Bugatti is a symbol of technology, power and engineering
genius and it’s about to get even better. I find it hard to comprehend the
specifications and abilities of supercars but the new Bugatti is going to be truly mind blowing. Who
can forget when James May brought a Veyron to the Ehra-Lessien track
and reached its top speed of 253mph. It made his eyes water and mine too (a little). In fact, I just watched the video of it again and I got goose bumps. It was a moment where technology and engineering were pushed to their limits.

The new Bugatti is called Ettore Bugatti to commemorate the
founder of the firm. The initial cars he produced were famous for their eloquent
design, clever engineering and light weight frames. Little did he know that a car that’s
capable of over 400km/h will be named after him. The design of the new Veyron will also
pay tribute to one of the most famous Bugatti's ever made, the 1932 Type 41
Royale.
It will feature an updated version of the current 16
cylinder engine with hybrid technology and Bugatti are once again pushing the limits to produce a 1500bhp engine that's capable of a top speed of 408kmh. As this model will be one of the last
Veyrons to be made, it comes with a price of €2.35 million. It will be
revealed at the Quail Motorsports Gathering on August 17th at Pebble
Beach Concours d’Elegance. Will someone take me there? Please!
