| [06 May 10] :: Next Bugatti has 1200 HP |
According to Piech, who claims he has driven the "new Veyron" already, the next version has 1200 HP.
If this is true, this tells us 2 things:
-there will be a new series of Bugatti Veyron (1200 HP)
this would explain why the Bugatti Galibier would be built in a seperate, to be built atelier.
-there is already a prototype.
This would explain the photos that were shown on the forum, of a Veyron with lots of added sensors.
See: The Bugatti Forum
and for possible pictures of the prototype:

| [06 May 10] :: Williamson Bugatti Atlantic sold for 30+ Million USD to Peter Mullin |
 The Bugatti Atlantic of the late Peter Williamson is confirmed to have been sold in a private transactio to Peter Mullin, owner of the Mullin Museum in California.
An exact figure has not been given, but it is stated that this is between 30 and 40 million dollar. This makes this stunning car the most expensive car in the world.
The Williamson Atlantic is one of 3 surviving Atlantics. Experts are not sure on the amount of Bugatti Atlantics built, figures range from 4 to 6. This, however, is food for continuous debate. Without doubt the Williamson Atlantic is the most original car, as it has not seen any major mishaps in its history.

| [20 Apr 10] :: Four unique Bugatti Prototype Show cars on display at the Mullin Automotive Museum |
 OXNARD, Calif. (April 15, 2010) – Bugatti Automobiles is honored to announce the four prototype show cars that continued the brand on its path to create the most iconic super car in the world will be on display at the new Mullin Automotive Museum. Bugatti felt the Mullin Automotive Museum was the ideal place to display these rare cars because it is a benchmark museum that celebrates French culture and more importantly, the rich history of French automobiles. In the heart of Southern California, the museum is at the center of the most important market for Bugatti.
There are many prestigious marques featured in the Mullin Automotive Museum. However, Bugatti is the only brand still producing cars today, so it was a logical choice for Bugatti to loan the four historic prototypes for display in his museum. Bugatti also shares some of its rare vehicles with the Schlumpf Museum in France, just miles from the Bugatti headquarters in Molsheim so it is beneficial to have a counterpart ambassador for the Bugatti brand in the U.S. |
