Stepping into a new era, Bugatti reveals its next-generation hypercar, a powerful plug-in hybrid.
The yet-to-be-named successor to the Chiron ditches the pure internal combustion engine for a hybrid powertrain featuring a high-voltage battery and three electric motors.
Similar to other hybrid setups, one motor sits at the rear while the others propel the front wheels, enabling a limited electric-only driving range.
But let’s be honest, the allure of this Bugatti isn’t about eco-friendly commutes, and it’s the prestigious badge and the mighty heart of the beast: a naturally aspirated V16 engine.
Bugatti is revving up to unleash a new monster on the track. This upcoming Chiron-based hypercar boasts a revolutionary powertrain that combines the thunderous legacy of the W16 engine with the surging power of electric drive units.
The result? A potential contender for the title of most powerful Bugatti ever, with an estimated output exceeding 1,800 horsepower.
While whispers suggest the final version might settle at a mighty 1,578 horsepower, matching the mighty Super Sport, this new machine pushes the boundaries of performance even further.
