The V16-engined hybrid Bugatti will be revealed on 20 June

In a surprising move, a company that specialises in building high-performance cars has revealed it will release a new high-performance car on 20 June 2024.

Jokes. It’s the new Bugatti. Admittedly, ‘revealing that a car will be revealed’ isn’t groundbreaking, but we’re certain that whatever form the Chiron’s successor takes will indeed be lightly earth-shattering.

Not least because it’ll come bearing Bugatti’s latest combustion engine: a V16 behemoth that sounds quite lovely indeed. This being 2024, the powertrain will be electrified, of course, which Bugatti says represents “a coming together of timeless mechanical craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology”.

Speaking of timeless, today we learn the design of the new Bugatti will be inspired in part by the Type 57 SC Atlantic, the Type 41 Royale and the Type 35 (pictured above).

“On the 20^th June, a new era in the 115-year history of Bugatti begins,” said, well, Bugatti obviously. “Guided by the vision of Ettore Bugatti, it will be an icon not just for the present, or even for the future, but ‘Pour l’eternite’ (for eternity).”
