On the heels of the
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport being
stripped of its World's Fastest Car title by
Guinness World Records comes this tease from the French automaker, hinting that it will soon "share the latest example of exceptional Bugatti performance" over the next few days its
Facebook page.
The timing of the announcement is interesting. Even though the current Super Sport boasts a quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 developing 1,200 horsepower that pushes the two-seater to an unrestricted top speed of 267 mph, today's competitors are knocking at kicking down Bugatti's door. The much lighter and more agile
Hennessey Venom GT (twin-turbo 7.0-liter V8 rated at 1,244 horsepower)
recently ran to nearly 266 mph - and it still hasn't fully stretched its legs. And then there is the
Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Aero (twin-turbo 6.9-liter V8 rated at 1,300 horsepower) that will hit 256 mph.
So, we have to ask, what exactly will Bugatti reveal this week? Is this another variant of the Super Sport, sans its electronic limiter for a boosted top end? Is this the rumored 1,600 horsepower
Super Veyron, which we first heard about many months ago? Or, will Bugatti finally be revealing a production version of its
16C Galibier sedan? Let us know what you think in our comments section, below.
