Bugatti Veyron Prototype Spotted Testing at the Nurburgring
Recently, a very interesting Bugatti Veyron prototype was spotted testing at the Nurburgring. Because the Veyron has never been a car intended for ferocious racetrack driving, it is a rare occurrence to see even a current Veyron on the famous German race track.

From the front, this Veyron looks like a regular Veyron Super Sport. However, it is in the engine bay where all the action is happening. A large steel frame has been fitted where the engine lies and interestingly, it is hard to actually see any sign of the incredible 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged W16 engine which has become so recognisable.

So what could this be? Well, it is impossible to say definitively what it is, but when recently quizzed about whether the Veyron’s replacement would utilise a hybrid engine like the LaFerrari, P1 and 918 Spyder, company boss Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber said “Maybe” with a smile. Source [GTspirit]

About time,enough with those special editions already.

 

I'm guessing a hybrid system, with the rumours of 1600hp (hard to believe). maybe that extra horsepower will be coming from the electric motors, . If thats the case, the things is going to be heavy as the veyron was never light to begin with.
