According report, Bugatti is still pumping time and money into the Veyron. Not only is the development of a replacement underway, a more powerful Veyron GT is on the way and customers are already placing deposits on it.
Bugatti introduced the new version of Bugatti Veyron, will only have a production run of 300 units and with 230 of these already spoken for expect a successor to be well into its planning stages. Bugatti may be developing a high-end successor, and canning plans for a more-affordable model Veyron in the year of 2012.
Bugatti Veyron is also rumoured that Bugatti plans to release an even more powerful GT edition of the Veyron. The Veyron GT ‘s W16 quad-turbo engine will purportedly boast 1200hp and 1500Nms, an increase of around 200hp and 250Nms respectively, enough to propel the GT to an estimated 434km/h. The Veyron’s power unit, open to the air behind the driver, is four times the size of the engine in your regular family saloon and, boosted by four turbochargers, 10 times as powerful. And the price is 50 times that of the average car.
We’re not sure the Veyron needs any more power since it already packs an incredible 1001 hp, but Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, CEO of Bugatti, explained that “Bugatti Veyron customers are very extreme people.” Adding more power to the Veyron would certainly take it from extreme to very extreme. And the price will likely follow suit.
Paefgen also told Autocar that Bugatti will not be closing up shop after the 300th Veyron is built. Another range-topping vehicle is the next step, not a smaller, cheaper car that would allow Bugatti to sell in volume. It looks like the exclusivity of a Bugatti will remain as long as Paefgen is at the helm.
