Mate Rimac talks about Bugatti’s next hypercar ahead of its debut

Bugatti has released a new docuseries ahead of the unveiling of its next hypercar. It reveals new details of the Chiron successor, which is set to debut on June 20.

The first episode features Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, where he talks about the development of the next-gen hypercar from concept to reality. Throughout the video, we also get glimpses of the new car.

The Chiron successor, codenamed BR1, will feature a slightly larger horseshoe grille compared to its predecessor. It carries forward the quad LED headlamp setup, albeit in a new style. At the end of the video, we get a quick glimpse of the front subframe, suspension and the carbon monocoque.

Rimac also explains the reason why a hybrid was chosen instead of a pure-electric powertrain. As you may be aware, Bugatti has dropped the quad-turbo W16 for a naturally aspirated V16 hybrid. It includes three electric motors and is expected to have a combined output of around 1800 hp.
