Bugatti Rules Out Sedan And SUV In Favor Of An Even Faster Veyron Successor

Bugatti's CEO has shed some light about the company's plans now that production of the Veyron has ended.Speaking to Car & Driver at last week's Quail event, Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer announced the Veyron replacement will have a higher top speed which means the new model - tentatively known as Chiron - will be able to surpass the 258 mph (415 km/h) achieved by the limited-run Super Sport World Record Edition which was actually electronically limited as the unrestricted version managed to hit 267 mph (431 km/h).

Hell yeah! The current Veyron is such as slouch, I was wondering when Bugatti was going to deliver a *real* speed demon.

Just jivin', folks. I view Bugatti as a sort of arms-race dealer. During the Cold War, the U.S. had enough nukes to obliterate all life on this planet 9 times over, but that didn't stop them from getting even better and making yet more of them! So with Bugatti, it's like 500% insane with the current Veyron, or 550% insane with its successor. Plain insane ain't good enough anymore ;-)

A Bugatti 4-door would be extremely polarizing for the industry as a whole. However, it doesn't seem like today's Bugatti brand would know much about building sedans or coaches.

And the brand would have to contend with the constant media scrutiny around a Bugatti 4-door platform & who it really belongs to or who really developed it or whatever. VW has enough on its plate & a Bugatti uber-sedan would be a gawdy overkill move - as there's currently the A8/S8, Panamera, Continental, & Mulsanne for sale. At the very least, the brand could be open to making a sedan by "order-only" - it would be hand-built & unique to every capable owner.
