Bugatti CEO, Franz-Josef Paefgen in an interview with AutoTelegraaf has revealed that the Veyron will be replaced with a new model sometime around 2011-12. Which is news in its own right but even moreso when you consider that Bugatti will not be backing off the pace – the Veyron’s replacement will be just as formidable as the original.
In a world with ever tightening emissions regulations and fuel efficiency requirements the Bugatti engineers will somehow continue to the keep the Veyron replacement out in front of the supercar pack.
The replacement for the Veyron is said to follow the same overall theme as the current car, so expect in excess of 1,000hp, four turbo-chargers and a W16 engine. Possibly the only criticism leveled at the Veyron was its ability on a race track. Straight-line speed was never an issue but the twisty bits are said to slow it down, although ‘slow’ in this context is a relative term. Not so for the reported replacement, with Bugatti believed to be keen to re-establish a racing pedigree through a racing program involving the Veyron Mk II or whatever it is that they plan to call it.

It will be a truly ag-ed Bug by that time. Remember, the current car was originally drawn and planned back in the 90s.
There’s no denying it is still a great looking car though Gunnar. If only I had the money… Do you think they’d accept an I O U?
Hopefully its less ugly.
Mad absolutley mad and i love it ! Bring on the super Bug !
It IS a fantastic looking car. You’re right, jbot. And its looks will likely endure.
Hey Jbot want to go shares in one? They seem to be doing this with current one at the moment.
Wonder what a service costs? May have to go shares in that too!
Heya Bav Missile ! Actually you will need alot of shares as you have to fly the whole team to the car to get it serviced i think? Correct me if im wrong by all means heheee :o)
