New Bugatti is ‘last of its kind’

Bugatti is of course immediately associated with insanely large and strong combustion engines. Machines that do it all by themselves, without any support from electric motors. That is a dying breed, also at Bugatti. Bugatti is shifting its focus to electrification for the next generation of hypercars. Whether that also immediately means the end of Bugatti’s with combustion engines is not yet entirely clear. In any case, according to the brand, we will see a car next Saturday that is ‘the last of its kind’.

In any case, it is not a swing-out version of the Chiron, because it is already there. We also see clearly different details in the two teaser images. Bugatti announced a production version of the Bolide last year, we’re betting that’s it. We assume it will be the last Bugatti without electrical assistance. However, it could also be the last Bugatti with W16, marking an even sadder moment for enthusiasts. Or will it even be the last Bugatti with an internal combustion engine at all? That is somewhat unlikely. Bugatti can of course knock on the door of its fully electric sister brand Rimac for a potent electric powertrain, only saying goodbye to the fuel engine completely seems like a too rigorous turnaround for the French brand. We will know more after Saturday.
