Bugatti Veyron 16.4 became the fastest production car in the world in 2005, and now the French automaker has confirmed that the Veyron Super Sport successor will be debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2013.
Chief Vehicle Engineer Jens Schulenburg told the British car site: "The big challenge will be reducing weight – we are looking at some incredible technologies, such as wheels made entirely from carbon fibre."
Bugatti will focus on lowering the vehicle's curb weight by 250 kg (551 lbs) and the car that will have 1,600 horsepower and hit 290 mph.
The new Bugatti Veyron Super will retain the impressive W16 quad-turbo engine, but capacity could be increased from 8.0 to 9.6 litres. Which will go from 0 to 62 mph in 1.8 seconds and achieve a top speed of almost 290 mph (446.7 km/h).
