We know Volkswagen AG is currently preparing a successor for the Bugatti Veyron. What we don’t know is how VW is going to manage creating a successor for the official "world’s fastest car." Well, according to a Bloomberg report, three different concepts are currently being tested in anticipation for a car that can fill the enormous shoes the Veyron will leave behind.
The new car is expected to be lighter and more powerful than its predecessor; rumors point at the potential that it’ll be 25 percent more powerful than the Veyron Super Sport. Considering the Veyron SS has 1,200 horsepower under its hood, this is quite the feat. There’s also talk that at least one of the aforementioned three concepts is carrying an electric motor, leading to the possibility that past rumors of a hybrid Bugatti may not be hearsay after all.
Neither Volkswagen nor Bugatti have laid out detailed plans for the Veyron’s successor, but a Bugatti spokeswoman, Manuela Hoehne, did say that an outlook on a new model should be available next year. VW design chief Walter de Silva also told TopGear that the new model could make its debut at the end of next year, probably around early 2016.
From now until its official debut, we can at least be assured that Bugatti and Volkswagen are not sitting idly by as the Veyron enters its personal twilight. A successor is coming. It’s just a matter of waiting for it to arrive.
