“Even more expensive than the Veyron”
3 Feb, 2008
21 Comments 
It is no secret that Bugatti has a second car in development to accompany the infamous Veyron. Although many expected a more subdued and affordable model, this may not be the case.
Bugatti official Julius Kruta has said the Veyron was only the beginning, and that the brand would soon build a second hyper-model.
“Even though it is not economically viable for us, we will do it again. We have bigger plans for the future and the next one from our stables will be even more expensive than the Veyron,”
Reading between the lines, does this mean this new model - unbelievably - will be even faster than the Veyron?
Despite the Veyron’s enormous million-dollar price tag, each car was sold at a loss and its predecessor will be no different.
“The idea was to make a showcase car to tell the world what the Volkswagen group is capable of doing if the sky is the limit, it is a statement car and we are not even meeting the cost of production.”
The Bugatti Veyron’s quad-turbo W16 powerplant already produces 750kW (a symbolic 1001 bhp) in a completely drivable package, one can only begin to imagine the ridiculous figures associated with Bugatti’s next model.

OZ….it is some people who come on here who have bottomless pits of money to fuel these hideous gas guzzlers; as impressive as they may be! Look at people on this website who spout long and hard about power, performance and other silly he man quick car stuff who drive for the market to have performance cars…MORE $ THEN “ANY” SENSE!

Yes Klink, people with bottom less pits of cash ;)

Honestly i dont see the point of an even more powerful Bugatti than the Veyron to be sold together.

407kmph!
Ultima is quicker and much faster on a track at about 1/20th the cost.
Cheers

I find it quite amusing when the old ladies start saying “I don’t see the point”, or “how much faster do supercars need to be”.
Why do you people who are ready to die browse a car enthusiasts’ web site anyway? Just go away and die with your mouth shut, please.
Or restrict your comments to the road test of the detuned Morris Isis.

Reckless1, When I said “how much faster do supercars need to be” I meant in a shocked way. I really think it’s amazing!!! …Don’t you? :)

all they are focusing on is power. a quote from Carrol Shelby “horsepower sells cars, torque wins races”, i would prefer a car with only 300HP and 750NM torque than one with 750HP and 300NM torque for the better acceleration. Also weight (the veyron is about 2 tonnes) and handeling, if i bought a car for that much it better be able to go round a corner.

Isn’t that successor?

Oz, yes I do, I mistook your remark, sorry. - I thought the Veyron was a brilliant engineering exercise, and am glad they are having another go.
Maybe because the Yanks made a staight line thing that went a tiny bit faster after 14 tries and lucking the right phase of the moon, they are going to ram one up them :)
Can’t wait to see what they do. VW seem to love stitching really good engines together to make REALLY good engines.
I reckon they’ll go diesel for this one, the V10 Touareg engine will be converted to common rail and become the W20, should be good for 1450nm or so. Will only need a Powerglide 2 speed box :)
ACFSambo, it’s impossible to have 750hp out of an engine that has 300nm - hp is a function of torque.

Frugal One - yes you might be correct that the ultima is quicker on the track but the Veyron wasn’t built to race, it was an engineering exercise by VW. It cost £5Million to build each Veyron that are sold for £800K. It a collectors item.

Fifth gear (top gears rivals) do a test on the veyron with tiff driving and he was extremely impressed, he has driven F1 cars and other very quick cars so it is a good track car as well.
Maybe we will see some R8 diesel tech going into the Veyron itis the same owners?

still make a loss at 2.4 million per car??
give me 2.4 million and I’d have several cars tuned to out run this.
its obviously an attempt to make another “status” car.

andrew- your tuned car wont have leather and air con, It would be striped out shell nothing but the necessities. the veyron is luxury performance. and a tuned car after a few thousand miles will have considerably more wear on it that the veyron. they had to make special tires just for it. you cant just go buy 250mph car tires.
