In his later years, the current Veyron has created special editions.
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was revealed in 2012.
For a time, the Veyron Super Sport held the title of fastest car in the world.
The Veyron has been hailed as a technical tour de force when it was launched in 2005.
The technical specifications of the Bugatti Chiron were leaked on Twitter at least an hour before its official reveal at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016.
A sheet of characteristics announced in our gallery reveals that the car will be powered by a turbocharged four 16-cylinder engine that produces an astounding 1479bhp at 6700rpm The unit also produces W16 1180lb ft of torque between 2000-6000rpm and sends drive to all four wheels by via a gearbox DSG seven-speed is able to accelerate the Chiron to a limited 261 mph top speed.
The name is taken from Chiron 1920s and 1930s great racer prices Louis Chiron, who scored notable results in the trials of the European Championship for Bugatti, including winning the 1931 French Grand Prix at the wheel of a Bugatti T51 His career was interrupted by the war, but he continued to race for Alfa Romeo Marqués including Mercedes and Maserati.
The latest spy photos show a prototype at an advanced stage for the Chiron test Although much of his style is camouflaged, new elements, including LED headlamps thinner, more prominent grille and flat hood can be seen is already known that Chiron take some style inspiration from the recent concept car Vision Gran Turismo, which debuted at the Frankfurt auto show in September at the time, Bugatti officials said the style of concept was first glimpse new corporate design.

Although no linear performance for Chiron were revealed, Wolfgang Dürheimer, president of Bugatti Chiron said the development of memory can be summarized in one sentence, what is probably the shortest in the history of the automobile as we want to do better much better Chiron will set new standards in every respect, we will continue to produce the most powerful, fastest, and most luxurious super sports car the most exclusive production of the world This is the claim of Bugatti of our customers.
In Louis Chiron, we found a pattern worthy of a new model in the history of our brand name of the best racing driver and the driver Bugatti's most successful time for the best super sports car these days is the ideal combination.
Chiron prototypes have already been spotted at the airport in Los Angeles this summer earier Durheimer promised No other super sports car production of this caliber will be subjected to such a rigorous comprehensive testing program ,.
Chiron models have been shown to potential customers Bugatti already said it already has 100 confirmed orders for the car Durheimer said the feedback from our customers about the Chiron is remarkable Our order book is filling up steadily more 100 customers have already ordered Chiron despite the fact that they have not had the opportunity until now to discover the fantastic driving properties of Chiron.
In early 2015, Bugatti has also released the first official video presentation for the car, accompanied by the declaration of a new chapter The sound of a motor can also be heard at the end of the video.
In June last year, the former boss of VW Martin Winterkorn group gave the first official confirmation of a successor to the Bugatti Veyron will be built - and said it will be a hybrid powertrain, as planned in 2014 by Autocar.
Next to the petrol model, there will be a hybrid version with the added performance for the first time, Winterkorn told the German magazine Bild It is not known if his comment suggests that there will be separate hybrid and conventional models engine, although development costs of two powertrains make it highly unlikely.
In 2014, revealed that the development work began on Bus monitor the Veyron with the firm seeks to improve the performance of its high hypercar with a new successor to 286 mph.
Replacing Veyron W16 engine must adopt a highly updated version of its supercharged predecessor 8 0 liters It will produce in the region of 1500ps 1479bhp, officials involved in the development of the new car revealed.
The highly anticipated replacement for the Veyron is set to leverage the key strengths of his successor by providing the fastest top speed of any road car series production and the type of driveability for you to use all days, according to company officials.
As with the car it replaces, the new Bugatti has been designed around a monocoque carbon fiber that provides seating for two in what is expected to be a very luxurious cabin, with all the latest technologies in connectivity.
The powertrain strongly revised, which receives an electric power steering is mounted on the rear wall in a disposition to traditional engine with drive sent to all four wheels via an automatic transmission with seven dual clutch transmission and multi -plate clutch four-wheel driving system.
The Bugatti previous plans to replace the mid-engine Veyron with a production version of the concept 16C engine before Galibier sedan were canceled after consultation with clients, who said he favored a more extreme sports car with performance to outrun the last harvest high-end supercars.
Since the launch of the original Veyron in 2005, the ranks of Hypercar were transformed with ever more advanced contenders.
The emergence of hybrid drive systems and motor battery boxes automatic double clutch transmission, and the further development of lightweight building technology and advanced active suspension systems, has resulted in an explosion of the performance potential, and that unprecedented levels of efficiency, as seen on recent arrivals such as the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder which all laferrari Bugatti has crosshairs.
Although the secrecy surrounding what exactly the specification of the engine, replacing Veyron name has not yet receive, Autocar can confirm that it is based on the same 8 0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 power plant than its predecessor.
The engine should receive a series of revisions Among them, a new direct-injection combustion process will replace the multipoint injection system that has been used until now This will be part of efforts to enable the engine to comply with the more stringent Euro 6 emissions and reduce fuel consumption economy the fastest Veyron derivative, the super Sport 1183bhp is set just 12 2mpg.
Other changes are also said to be in store for the induction system Nothing is official at this stage, but there are suggestions that the engineers in the development of headquarters of Volkswagen engines in Braunschweig, Germany, are seeking to equip the machine is configured with electrical exceptionally turbochargers.
This approach aims to stimulate already prodigious torque low engine range and improve efficiency levels by improving the thermal qualities.
However, the major information centers around plans to provide the new Bugatti with hybrid drive via an electric motor disc-shaped mounted in the gearbox housing and a lithium ion.
Together, the gasoline engine and electric motor are said to deliver 1479bhp By comparison, the Veyron Super Sport has 1183bhp sources suggest that couples Bus will be capped at 1100lb ft for gearbox reliability reasons.
Significant efforts are also being made to ensure that the weight of the new car remains well below that of the Veyron Super Sport 1840 kg despite the adoption of hybrid propulsion.
Much of the beginning of construction work has been focused on the monocoque carbon fiber, said an insider We have a lot of expertise centering construction around light within the Volkswagen group and we're drawing on what we start block various engineering targets.
Also playing a large role in the development of the Veyron successor will be a series of new active aerodynamic features that are designed to provide different downforce levels depending on the driving mode selected by the driver.
Among the targeted performance criteria by Bugatti with its new model is the Super Sport World Record Edition Official 0-62mph time of 2 5sec and 268 mph top speed While it is early days, the authorities have already advised potential clients the new car will be able to outshine the two existing points of reference in the balance of production.
Nothing is official, but a 0-62mph time of 2 3s and a top speed of 286 mph expressed in the areas of opportunity, according to an insider familiar with early computer simulations.
However, proving the speed could be difficult because of difficulties in finding a long enough test site and for tire technology to support such racing at high speed.
In anticipation of the arrival of the replacement Veyron, Bugatti has already started preparing an upgrade of its assembly facility in Molsheim, France Among the planned developments is an additional capacity of the production line and a larger warehouse to both to speed assembly time in order to reduce waiting time, according to a senior official Bugatti.
As with the car today, Chiron's production will be limited to 450 units.
