Bugatti Royale: the full scoop lowdown
CAR has uncovered more details on the new Bugatti super saloon, currently dubbed the Royale (although Atlantic is another possibility). It’s one of two Bugattis pencilled into the product development cycle between now and 2018 – and the supersaloon is set to replace the Veyron, which is nearing the end of its 300-strong limited production run.
The new Bugatti saloon is depicted in our artist’s impression, which is based closely on the teaser image that leaked out on a VIP invite to prospective owners. They are being shown the car at an exclusive event around the Frankfurt motor show 2009, although it is unlikely to go on sale until 2011 or beyond.
New Bugatti Royale: the lowdown
Bugatti’s new saloon will sport the Veyron’s W16, but mounted up front instead of amidships as in the 253mph sports coupé and roadster. Direct injection could figure this time, however, and the limo is tipped to be rear-wheel drive, making it the first modern Bug to eschew 4wd.
