Bugatti Will Launch A Second Model Line - And It'll Be An SUV

Reports are suggesting that declining four-door luxury car sales have changed Bugatti's direction - its second model line is now most likely to be an SUV
Bugatti Will Launch A Second Model Line - And It'll Be An SUV

Bugatti is ready to expand with a second model line, according to reports – and it’s likely to be an SUV.

The French firm is said to have switched its plans away from a four-door ‘Galibier’ saloon based on a lengthened Chiron platform. Sales of such cars are still falling across the globe, in contrast to the continued SUV boom.

Quoting Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann, Autocar has said that the company is ready to build a second model, with Winkelmann adding that “we would look at every body style and regional demand, and not put our money into something that is fading.” That would make a four-door, like the one above rendered by X-Tomi Design, look unlikely.

SUVs are the growth models in pretty much all North American, European and Asian markets right now, so if profits are the primary concern then it wouldn’t make sense for a second Bugatti to be anything else. Whether it would use the Chiron’s chassis modified for more ground clearance or an entirely new one remains to be seen.

Winkelmann has prior when it comes to high-level SUV production. He was in charge of Lamborghini during the design and initial engineering of the Urus, which only recently came to market. A Bugatti SUV could feasibly use a development of the same underpinnings.

See with bugatti, it kindve makes sense, it being a luxury company, but with Ferrari, no, that just doesn’t make any sense at all when you exclude money

Ehhh… This is above my pay grade, and I’m done hating on SUV’s….so have at it Bugatti.

If you saw the massive craters I had to drive around d and through to get to work today……I said “self I see the alure of a raised vehicle in some circumstances.

I’m more mad about Ford pulling the ST hatches out of the US for and Edge ST. A2 million dollar SUV… I’m actually half interested to see what they tell this thing is going to look like and what it can do.
