据外媒最新报道，布加迪威航后继车型将被命名为“Chiron”。在1999年的法兰克福车展上，布加迪发布了由乔治亚罗设计的18/3 Chiron，而在明年发布的威航后继车型将重新采用这一名称以纪念布加迪赛车手Louis Alexandre Chiron (1899 - 1979)。新车仍将继续采用威航的8.0升W16四涡轮增压引擎，不过将搭配一台电机以实现混合动力，最大功率约为1103千瓦/1500马力，最高时速预计将达到435公里。新车将与威航一样仅限量生产450辆，按照大众设计总监席尔瓦的说法，每一辆车都是艺术品，同时将在技术上继续发力，从而创造一辆足以树立超跑新标杆的车型。

 

Bugatti Veyron successor could be called Chiron

A new report indicates Bugatti's Veyron successor will receive the "Chiron" nameplate.

 

It was 1999 at the Frankfurt Motor Show when Bugatti introduced the 18/3 Chiron designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro from Italdesign and apparently the name will be making a comeback next year when the Veyron successor will be launched. The moniker is most likely a reference to Bugatti racing driver Louis Alexandre Chiron (1899 - 1979).

 

Confirmed details about the new Bugatti are not available at this point but it is believed the model will stick with the Veyron's massive W16 8.0-liter engine with four turbochargers. However, in the "Chiron" it’s expected to work together with an electric motor to create a hybrid system capable of developing around 1,500 PS (1,103 kW) which should be enough for a rumored 270 mph (435 km/h) top speed.

 

Just like the Veyron, only 450 units will be built of the "piece of art" as described by VW Group's design chief Walter de Silva who also says they have put "a lot of effort in the technology" to develop a supercar that will "redefine the benchmarks."
