Chiron is to be Veyron successor. Here it is testing with the skin of a Veyron
A couple of facts for those who don't know: - still the same 8l W16 engine, 1500 hp - turbochargers now with electric help (Audi RS5 TDi-like) - Torque gets electronically limited to 1498 NM - 2 seconds for 0-100 km/h - a top speed of 463 km/h in Bugatti's simulator - Hybrid engine (ICE will work with an electric motor) full article (in german)

I would love to see a test between that and the new Koenigsegg Regera (twin turbo 5L + 3 electric motors) 1800BHP 150km/h - 250km/h in 3.2 secs.

I imagine it would be much the same as commy vs falcon...
Commy has a fractionally better chassis but the Ford (Bugatti) has the driveline.
