Chiron [Rumors] Bugatti Chiron Successor

[klier]

I would sum it up by saying that:
-The nivera is not sexy and its performance is comparable to a Model A plaid.

-A Chiron is sexy but its performance is not comparable to an 911 Carrera S.

A Chiron is as comparable to a Carrera S as a Rimac is to a Plaid.
Are you seriously comparing a Tesla with a Rimac?

Just recieved this photo from my insider friend from Rimac. This prototype matches those previous photos of finished car that i saw earlier. Taillight are vey simmilar to la voiture noire, as i said in previous posts.

I think this is first spy photo of chiron succesor. Exclusive for germancarforum. Cheers!

RIP to our insider BTW. The Rimac Ninjas have found him.

I'm surprised they haven't started rolling out some teasers. The only official one so far was the engine back in February. Maybe they will start on May 20th(exactly one month before the reveal) or on June 1st.

I hope he didn't get into too much trouble. Feeding bits of info is relatively safe, but that photo was always gonna burn our man.

Guys, i am alive! That was a very risky move. I even have few more photos, some are of uncamouflaged car, but prefer not to post it anywhere...someone might get in big trouble

 

[Revvd]

Welcome back. As much as I'd love to see more, it'd be wise to keep a low profile this time

 

[1noName]

Definitely!
Unveiling date is just few weeks from now, so it makes no sense to take unnecessary risks

No pics, what would you say your personal opinion of the car is from a scale of 1-10 ? 1 being meh and 10 being a drop dead gorgeous piece of automotive engineering?

 

[jackster99]

Instead of posting, is there anyway you can describe what it looks like uncamouflaged?

 

[1noName]

I already described it few months ago. It is a mix of current bugatti models. You already saw side profile and rear. In few words, front is like chiron facelift.

Personally, i am underwhelmed. It looks good, but too fammiliar. I expected some new ideas, but they simply recycled current design language. It is a completely new V16 flagship supercar, it deserves to be completely unique and to push boundaries of automotive design, but it just does not.

Send them to us, I don't give two Sexy FK'S about no "trouble."

Last Year I told Aston Martin to shove it when the DB12 leaked LOL! Autocar (I believe) released them as did I think 2 major outlets, about 10 hours prior to reveal.

It was some bloody agency guy anyway it later transpired.

It's not really the person publishing that gets the trouble, it's when it's obvious who took them and first shared them.

I got a cease and desist and I didn't take them? It was interesting.

But anyway maybe it's best not to talk about them otherwise it's only natural that people will ask.

Last Year the B95 leaked atleast 2- 4 separate times prior to Pebble Beach in Car Week. Someone caught it and never said a single word in Public and even alerted Pininfarina about it. Trust me I know.

It's not far off irregardless so perhaps much ado about nothing.

Yeah, so you either tell them to suck it, or don't publish them. Easy. On the other hand, once they know leaked material exists the leaker is unlikely to be able to take any similar action to diffuse the situation - they're already past the point of no return.

 

[Tourbillon]

Yes. I agree.

 

[Tourbillon]

Made you giggle. Good. I'm in the Pub. I can't be arsed typing.

You can post them after official reveal legally, but even that may get your friend and yourself in trouble.

Rimac himself said it's an evolutionary design rather than brand new.
My question is if the front headlights are new or just recycled from other Bugatti models? We know the rear has similar design to LVN.

 

[1noName]

headlights have very simmilar design to chiron. Similar shape and squarish 4 segment LEDs.

Actually this is the main reason why the car looks like chiron facelift

just based on the camouflaged prototype:

Chiron > C successor > Veyron

limited models not accounted for, Veyron loses out because of Piech's commitment to the prototype design which restricted designers/engineers
