Wondering what will come next from Bugatti now that the Veyron is nearing the end of its production run? According to emerging reports, it could be a very different kind of vehicle altogether.

Rumor has it that Bugatti is developing an electric vehicle, based on the Continental GT from sister company Bentley. The vehicle is said to be powered exclusively by electric motors and an advanced battery pack, delivering the equivalent of 800 horsepower and 1600 lb-ft of torque.

Whether the electric supercar will make it to market – or if it even exists at the moment – remains the subject of much speculation, but stay tuned and we'll be sure to bring you more as the picture becomes clearer.

That would be huge! I love Bugatti because it sets the automotive standards in all levels and shows the other manufacturers the limits of current manufacturing.
