The Bugatti Veyron is set to be eclipsed by its eagerly anticipated successor.
The
French car manufacturer has confirmed its new car will be called the
Bugatti Chiron in honour of legendary race car driver Louis Chiron. While
technical details are sparse, Bugatti claims it will be the 'world's
most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production
super sports car.'
This suggests the Chiron will make more power than the 1,500-horsepower Koenigsegg Regera.

The
2016 Regera is set to be able to accelerate to its top speed of 248 mph
in less than 20 seconds - faster that any other production car in
history.
It claims to be able to do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds
However, currently, the Veyron is the world's fastest street-legal production car, reaching 0-60mph in only 2.5 seconds.
Selling
for around $1.5 million (£1.4 million), Bugatti only made 450 of the
exclusive model which was named by Top Gear as 'car of the decade'.
Rumours
suggest the Chiron will be capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just
2.3 seconds, with a top speed of 288mph - more than 20mph quicker than
the Veyron.
