2016 Bugatti Chiron Rendered Based on the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, Looks Like a Bulldog

With the Bugatti Veyron out of production and retired into the car world's history books, a new hypercar is expected to fill the blank space. Touted as the Chiron, it was already spotted wearing full camouflage clothing, but luckily, designers are also at their stations.

And with the recent online release of the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, Veyron's makers only added fuel to the creative flame, allowing pixel manipulators to respond with their vision of how the Chiron will look like.

Long story short, RM.Design came up with a rendering hinting at Chiron's appearance. As you can see in the picture above, a lot of styling elements have been borrowed from the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo.

We can also spot a lot of cues from the Bugatti Veyron, especially at the back, which to be honest, when combined with the Vision GT concept's bulky front end, makes the artist's impression look like a bulldog.

Of course, that's our subjective opinion, so feel free to examine the photo carefully and tell us what you think of it.

Now, for the real-deal Chiron

The rumour mill started spinning some weeks ago and as a result, some voices claim the 2016 Chiron will be blessed with around 1,500 horsepower coming from a W16 engine, which could be imbued with hybrid technology, but Bugatti didn't make any official announcement on this matter.

The new hypercar is expected to grab by the neck the likes of McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari while also trying to give the Koenigsegg Regera a hard time.

Moreover, it is believed the Chiron will only be built in 500 units, each one wearing a price tag of €2.2 million - that's somewhere over $2.5 million, at current exchange rates. A future Chiron Roadster might be on the table, and we also expect Bugatti to play their special editions game with the Chiron as well in the coming years.
