Chiron [Rumors] Bugatti Chiron Successor

[Tourbillon]

Maybe....

I'll do it. If I get something. I'm not French (or the others!) anyway.

But I might piss Cosworth off. After Aston Martin last year- I no longer care LOL!

And it'll be very interesting to see if Ricardo are doing the transmission once again.

Regarding the Cozzie-powered A-M Valkyrie, I think Graziano supplies their transmission. I can't recall who supplies the GMA's, but I am fairly confident it's UK-based company that's not Ricardo.

Hmmmm.....

Hmmmm.....

All the W16'S from the pre production prototype Bugatti Veyrons to the final Bugatti Bolides and Bugatti Mistrals are all Ricardo DCT.

I can't speak for the others.

The gearbox on the Valkyrie and all of its variants is supplied by Ricardo.
All GMA cars use gearboxes by Xtrac (which don't do DCTs).

Why they've used the Bugatti Vision GT as the thumbnail is beyond me?

I can't wait for June!

I'm looking forward to discussing about this incredible machine with you guys!

I'm lost.
Is this a totally new model coming? type of Veyron to Chiron, or a change from W16 to V16 without anything else?

Yes, all new model even more that Veyron to Chiron!

Bro, on what drugs are you to ask that. It must be the good shit! How would they go from W16 to V16, and from pure ICE to hybrid, without it being a completely new car? Also, haven't you read a single page of discussion on this thread? Think before you type, man, think!

Lol, well, but don't be mad at me, no, I haven't read much, just skimming since they are cars with a life cycle of 10 or more years, with thousands of special versions so I didn't pay much attention to it, amazed that a decade has passed so quickly? and:

Ok, but please let's talk after I inject my amphetamines.

I'm Sorry I don't need them. Now I understand. Smh.

Wouldn't it be awesome if this was a hypercar with a front engine. A v16 is a very long engine, it makes more sense putting in in the front.

I'll tell you this much, with the W16'S all the variants were mid engined.

If I were an engineer and had to replace the Bugatti Chiron one of the CHEIF things if possible would be to make the powertrain or underpinnings have the possible option of front engined capabilities and capacities.

It's a long engine as you've said so perhaps a saloon variant might be possible. We'll see.

I’m still wondering about the Type 35 revival using part of the V16 and using only 8 cylinders in a straight variation.

Imagine a straight 8 open wheeled Type 35 with modern tech, sort of a Monza or Elva version of a Bugatti.

Exactly. It's a Cosworth unit right? They're all over modular!

I think the characteristic that you will see with the Chiron successor is that it really seems like it comes from one single person. Like from one hand. Where everything really works together. The powertrain, the design, the exterior, the interior, the aerodynamics... it so well works together, fits together. That it really looks like one package that just works on all levels in a different way than other cars before.

...[with the Nevera] I see lots of things that I could have done better. And now when I look at the Chiron successor... and you know, we had the first silent launch with our first customers in Dubai. And I was there for three, four days, looking at the car all the time. And I'm walking around it all the time thinking: What did we miss? What could we have done better? And I'm really self-critical. And when I look at that one, I'm like: I don't see anything. I don't see anything that we could have done better. It's so amazing that we didn't make any compromise. Because when you start a new project, you usually have super high ambition when it comes to performance and technology and so on. And usually stuff falls off the table, because you run out of time, money, talent, whatever....

All the crazy things that you'll see... also the interior and so on. That's really unseen and unheard of in the industry. Nothing fell off the table. So when I look at it, I'm really proud. Like, wow, we actually managed to pull this off. And that's really crazy achievement. That so many things that are so special in this car, like the engine, like the interior, the suspension, that kind of stuff... that we managed to pull it off.
