布加迪近日证实正在开发一款全新车型,该车将于2015年底或2016年初上市。大众集团设计主管席尔瓦近日在接受媒体采访时透露，新车将是“一件艺术品”，公司“为开发新技术倾注了大量心血”，以便能推出一款“足以重新设定新标杆”的车型。据传，新车仅限量生产450辆，采用混动系统，包括一台取自威航的W16 8.0升四涡轮增压引擎和一台电机，综合输出功率1103千瓦/1500马力，最高时速可达435公里。由于采用混动系统导致重量增加，新车将采用一系列轻量化措施以抵消掉新增的重量，现行版威航重量为1888公斤。

 

New Bugatti confirmed for late 2015 / early 2016 launch, will be 'more than' a Veyron replacement

Bugatti has confirmed an all-new model is on the way and will be introduced either towards the end of 2015 or early 2016.

 

The Bugatti Veyron was launched back in 2005 so naturally a new model is in the works and promises to be "more than" just a replacement, according to VW Group's design chief Walter de Silva. In an interview given to Top Gear, he refused to provide any additional details but did say it will be a "piece of art" and the company has put "a lot of effort in the technology" to create a product that will "redefine the benchmarks."

 

According to the latest rumors, Bugatti's new model will be limited to 450 units and will stick with the Veyron's W16 8.0-liter quad turbo engine but teamed up with an electric motor. The resulted hybrid system is believed to generate a whopping 1,500 PS (1,103 kW) which should allow the French supercar hit a maximum speed of more than 270 mph (435 km/h). Some serious weight saving measures are certainly prepared in order to offset the added hybrid technology, especially taking into consideration the Veyron weighs a hefty 1,888 kg (4,162 lbs).
