The upcoming Ferrari F250 could be the brand's first four-wheel-drive hypercar.

Ferrari has been working on its all-new hypercar, codenamed F250, for nearly a year now. The new hypercar from the Italian brand is a replacement for the LaFerrari, which came out in 2013.

As per reports, the new Ferrari hypercar will borrow a lot of elements from its F1 & Le Mans technology to make the ultimate road car. The prototype, spied on multiple occasions, gives us a glimpse of what to expect. It shows the car sitting low down, with plenty of air vents in the front and a large wing, along with a massive diffuser at the rear. Further to this, the new hypercar can also be seen with narrow cabin proportions and several air channels along the bodywork.

However, reports also suggest that the new hypercar could come fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 derived from the brand's 296 GTB, as well as, on the Ferrari 499P Le Mans car. The V6 though will be paired with a hybrid power unit. This is in line with the brand's pledge to offer tech from its F1 & Le Mans cars, both of which are powered by V6 engines. Reports also state that considering the 296 GTB itself makes 819 BHP, the upcoming hypercar could offer well over 1000 BHP of power output.

Also, with the V6 engine paired with a powerful hybrid setup potentially powering the front wheels, the upcoming Ferrari F250 could be the brand's first four-wheel-drive hypercar.

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.

There will also be a track-focused XX version in 2026 limited to just 30 units and a convertible version limited to 199 units, and expected to arrive in 2027.

Ferrari is said to be working on a new hypercar - a successor to its LaFerrari. The new hypercar will reportedly debut in 2024 and follow the lineage of the F40, F50, Enzo and LaFerrari.

A new spy video has been released online which gives us a first glimpse of the upcoming hypercar from the Italian supercar brand. The spy video showcases the new car covered completely in camouflage, although certain design elements can be seen. This includes a massive wing at the rear, large openings on the front bumper, and a ducted portion to channel air over the windshield. At the back, there are two high-mounted exhaust pipes and a massive diffuser at the bottom.

The upcoming hypercar prototype features a warning sticker, indicating it could be offered with a hybrid powertrain.

Reports suggest that Ferrari could debut the new hypercar sometime in October 2024 and plans to build 599 examples. There will also be a track-focused XX version in 2026 limited to just 30 units and a convertible version limited to 199 units, and expected to arrive in 2027.

Rimac also hinted that the Bugatti Chiron's successor could have its global debut sometime as early as next year.

According to media reports, electric hypercar brand Rimac is said to be developing an all-new combustion engine, which will power Bugatti's next hypercar.

Mate Rimac, the founder of the EV hypercar brand, confirmed that the company is developing a new hybrid-combustion powertrain, which will be "bonkers" and that "everybody will be blown away" with the engine's capabilities.

Reports suggest that Rimac was working on a new combustion engine two years before their merger with Bugatti. The French hypercar brand initially had planned to develop an electric CUV similar to the Ferrari Purosangue. However, after the merger, Mate Rimac stopped the project, opting to go for a hybrid hypercar instead.

The new Bugatti hypercar will be the successor to the brand's Chiron. Mate Rimac explained that the Chiron successor will be a "hypercar rearranged as a hybrid". The new model will be completely fresh & built from scratch, without carrying forward even a single part from either the Chiron or the Nevera.

The debut of the new hypercar in 2022 will also mark the brand's 20th anniversary since the start of deliveries of its first production car, the CC8S.

Koenigsegg has released a teaser for its new hypercar that is likely to be unveiled in 2022. A teaser image posted on the brand's social account shows a silhouette of the new model, which features simple lines and a teardrop-shaped cabin with a wrap-around windscreen.

The new hypercar is said to borrow cues from the company's older models, such as the CCX, the CCR and even the Agera. The debut of the new hypercar in 2022 will also mark the brand's 20th anniversary since the start of deliveries of its first production car, the CC8S.

While details of the upcoming hypercar are scarce, reports do indicate that the new model could share a number of technologies with the Koenigsegg Gemera - the brand's four-seater hypercar. This includes the company's in-house developed 'Free Valve' technology, used in the Gemera's 2.0-litre, twin-turbocharged, three-cylinder engine, which, combined with 3 electric motors, produces over 1,700 BHP and 3,500 Nm.

Vulcanol is said to produce 90 per cent fewer CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuel.

Koenigsegg could soon be offering its hypercars powered by volcano fuel. According to a media report, company founder Christian Von Koenigsegg is looking at different types of renewable fuels to power the brand's future models.

While the company will be developing high-voltage and high-energy-density battery packs, it is also looking at alternate biofuels to power its internal combustion engines. One such alternate fuel, Koenigsegg is said to be looking into, is 'Vulcanol'.

As per reports, vulcanol is said to be a version of methanol, which is created by capturing the CO2 emissions from semi-active volcanoes. The technology used to capture the CO2 emission is said to have been invented in Iceland by Carbon Recycling International.

Reports also suggest that vulcanol is said to produce 90 per cent fewer carbon emissions, compared to conventional fossil fuel. Christian von Koenigsegg also claimed that any vehicle running on this alternate fuel and equipped with the right after-treatment systems "can kind of clean up the particles in the atmosphere, while using the engine".
