On a related note, de Silva also said there won't be a production version of the Galibier concept since it would "confuse" clients, but didn't want to elaborate on this topic. Some serious weight saving measures are certainly prepared in order to offset the added hybrid technology, especially taking into consideration the Veyron weighs a hefty 1,888 kg (4,162 lbs). The resulted hybrid system is believed to generate a whopping 1,500 PS (1,103 kW) which should allow the French supercar hit a maximum speed of more than 270 mph (435 km/h). Crashes feel visceral, as the game uses an incredibly accurate damage model. Every component of a vehicle is simulated in real-time using nodes (mass points) and beams (springs).

In an interview given to Top Gear, he refused to provide any additional details but did say it will be a "piece of art" and the company has put "a lot of effort in the technology" to create a product that will "redefine the benchmarks."Īccording to the latest rumors, Bugatti's new model will be limited to 450 units and will stick with the Veyron's W16 8.0-liter quad turbo engine but teamed up with an electric motor. The BeamNG physics engine is at the core of the most detailed and authentic vehicle simulation you’ve ever seen in a game. Given Wallace's description of what achieving the record entailed, including finding a surface change at the test track that earned the nickname "the jump," we suspect relatively few owners are likely to take Bugatti up on this offer.The Bugatti Veyron was launched back in 2005 so naturally a new model is in the works and promises to be "more than" just a replacement, according to VW Group's design chief Walter de Silva. Although not confirmed yet, we also presume the 300+ will have a working air brake, something that the record-setting car didn't use.īut for buyers determined to get close to Wallace's speed, Bugatti is also hinting it may offer the option of both a truly unlimited car and time on the track at Ehra-Lessien so that owners can experience what life at five miles a minute feels like. It seems likely that the determining factor will be the maximum speed that the car's Michelin tires can digest for anything other than very short periods. It will also have a standard ride height-the 300-mph car sat lower-and Bugatti admits it will have a speed limiter, although the company hasn't said what that will be set to yet. The road-legal Super Sport won't have the full roll cage that was fitted to the car Andy Wallace drove at Volkswagen Group's vast Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany, and it will also come with the passenger seat that was taken out in the speed-run Chiron to accommodate computer and timing equipment. There are other differences between the 300+ and the actual record-setting car, which was shown on the Bugatti tour complete with grime and bug splatter from the track.
