Word on the grapevine suggests that the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4’s successor, slated to debut in 2016, will be that bit faster – the problem will be to see if it really stacks up to what’s claimed.
Autocar reports that Bugatti’s insiders say that the new car (as visualised by the publication, above) could well do 286 mph (or 460 km/h) and have a 0-100 km/h time of 2.3 seconds, based on current computer simulations.
As if the 1,184 hp found in the current car’s Super Sport configuration isn’t enough, the new one is set to have 1,500 ponies running off a hybrid powertrain using the same quad-turbo 8.0 litre W16 engine in place now, and this will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and multi-plate-clutch, four-wheel drive system.
The Veyron’s 268 mph (431 km/h) top speed, achieved through a Super Sport version, was already a bit of a stretch to obtain, given the limitations of the tyres then. With the new one, the publication says that unless tyre tech can keep up, the road-going rubber could well disintegrate before the new vehicle reaches its maximum speed.
Like the Veyron, the new Bugatti will feature a carbon-fibre monocoque and seats two in a highly luxurious cabin, complete with all the very latest in connectivity tech. Production is expected to be limited to around 450 units.

As long as it’s not UMWT, it will have new technologies!!!
This is what we talking about when you come to high speed cornering, smoke others, leave others in dust.
With the pathetic Iswara, Saga, Persona, Satria, Waja, Wira (ALL of them have no VSC, mostly not even airbags) on the roads, put everyone in danger, syok sendiri with the flowery handling… I also feel pity for you guys.
Got money, buy a Bugatti; no money, go buy EA Need for Speed: Rival (Around RM100). Maybe your life worth nothing but don’t endanger other drivers on the road.
Sorry, what are you trying to say?
If you want to speed, get a REAL sport cars or get a PC racing game.
Stop driving the outdated junk Proton (mostly no airbags and definitely no VSC) and keep on imagine in the car that you can smoke this smoke that. You only endanger others on the road.
Still dun understand? Want me send you the phone no of British Council for your english class?
hahahhaha! i laughed so hard at your reply to the hodor above
Because you’re trying to compare Proton with a Bugatti, a supercar.
So, again, what are you trying to say?
Why can’t compare Proton? proud of malaysia.
Suprima and Preve can smoke this bugatti(pergi mati) any time.
Prove by Tun DrM comfirm himself Global brand.
proton name always get stinks no matter what is compared with it.
Yes, please share the phone number.
Before you do, note that –
you can’t have “a” and “cars” in your sentence structure. Singular to describe Plural?
Why do you presume other ppl drive junk Proton? No meaning in the message.
Vios, lord of all cars. And it ‘has’ VSC ….
This is state of the art. Show off your wealth and push the engineering to the limit.
it’s not just the tyres, I recall the rims also have to be changed ever 2 tyre changes to ensure integrity of some seal.
what an insane car!
oh yeah here it is http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/exotic/1206_2013_bugatti_veyron_grand_sport_vitesse_first_drive/
“Michelin will only allow two sets of tires — they cost about $42,000 a set — be fitted to the Veyron before the rims — $69,000 a set — also have to be replaced to ensure the integrity of the bead seal at high speed.”
sultan johor sure will get one of this..
sultan brunei also..=)
what about self declare sultan melacca ?
already book mine…thanks to money earn from AP
Pembohong! Ko tak mampu nak book even takde tax sekalipun. Ko ingat harga dia cam harga ayam goreng pasar malam ke? Get the fact.
Just buy Proton no AP tax and import tax build quality comfirm by Tun DrM.
AP system is good for Gov can help improve automotive in Malaysia.
Thanks to AP system we can drive a car like Suprima and Preve.
Toyota is for uncle’s.
and i thought bugatti will be closed down after the production of veryron ended. seems i was wrong. bugatti is still very much alive! really wish they could come up with some ultra luxury limo like they used to tease few years back.
Just press Start Engine button and it already uses 1 litre of petrol. Push gear to D and you already use 2 litres of petrol
this I like!
next super duper special special version, they’ll put a jet enjine on top…0-100km/hr?…TBA.
My BMW quad turbo can smoke this without flexing muscle.Should I trade in my Z5 to this?
finally..the car i’ve been waiting for all these years. You see…i was too late in booking the earlier version but the dealer promised me the new facelifted version will be mine. Now that it’s here, i can’t wait to drive this beauty to pasar malam near my house and “action” to my neighbors
