Bugatti has teased a new model – expected to be a variant of the Bugatti Chiron – ahead of its debut at Monterey Car Week.
Two short video clips published to social media show the silhouetted front and rear end of a car featuring styling radically different to the Chiron.
The fascia features a four-strip LED headlight design integrated into a thin, sharp-edged wheel arch, reminiscent of the track-focused, Chiron-derived Bugatti Divo.
The front end appears to show an open grille area underneath the headlight. Meanwhile, the bonnet features a central pillar and a large duct which is presumably mirrored onto the unseen side of the car.
The rear end features X-shaped tail lights similar to those on the upcoming Bugatti Bolide track car, linked by a central bar of LEDs.
The latest tweet's caption – "the last of its kind" – hints that this may be the final Chiron-based model before the next-generation Bugatti is launched.

No performance figures have been released by the hypercar maker, but expect something similar to the 1587bhp quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, if not the same engine.
Pricing for the as-yet-unnamed new Bugatti is expected to match the Chiron Super Sport 300+’s figure of around £3.1 million. A similar limited run of 30 units would also keep exclusivity high.
Bugatti – which merged with EV specialist Rimac Automobili in late 2021 to create Bugatti Rimac – will officially reveal the new model on 19 August at The Quail.
It's not alone in using Monterey Car Week for launches: Aston Martin has today revealed its bespoke DBR22 speedster, while Bentley is poised to unveil the Mulliner-made Batur on 21 August.

Even if they were £31 million a Car, they'd still sell!, still plenty multi millionaires out there who will buy Cars like this.
It's the old cliché "more money than sense". It can only be the fact that they are so expensive that makes them attractive to some people, because Bugattis leave me cold; they are not stylish or beautiful, the interiors do not look particularly welcoming and where are you going to be able to take advantage of a fraction of its over-engineering? If I had that sort of money I wouldn't even give a Bugatti a second thought.
You and I don't move in there World, we guess what these people do, we assume they're entitled persons who look down on us, whereas, they might be like us but with money, if I were in there Shoes, I might buy Cars, I might not even drive them all year on year, what they do with there money is there business , we don't know, would you like your personal stuff viewed by anyone?, no, well, there cash, there choice.
