The replacement of the Bugatti Chrion is coming soon, but we’ll have more information about it before the official launch the V16 engine that will replace the quad-turbo W16 that drove both the Chiron And Veyron. Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti-Rimac spoke about the upcoming hypercar and at the Financial Times Future of the Car conference in London the gigantic engine that will drive it.
Rimac didn’t say it to a lot about the V16, but in contrast to it W16 predecessor, it is naturally sucked in. However, it doesn’t happen completely naturally; The powertrain will also feature a “significant electric powertrain element,” according to the statement Autocar. Rimac also said the engine would be a massive 39.3 inches long. That’s over a meter long, for those of you who aren’t good at math. This is also 16 inches longer than that W16 replaces it. LOL. Even LMAO.
This W16 engine will be phased out after production Mistral Roadster And Bolide track special ends. Here are some of the rumors about it large V16 engine, loud Engine1:
Those are all the confirmed details so far, so this is where the speculation begins. German magazine Auto Motor und Sport claims the V-16 has a huge displacement of 8.3 liters and was developed with Cosworth. It rotates at up to 9,000 rpm and works with three electric motors. Together, the output could reach 1,800 hp. The combustion engine alone is said to be good for around 1,000 hp.
Two of the electric motors will drive the front wheels, while the third will drive the rear axle. The latter is said to be installed in a dual-clutch eight-speed automatic transmission. Taking the DCT into account, the engine-transmission assembly is said to be 78.7 inches long. If you believe the reports, the Bugatti engineers have plugged in a 24.8 kWh battery, which is enough for an electric range of 60 kilometers.
AMS has good sources that the Bugatti Chiron replacement will reach 62 mph in about two seconds and 124 mph in under five seconds. 0 to 186 mph takes less than ten seconds and the 0 to 249 mph task could be completed in under 25 seconds. At full throttle, the top speed is electronically limited to 277 miles per hour.
Despite all the mechanical changes, Rimac still says that Crions Its successor will look unmistakably like a Bugatti and the exterior will be “a further development”. Even if that’s what he’s best known for his electric hypercar, the Nevera, According to Rimac, he was the driving force behind this new engine Autocar:
“Management said the next car had to be electric,” he added, acknowledging that a revised and redesigned version of the Rimac Nevera would, in theory, have been a logical electric replacement for the Chiron. However, it was crucial to maintain differentiation between the two hypercar brands while honoring Bugatti’s heritage.
Mate Rimac said: “You could make a Bugatti out of it very easily and convincingly [the Nevera] – just do a different design and call it a day – but I thought that would be absolutely wrong for the brand.
“Fortunately, I won that argument three years ago when electrification was on everyone’s lips, which is no longer the case…” Rimac referred to the perceived decline in demand for electric hypercars – and acknowledged that his company always not yet sold all 150 Neveras.
Rimac told Autocar that anyone Bugatti Kraftwerk should be “as emotional as possible”. If I had to guess, a three-foot naturally aspirated V16 would do that and more.
