Bugatti Chiron successor to be unveiled in 2024 with V8 hybrid

The Chiron successor hypercar will continue to feature all the iconic design cues of the brand.

Bugatti has confirmed that its all-new hypercar will be unveiled sometime in 2024, with production expected to commence in 2026.

The all-new hypercar will be a successor to the Bugatti Chiron and will come powered by a V8 hybrid powertrain, ditching the brand's famed W16 engine. The new powertrain will make use of the electrical expertise of Croatian brand Rimac, which merged with the French hypercar maker back in 2021.

Bugatti's head of design, Achim Anscheidt, stated in an interview that the car's design was ready to go. He confirmed that the prototype tooling was delivered a few months ago, with the production tooling expected to be delivered in a couple of months. The Bugatti Chiron successor will be Anscheidt's final project with the hypercar brand, as he will be stepping down from the role after being with the company for 19 years.

Coming back to the car itself, the Chiron successor hypercar will continue to feature all the iconic design cues of the brand. This includes the C-shaped side bodywork and the horse-shoe grille up front. However, shifting from a W16 to a V8 hybrid will see the new Bugatti hypercar being built around a completely new chassis. Inside, the new hypercar is expected to have a familiar feel featuring an elegant design & ornate controls. One new addition though, will be a large central touchscreen infotainment display which has been absent on the Chiron and all its iterations over the years.

Reports state that the new Bugatti hypercar will be costlier than even the $5 million limited-version Mistral. Post the launch of the Chiron successor, Bugatti is also expected to turn its focus on producing EVs sometime in the future.
