The 500th Bugatti Chiron has rolled out of the production line, and now all eyes are on the highly-anticipated successor. In a recent announcement, Bugatti revealed that a brand new model will be unveiled on June 20th this year, marking the brand’s 115th anniversary.

With the concise tagline “Pour l’éternité” (For Eternity), Bugatti promises an explosive new model that will thrill speed enthusiasts worldwide. Three months ago, Bugatti announced that the iconic W16 engine, previously used in the Veyron and Chiron, will be replaced by a V16 hybrid powertrain.
While not officially confirmed, Auto Motor und Sport reports that this V16 engine is a collaboration with engine manufacturer Cosworth, boasting a displacement of up to 8.3 liters.

Intriguingly, the rear electric motor is said to be integrated directly into the 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which measures a substantial 1,999 mm in length. This setup also includes a 24.8 kWh battery pack, enabling the car to travel up to 60 km in pure electric mode.
Auto Motor und Sport further speculates that the Bugatti Chiron’s successor will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 2 seconds, reach 200 km/h in under 5 seconds, and hit 300 km/h in just 10 seconds. It is believed that the car will attain 400 km/h in under 25 seconds from a standstill, before ultimately reaching a top speed of 446 km/h.

In terms of design, the new Bugatti takes inspiration from iconic models such as the Type 57 SC Atlantic, Type 41 Royale, and Type 35—some of the most beautiful cars ever created by the brand. Teaser images reveal a larger horseshoe grille and a centrally positioned power dome on the hood.
At the rear, the taillights incorporate a 3D-effect Bugatti logo, similar to the W16 Mistral hypercar. Additionally, the design is smoother and extends horizontally across the width of the car, reminiscent of the one-off La Voiture Noire. Some sources even suggest that this hypercar will feature butterfly doors, akin to the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1.

One intriguing aspect of the interior is the all-analog instrument cluster, a departure from the digital displays favored by many other brands. This design was also featured on gifts that Bugatti sent to prominent car reviewers on social media, indicating a top speed of 550 km/h—50 km/h faster than the Chiron.
Auto Motor und Sport has disclosed that only 250 units will be produced, a significantly lower number compared to the 450 Veyrons and 500 Chirons previously built. The starting price for this model is €3.6 million, or $3.86 million at current exchange rates. The first deliveries are expected to reach VIP customers in 2026.
