As seen in the teaser posted by IAB in November, the Chiron gets the characteristic “horse shoe” design line on the side profile that forms the basis for its exterior design. Previewed in part by the Bugatti Vision GT, the Chiron will feature an evolutionary exterior styling that is more angular and aggressive than the Bugatti Veyron.

Power is sourced from a revised 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo engine, which will deliver 1500 hp and 1500 Nm of torque through a 7-speed double clutch gearbox to the AWD system. According to a report, the Veyron's successor is capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in 2.3 seconds, 0-300 km/h in 15 seconds, before hitting a rumored top speed of 500 km/h.
