Bugatti Veyron: End of production coming soon
With a limited production of 300 cars and having sold already 50 in 2006, the production for the Bugatti Veyron is soon to end. But don't worry, a successor will come! Good news.
The question is what will come next, said the executive, adding that he hopes to have a decision made by mid-2007.
"There will be another car," despite rumors and reports that Bugatti might be a one-trick pony, insisted Bscher. In the near-term, Bugatti is likely to produce a small number of high-priced supercars, variants based on the Veyron, but longer-term, the Volkswagen subsidiary may turn in a very different direction. One possibility, said Bscher, would be to go into a much lower-priced market segment. That could increase potential sales significantly, but Bugatti can't go too low, or it might wind up competing with the roughly $150,000 GT, built by VW sibling division, Bentley. On the other hand, potential sales become extremely limited - and in the process, so does profitability - if Bugatti's next venture runs more than $300,000.
