A Hybrid Bugatti Starting in 2024?

Bugatti is known for manufacturing very fast internal combustion cars with a design that mirrors its image. Next year, the powertrain will change and become hybrid.

The French company will move away from purely thermal engines to hybrid, a revolution for the brand which aims to compete with other manufacturers on a new level, where they are currently absent. Bugatti will set aside its W16 engine for a hybrid V8. According to Autocar, the former designer of the company since 2004, Achim Anscheidt, spoke about the creation of the upcoming hybrid vehicle, which is expected to be unveiled in 2024.

In an interview with our colleagues at Autocar, Achim Anscheidt announced that the car “is finished.” “We delivered the prototype tooling a few months ago. The production tooling will be delivered in a few months,” he added.

Production set for 2026, with some design changes

The future Bugatti will embody the very essence of the brand; nothing significant will change in appearance. Only, the engine group will switch from combustion to hybrid, involving some minor changes. The vehicle’s design will not just see a change in lines from top to bottom but will also align more closely with the brand’s identity.

The price has not yet been announced, but we do have a rough idea of what it might be. The price range for a Bugatti is around £2 to £4 million, roughly €4.6 million for the top tier.
