Most striking is its horseshoe-shaped rear lights and a vertical centre braking light, which is reminiscent of the Veyron’s twin air intakes on its roof. Its eight exhausts hint that the new Bugatti will make use of the Veyron’s 987bhp, 922lb ft W16 engine.

The picture doesn’t give much away what type of car the new Bugatti will be, but Bugatti sources have previously told Autocar the firm wants a second model in its line-up to compete with the Roll-Royce Phantom.
