Bugatti recently revealed insights into their powerful new V16 engine designed for the next Chiron iteration during the “Automotive Future Summit” held in London. This hybrid engine ditches traditional turbochargers, spans nearly a meter in length, and marks the conclusion of Bugatti's production of the Mistral and Bolide models.
Engine Power and Performance
The cutting-edge V16 engine integrates into a plug-in hybrid setup, generating over 1,000 horsepower independently. Complementing this, three electric motors come into play—two for the front wheels and one for the rear—resulting in a combined system output of a remarkable 1,800 horsepower. Bugatti proudly claims the car can accelerate from 0 to 200 km/h in just 5 seconds, achieve 300 km/h in 10 seconds, and attain an astonishing top speed of 445 km/h. Enthusiasts seeking an electric experience will appreciate the 24.8 kWh battery, providing an electric range of 80 kilometers.
Interior and Production Details
Leaked images hint at an interior design that pays homage to a retro aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the intricate craftsmanship of Swiss mechanical watches. Anticipated production numbers are rumored to be exceptionally limited, potentially falling below the mark of 300 units.
