That's odd, I thought it used a W16 for packaging reasons, guess they're doing something else to work around that/not make the car two feet longer/etc

It'll just be four Passat engines stuck together rather than two.

I thought the Chiron was the last internal combustion Bugatti with the next one being Rimac EV based.
Guess they came to their senses.

Thank god for that, there is so much development left in the IC engine that it would be mad to just end it all.

WIth the electrical support I suspect it will be < 8 litres.

The exhaust manifolds do make it look like 2 v8’s superglued together :lol: sounds better than the W

It does sound good, but I love that the W16 has such a unique bass-laden soundtrack. 8-) Not that I have ever heard one IRL :?
