Is a 50,000 € Baby Bugatti coming ?

According to Auto Bild a 50,000 € Baby-Bugatti is coming, both in a coupè and a roadster version.

The engine would be based on the 2.0 liters Turbo-FSI engine of the Golf GTI / Audi TT. Before being mounted on a Bugatti, it’ll get a nice HP injection: the first power-step should be 280 hp (2010), later it should go up to 320 hp (around 2015). The gearbox would be a 7-speed DSG, probably coupled to a 4WD system.

Thanks to a very rigid aluminium build and a minimalistic cockpit, the weight should be around 1.100 kg, which would let the Baby-Bugatti leave the direct rivals in the dust (cars such as the Porsche Boxster or the BMW Z4). Performance data is projected to be impressive: less than 5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, top speed around 300 km/h for the 320 hp version.

But here is the problem: will Porsche look on and do nothing, or will it use its position as VW’s main shareholder to try and stop this very interesting project ?

The codename for the baby-Bugatti is BG913 (coupè) / BG914 (roadster). The Bugatti will probably be produced in limited numbers (5-6.000 units / year) and it would be the precursor for a new range of models based on the same (or on a similar) plaform and sold under the Audi, VW and Seat brands.

You can find some sketches of the Baby-Bugatti in Auto Bild’s image gallery [Via Autoblog.nl].

50.000 euros is too little for a Bugatti, even for a baby veyron. It must be some mistake. Still it’s very nice looking

Bugatti - a four door coupè with 950 hp Bugatti president Thomas Bscher has officialy denied that a cheap Bugatti coupè/roadster is coming. Au contraire, it seems that the next Bugatti is going to be another million-dollar car: a 950 hp 4 door coupè-saloon. Another Royale ?
