Once more: there will be no superVeyron.
"We will not produce a ‘SuperVeyron' or Veyron Plus, definitely," said the Bugatti president, who who was key in the development of the Veyron back in the early Noughties as Bugatti's Technical Director. "There will be no more power. 1200PS is enough for the chapter of Veyron and its derivatives."

I'll copy this (mostly) directly from one of my posts on a different subject elsewhere, funny how it applies perfectly here.
Consider that upon release Bugatti announced they would build 300 Veyron coupes, and when the Grand Sport debuted they said they would build an additional 150 of those. The way I see it, the Super Sport was built specifically to get the speed record back, but I think the Vitesse was made to try to clear out the remaining Grand Sport production.
Let's face it, the production Veyron debuted for all intents and purposes way back in 2004! The car is essentially unchaged since then and extremely long in the tooth, in particular for this sector of the market. They just aren't selling anymore. Anybody who wanted one already has one. Maybe everyone is waiting to see what Bugatti has up their sleeve next? But consider that Bugatti has still not yet sold all 150 Grand Sports and my feeling is they need to in order to further amortize the production costs. So even if the next car is already developed, there's no chance Bugatti is going to even mention it yet, for fear of jeopardizing the Veyron run-out.
How many more times can they trot out another variant of the same old thing? *yawn* There's only so many buyers in this rarified sector of the market and these people have already committed dollars to upcoming purchases. In the face of the P1/LaFerrari/918, how long can Bugatti afford to wait and possibly lose sales?

What about customers who already own a Bugatti and want a new version? They are obliged to wait for 40 -Veyron- find destination.
Sounds like something from extortion by Bugatti; unless they are aware that they will sell all remaining units. But how long can it take?
