The reign of the Bugatti Chiron and its mighty quad-turbocharged W16 engine is drawing to a close. But fear not, as Bugatti has already set its sights on a new flagship hypercar that is currently in the works. While the precise debut date was previously unconfirmed, we now have official word from Bugatti that it will make its grand entrance in 2024.
This upcoming model not only signals the arrival of a new era for Bugatti, but it also marks the end of an era in design, as Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti’s director of design since 2004, will be retiring. Bugatti made the announcement in a press release, paying tribute to Anscheidt’s remarkable tenure. Under his guidance, the automotive world witnessed the creation of exceptional special-edition Veyrons such as the Super Sport, Grand Sport Vitesse, and Hermès. He also played a pivotal role in envisioning Bugatti concepts that unfortunately never made it to production, most notably the Galibier, a stunning four-door, four-seat concept.
Let’s not forget the remarkable Chiron and the stunning array of bespoke models that have graced the automotive scene, utilizing its formidable platform as a canvas. The Centodieci, Bolide, Divo, Mistral, and the exclusive one-of-a-kind La Voiture Noire all stand as testaments to Bugatti’s legacy.
Although Anscheidt may be stepping down, his influence will live on through the successor of the Chiron. Bugatti confirms that this successor has been in development for the past few years and will finally be unveiled in 2024. Additionally, the announcement reaffirms the industry rumors of electrification, though the upcoming Bugatti won’t be a fully electric vehicle. Instead, it will embrace a hybrid powertrain, leaving us curious as to whether it will include a new iteration of the iconic W16 engine. With Bugatti’s merger with Rimac in 2021, there’s tremendous potential for electric horsepower in the brand’s future. If all goes according to plan, production of the next Bugatti is slated to commence in 2026.
The Bugatti Chiron and Achim Anscheidt’s remarkable contributions to the brand will forever be etched in automotive history. However, as one chapter ends, another begins, promising a future filled with new technological advancements and awe-inspiring designs. The countdown to the next Bugatti hypercar has commenced, and anticipation is running high among enthusiasts worldwide.
