Bugatti "Chiron" Prototype Caught on Camera

Bugatti's next model, the Chiron (name not confirmed), has been caught on camera being tested on the roads of Italy.

The new ‘Chiron’ is using the same 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo engine as its predecessor, but the total output is being raised to approximately 1,500 HP. Chances are, electric motors will contribute and allow it to reach a top speed of around 290 mph.

The hypercar will become the official successor to the iconic Veyron and it will draw inspiration from the Vision GT Concept, as confirmed by Bugatti.
As you can seen in the spy video, the head lights, front grille, front bumper, as well as the side and rear design, connect with the Vision GT design.

Still looks boring and outdated, compared to the hypercars available now. Bugatti are playing things too safe. They need to something like the GT version or a new design completely, like Porsche did with the 918 and Ferrari with the LaFerrari.
