Bugatti will preview a future model with a concept car
in September - but it will be just one of three proposals for the
next model, company boss Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen has told Autocar.
The first concept is widely tipped to be a four-door saloon, which will
be shown to potential customers to gauge reaction as to whether
Bugatti should be building such a car.
However, Dr Paefgen was keen to quash rumours that a production Bugatti
saloon would have any relationship with the new Bentley Mulsanne
saloon, launched this weekend at Pebble Beach and a car he has
brought to production in his other role as head of Bentley.
"A Bugatti saloon will have different dimensions and be a completely
different concept. In fact its hard to find any similarites at all
[with the new Bentley]," he told Autocar.
"A Bugatti is designed and developed for a total volume of not more
than 150, so that allows completely different materials and
technology." |
