Spied: Is this the Bugatti Chiron?

Bugatti ended the production of the Veyron with the La Finale. Before the Veyron's production ended, Bugatti started work on a successor, which has been spied on multiple occasions. However, up until now, it was always spotted wearing a Veyron’s body. Several speculative renders later, it appears the ‘Chiron’ has finally been spotted in the wild, giving us the first glimpse at what the production car could look like.

A video shared by Auto Bild, shows not one, but two heavily camouflaged Chirons on a road test, along with a Veyron Super Sport, BMW i8 and a Lamborghini Huracan. The test mules feature large rear wings, smaller rear overhangs than the Veyron and rectangular tail lights. Since the cars are heavily camouflaged and are still in the early stages of testing, design alterations cannot be ruled out.

Much like how the Huracan was thought to be the ‘Cabrera’, the Chiron will most likely have a different name once produced. The speculated name has reportedly been inspired by Louis Chiron, a Bugatti race who already had his name applied to the 18/3 Chiron – a concept car made in 1999, that gave us the first glimpse at what the Veyron would look like.

Reports suggest that the Chiron could be powered by a redesigned version of the W16 engine that was used in the Veyron, with output figures being quoted at around 1500 Horsepower and around 1,500 Nm of torque. Further details will be revealed in the run up to the debut, which is expected in 2016.
