Bugatti Chiron teaser released!

The Bugatti Chiron is scheduled to make its debut at the 86th Geneva motor show in 2016. After several spy shots and an official confirmation of the car's name, Bugatti has released a teaser of its next hypercar.

The image does not reveal much as the car is under a veil, but the side profile looks similar to that of its predecessor, the Veyron. The design is in line with a sketch that Bugatti has been showing to prospective customers and is also similar to the Vision Gran Turismo concept. The Chiron is being shown to select customers and more than 100 orders have already been received. The Chiron is almost done with its final testing phase, with a number of prototypes spotted in several continents for the fine tuning process.

Reports suggest that the Chiron will be powered by a redesigned version of the W16 engine that was used in the Veyron, with output figures being quoted at around 1,500 BHP and 1,500 Nm of torque. The new car is likely to make the use of a hybrid electric powertrain to boost its performance. The top speed is speculated to hover in the range of 435 - 450 km/h. While the public debut will take place in March, more official images are expected to be revealed in the run up to the in-the-metal debut.
