Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac has revealed that the V-16 in the company's upcoming hybrid hypercar will be naturally aspirated and measure a meter-long.
The company’s CEO, Mate Rimac, went into detail about the V-16 that will power it next hypercar at the). The new mill, which we already knew would be electrified, will also forgo turbochargers and measures nearly 40 inches in length.
Additionally, Rimac said that the new mill measures 39.4 inches, or one meter, in length. That makes the new engine, which has its cylinders arranged in two blocks of eight as opposed to three blocks of six, 15.7 inches longer that its predecessors. That’s all Rimac was ready to reveal, but it’s hard not to be intrigued by some of the other rumblings going on. There’s a belief that the V-16 was developed by Cosworth, will have an 8.3-liter displacement and rev up to 9,000 rpm,. Additionally, it sounds like the new mill will produce around 1,000 hp by itself and that, when combined with the hybrid system’s three electric motors, total output could exceed 1,800 horses. There’s also thought it could have up to 37 miles of electric-only range.
Fortunately, we won’t have to wait much longer. Bugatti’s next model, its third since being rebooted by VW Group in the late 1990s, is set to be officially unveiled next month.Bryan Hood is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
