    Hey guys,
    On other forum some people are stating that Chiron’s replacement would be a brand new car with a totally bespoke V16 engine build by Cosworth.
    The hybridization of this engine would be provided by Rimac of course.
    Any news from Bugatti owners here ?

    V16 configuration would be entirely too long for a rear midengined sports car.
    IMO they'll stick with the W configuration and maybe N/A with super advanced batteries providing the assistance

    Cosworth would build W16 engine? they currently create amazing NA V12 motors for valkyrie and T50

    They could package the transmission transversely like the T50 and Mcl F1. Look at how short those cars are even with a V12.

    Indeed
    A V8TT would be totally insufficient for a Bugatti..
    Can’t believe what Autocar stated.

    this, Rimac will be aiming for well over 2,000hp for this car
