We are hoping it’s not an SUV.
Bugatti has been very busy with the Chiron derivatives and the unique La Voiture Noire, a.k.a. The EB110 tribute Centodieci is the world’s most expensive car, followed by Super Sport 300+. Stephan Winkelmann, Bugatti’s president, hinted at an expansion of the lineup during a dinner conversation with Automotive News Europe at the headquarters at Molsheim.
Volkswagen Group is currently considering a four-seater model for its elite marque. It will sit alongside the powerful Chiron. It’s not an easy task, however. Because it is so different from the W16 hypercar, such a vehicle will require a large budget for development. Winkelmann stated that this is why. Bugatti It is necessary to obtain “sexy” funding to make it possible.
He made an interesting comment during the interview about a hypothetical scenario where all luxury brands of VAG would be under one umbrella. Winkelmann declined to discuss Bugatti possibly holding a public stock offer, but he said that he is not the one who makes these types of decisions.
The 54-year old executive from France, born in Berlin, said that if the French luxury brand can find funds to build a second model line. He stated that it wouldn’t be an entirely electric Chiron because he believes hypercars will still need a conventional powertrain.
However, Lamborghini’s ex-President and CEO mentioned that an electrified powertrain (perhaps a gasoline-hybrid) would make sense for a Bugatti daily driver at a lower price. Okay, “attainable” and Bugatti shouldn’t be used together because the Bugatti he was talking about would still come in at $1 million or three times the price of a Chiron.
The man in charge of Bugatti informed ANE, that almost all 30 units of the Chiron Super Sport300+ hypercars were sold in less than a week at $4 million each.
