Bugatti's next hypercar to debut V16 engine

The carmaker will be killing off its iconic 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine

Bugatti has announced that its next hypercar will feature an all-new V16 engine. The carmaker will be killing off its iconic 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine and replacing it with the new V16 power unit.

The new powertrain will come in the form of a V16 hybrid unit and is scheduled to be unveiled in June 2024. Ahead of its unveiling, the carmaker has released a video showcasing glimpses of the new powertrain while allowing us to hear the engine shift through the gears.

Bugatti stated, "In June, the modern-day lineage of Bugatti – first established with the Veyron 16.4 – will welcome its latest evolution; a new automotive pinnacle with a V16 hybrid powertrain at its heart. Incomparable in every detail, it is a pure embodiment of Bugatti’s DNA, created not just for the present, or even the future – but “Pour l’éternité”."
