It is a well known fact that Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is producing 1200 horsepower (882 kW). The French company is obviously not satisfied with this number, because it plans to build a model that will be a hybrid, and note – it will deliver around 1500 hp (1103 kW)! This amount of power will come through a 16-cylinder engine. Veyron’s two-door successor will be developed in 2015 and Bugatti disclosed that it plans to build around 450 examples from it. Most likely there will be 300 coupes and 150 roadsters.It is no surprise that the next Bugatti will be a hybrid. In fact, many other supersports car manufacturers like Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche have already gone through this step. So the “hybrid direction” seems like a logical next step for the brand. The 1500 hp won’t be the only advantage of the car. Lightweight construction is expected to be a key and logical feature as well.Other detail about the upcoming super car is that it will beat the 431 kilometres (268 miles) top speed of Veyron Super Sport. If you remember well, in February Veyron lost the title of the world’s fastest production car to the Hennessey Venom GT.Bugatti will end an era because it has scheduled to finish Veyron’s production within the next year. There are only around 20 build slots left for the 450-car run of the iconic vehicle, which are planned for the sixth and final Legend special edition.

Les Legendes de Bugatti: Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess [VIDEO]

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess was officially unveiled two months ago and then exhibited for the first time in front of public at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show starting on 20th of April. This is fifth model of Bugatti’s “Legends” series, which (just like its siblings) is based on the powerful Grand Sport Vitesse and comes along unique styling upgrades. Now, Bugatti is launching a promo video which shows-off the great characteristics of the roadster. And I must confirm that after watching it I was really impressed.The Veyron Black Bess pays tribute to the Type 18 “Black Bess” – one of the first street-legal super sports cars. It was built in 1913 and was powered by a spectacular engine for that period of time. Precisely, the 5.0 liter four-cylinder powertrain was capable of developing 100 horsepower (73 kW) and achieved a maximum speed of 161 km/h (100 mph).
The new Black Bess edition will be limited to only three examples. It has the price tag of $3 million US dollars like the other legends. Despite this, Bugatti has sold every single one of the previous four versions in the range.
Veyron Black Bess edition is powered by a 6.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 engine, which produces nearly 1200 horsepower. What is specifically astounding about this special edition is the radiant black paint, the accents from pure gold, an of course the special interior treatment. Just watch the video below!

The Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille” is the final in the exclusive six-part edition “Les Légendes de Bugatti”. The series was launched in August at California’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

As a basis for the Legend cars is used Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, which is famous for its 1200 hp. The car is powered by an eight litre, 16 valve engine and is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds and from 0 – 200 km/h in only 7.1 seconds.
