Bugatti unleashed details about their beastly new V16 engine destined for the upcoming Chiron successor at the “Automotive Future Summit” in London. This hybrid powerhouse throws out the turbochargers of the past, stretches nearly a meter long, and signifies the end of the classic W16 engine as Bugatti wraps up production of the Mistral and Bolide.
The engine will allow the car to get from 0-200 km/h in only 5 seconds
The new V16 muscles its way into a plug-in hybrid system, churning out over 1,000 horsepower by itself. But wait, there’s more! Three electric motors join the fray, two for the front wheels and one for the rear, bringing the total system output to a mind-blowing 1,800 horsepower. Bugatti boasts the car can launch from 0 to 200 km/h in a mere 5 seconds, hit 300 km/h in 10 seconds, and reach a staggering top speed of 445 km/h. For those wanting a taste of electric driving, a 24.8 kWh battery offers an 80-kilometer electric range.
Leaked spy photos suggest the interior will embrace a retro theme, drawing inspiration from the intricate design of Swiss mechanical watches. Production is expected to be extremely limited, possibly even below 300 units.
