According to media reports, electric hypercar brand Rimac is said to be developing an all-new combustion engine, which will power Bugatti's next hypercar.

Mate Rimac, the founder of the EV hypercar brand, confirmed that the company is developing a new hybrid-combustion powertrain, which will be "bonkers" and that "everybody will be blown away" with the engine's capabilities.

Reports suggest that Rimac was working on a new combustion engine two years before their merger with Bugatti. The French hypercar brand initially had planned to develop an electric CUV similar to the Ferrari Purosangue. However, after the merger, Mate Rimac stopped the project, opting to go for a hybrid hypercar instead.



The new Bugatti hypercar will be the successor to the brand's Chiron. Mate Rimac explained that the Chiron successor will be a "hypercar rearranged as a hybrid". The new model will be completely fresh & built from scratch, without carrying forward even a single part from either the Chiron or the Nevera.

Rimac also hinted that the Bugatti Chiron's successor could have its global debut sometime as early as next year.
