The new hypercar is said to cost €2.2 million euros (~$2.5 million USD) for the base trim, according to CAR. The number is nearly $1 million more than the original Veyron’s price tag, and slightly higher than the Super Sport variant.
The extra cash helps pay for an evolution of the Veyron’s W16 engine, expected to be combine several traditional turbochargers and a few electrically-driven compressors. Output will likely reach or surpass 1,500 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, potentially launching the Chiron to 60 mph in two seconds flat and reaching a top speed of 288 mph.
The exterior will be extensively redesigned, though rumors and spy shots suggest it will maintain many iconic design elements from the Veyron.
Bugatti will allegedly release full details at the Chiron’s formal unveiling early next year in Geneva. In the meantime, the company is said to have already received deposits for several units in the 500-vehicle production run.
