Bugatti Chiron Successor Already Being Discussed

The Bugatti Chiron will remain in production for a while longer, but the supercar manufacturer is already discussing its next project. 

Speaking to Road & Track, Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Durheimer revealed the Chiron will stay in production for about six years, after which a successor will likely arrive. It takes quite a while to develop 1,000+ hypercars capable of topping 260 mph, so Bugatti is best off getting to work on the Chiron’s replacement sooner rather than later.

“Chiron will be with us for quite some time,” Durheimer said. “It is supposed to sell for six years—right now we have a waiting list of four years. We have now sold car number 300 out of 500 and we are doing 70 a year. We are not increasing the volume. So the question, what is the next one, needs to be answered in 2019. Next year is a pre-development year where we evaluate the different ideas.”

It’s not clear what may power the Chiron successor or if it will be a hybrid, but Durheimer made it clear it will be better than the Chiron in just about every respect. In his words, “the race will go on. We will go faster, quicker, and be better in every dimension.” The Chiron just broke the world record for accelerating from 0-400 km/h and braking back to 0, completing the feat in just 41.96 seconds. Performance like that will be hard to top, but we thought it’d be difficult to raise the bar past the Veyron and Bugatti did that fairly easily.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
