Bugatti has officially concluded the production of its legendary Chiron, marking the end of a decade-long journey of unparalleled hypercar excellence. The final Chiron, the 500th unit, rolled off the production line in late May, bringing a close to an era characterized by engineering marvels, luxury craftsmanship, and iconic design. However, the horizon holds new excitement for automotive enthusiasts as Bugatti prepares to unveil its next groundbreaking hypercar on June 20th.
The forthcoming Bugatti hypercar promises to push the boundaries of performance and innovation even further. Featuring a revolutionary V16 hybrid powertrain, this new model is inspired by some of Bugatti’s most celebrated historical vehicles, including the Type 57 SC Atlantic, the Type 41 Royale, and the Type 35. These legendary cars have left an indelible mark on automotive history, and their influence will be clearly seen in Bugatti’s latest creation.
Not just for the present. ⁰Or even for the future.

In terms of performance, the new Bugatti is expected to set new benchmarks. Rumors suggest that the car’s hybrid powertrain, with an 8.3-liter displacement, will produce around 1,000 horsepower from its combustion engine alone, with electric motors boosting the total output to a staggering 1,800 horsepower. This powertrain is designed to deliver mind-blowing acceleration, potentially reaching 62 miles per hour in just two seconds, 124 mph in less than five seconds, and 186 mph in under ten seconds. The anticipated top speed is an electronically governed 277 mph, ensuring the new Bugatti remains at the forefront of hypercar performance.
The design of the new hypercar will be a tribute to Bugatti’s heritage, integrating elements from its historic models while showcasing an evolutionary exterior. Spy shots and teasers have hinted at a sleek and aggressive look, with a lower and more aerodynamic profile compared to its predecessors. This design philosophy underscores Bugatti’s commitment to blending beauty with cutting-edge performance.
Bugatti’s new hypercar will be officially revealed in a grand event on June 20th, broadcast across the company’s social media channels. This event, dubbed “La Grand Première,” is set to usher in a new era of automotive excellence for Bugatti, once again raising the bar in the hypercar segment.
Production of the new model will be highly exclusive, with Bugatti planning to manufacture only 250 units, a significant reduction compared to the 450 Veyrons and 500 Chirons produced. Deliveries are expected to commence in 2026, adding to the anticipation and exclusivity of this remarkable vehicle.
As Bugatti closes one chapter with the end of the Chiron, it opens another with the introduction of its new hypercar, poised to redefine automotive performance and luxury.
