Bugatti is bringing a V16 engine to their lineup, with more details to be released later in 2024. The Bugatti Chiron successor will sport a V16 hybrid powertrain, with rumors that it’s a Cosworth naturally aspirated V16, producing 1,000 horsepower and revving to 9,000 RPM. If the rumors are to be believed, it will also be paired with three 250kW electric motors, for a potent AWD system with blistering acceleration.
But, who cares about rumors, right? What are the facts? In this video, we’ll dive into the images shared by Bugatti, to get a deeper understanding of the engineering behind this V16 combustion engine. We’ll talk torque curves, firing intervals, firing order, V-angles, crossplane vs flatplane, balance, and see how the rumors hold up to a little math.
