. Unlike its predecessor, which featured a quad-turbocharged W16, the new powertrain will be naturally aspirated. Most reports indicate that it will be a 8.3 L engine. Bugatti promises over 1,000 horsepower, making it a force to be reckoned with on both road and track.
Design Cues and Luxurious Ambiance
While Bugatti has provided only glimpses of the exposed bodywork, we can discern the trademark horseshoe grille and the iconic Bugatti macaron. The latter returns to its traditional red color scheme, paying homage to the brand’s heritage.
Inside, the hyper car will continue the opulence theme. Chrome elements create a luxurious ambiance, and the intricate speedometer resembles a Swiss complication chronograph. The hood appears to open, allowing occupants to stow luggage for continent-crossing grand tours.
The Countdown Begins
As the days tick down to June 20, enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await the Bugatti Chiron successor. With its V16 engine, bespoke design, and nods to Bugatti’s illustrious past, this hypercar promises to redefine automotive excellence.
