Bugatti has been teasing a mysterious new model, ahead of its debut on October 28th.
While the company is staying tight-lipped, the car was recently spotted undergoing testing at the Paul Ricard Circuit in France.
As you can see, the model is a high-performance sports car that has been designed for the track. It features a compact horseshoe grille, large air intakes and a ventilated hood.

Moving further back, there’s ventilated fenders and aerodynamic bodywork. The car has also been outfitted with a roof-mounted scoop, a race car-like canopy and a central fin. We can also see large side scoops and massive Michelin tires.
Out back, there’s a center-mounted four-tailpipe exhaust system that resides beneath a large wing. The car also has a massive diffuser, X-shaped taillights and an F1-inspired lower brake light.
While the video quality isn’t the greatest, it does confirm the model isn’t fully electric. That means it likely have a version of the company’s quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine. There’s no word on specifications for this particular model, but the engine develops 1,479 hp (1,103 kW / 1,500 PS) in the Chiron.
Little else is known about the car at this point, but it’s presumably a one-off or an extremely rare limited edition. It could also be track-only, but we’ll find out soon enough.
Thanks to everyone for the tips!
