The long-awaited replacement for the Bugatti Chiron will be revealed next month, packing well over 1000bhp from a hybrid system that's based around a naturally aspirated V16 engine. The company recently revealed the shape and layout of the engine – as well as its screaming soundtrack – but Bugatti-Rimac CEO Mate Rimac has now given new details in an interview at the Financial Times Future of the Car conference in London.
Referencing founder Ettore Bugatti's famous slogan, he said: "You can achieve the power figures we have with the V16 from a very highly turbocharged V8, but we wanted to have it very emotional. It has to feel special, because 'if it is comparable, it is no longer Bugatti'." As for that power figure, while refusing to be drawn into giving a specific number, he suggested the next Bugatti will have comfortably more than 1000bhp.
