If you thought the limited edition Bugatti Veyron Super Sport represents the pinnacle of what Bugatti is able to achieve in terms of motoring technology then you are wrong.
According to British magazine AutoExpress, Bugatti is working on developing a lighter and faster Veyron that is expected to reach top speeds of up to 270 mph and which could feature an exterior design inspired by Walter da Silva’s 1999 design proposal for the original Veyron which has never been displayed publicly.
(Note : Waler da Silva is currently the head of Volkswagen Group design)
This new Bugatti Veyron is most probably going to feature an optimized version of their current 8.0-litre W16 engine mated to an also optimized 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a power level of at least 1,200 HP and 1,500 Nm of torque.
This perfected engine combined with reduced weight, and a series of other tweaks here and there are likely to enable this new Bugatti Veyron to sprint from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 Km/h) in less than 2.5 seconds and reach record breaking top speed of 270 mph.
