How do you build a successor to the Bugatti Veyron? By building a Bugatti Veyron successor that’s how. According to Autocar.co.uk the performance of the Veyron replacement may be so extreme that it might end up being impossible to fully benchmark test. Bugatti insiders allegedly revealed to the worlds oldest car magazine that the model is slated for a 2016 release date, the new model will use a hybrid powertrain based on an uprated version of the same 8.0-litre W16 engine featured in the current Veyron. Performance figures being quoted claim the 2016 Veyron will generate as much as 1,500bhp and will be able to reach a top speed of 290mph with a blistering 0-62mph time of 2.3 seconds based on computer simulations. The Bugatti Veyron was launched in 2005, originally production was limited to 300 examples but later increased to 450, now oly 15 more remain to be sold. Each unit costs £4m to build but the car is sold for just 1/4 of the price, its actually a bargin. But you will need deep pockets to run it, yearly tax is quoted at 1000 euros.
