Jeff Breault on Rumors of Bugatti’s New Lineup

With the Geneva Motor Show just around the corner, Jeff Breault and other industry insiders are observing if the rumors about Bugatti’s new lineup will be a reality.

Early this year, rumors of a redesigned supercar from the industry manufacturer surfaced. Supposedly though, the new lineup will bring nostalgia to long-time Bugatti fans, since it will be based on a classic. Rumor has it that the car company will be coming out with a new line inspired by the 57 SC Atlantic.

However, there are also rumors saying that the classic design is just a custom order and will not be available as a full lineup. Supposedly, the revival of the 57 SC Atlantic in the new design is not what observers like Jeff Breault are expecting. Instead, it is only a custom, one-off order from ex-VW chief, Dr. Ferdinand Piech that reportedly costs about $18 million.

The 57 SC Atlantic is one of the few classics that made Bugatti a household name in the industry, so the car manufacturer has been interpreting its design into some of its newer releases. Most recently, Bugatti incorporated some Atlantic-inspired features into the 2016 release of the Galibier. Meanwhile, although Bugatti is confirmed to unveil its 2019 lineup, one thing is also certain – the car company will be sticking to its brand design, and no utility vehicles will be present. This is in response to previous rumors that Bugatti will be coming out with its own SUV lineup. According to the notes in its annual company review, Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed that the company will stay true to its brand and history, and will not venture out into other lineups like utility vehicles. Winkelmann confirmed that “there will be no SUV from Bugatti.”
