Besides the Chiron R, Bugatti seems to have something else in the pipeline for 2020.
This video, which recently surfaced on Instagram reveals a prototype Chiron. While it does look different to the regular Chiron, it’s unlikely to be the Chiron R. The test car has a different front bumper that looks similar to that on the Chiron SS 300+. The headlights appear to be re-profiled for a more meaner look. Besides that, the horseshoe grille is unlike any Chiron we’ve seen before and is wider at its lowest point.

The protoytpe appears to have a redesigned front splitter. Moving to the side, the distinct vents behind the front fenders and on the side skirts are similar to the Chiron SS 300+. However, unlike the record-setting car, it does not have an elongated rear deck lid. The rear diffuser and exhaust setup is more like the regular Chiron as well.
So, what could this be? Is it the Chiron Super Sport without the crazy 300+ mph top speed?

Its the Bugatti Superlegerra that a Stephen Winkelmann spoke of early last year, that will be about shedding weight, over topspeed! The Chiron Superleggera was also in South Africa at the same time that the spyshots emerged of the Chiron R!! Look back at those spyshots and you will notice a huge covered car crate next to the Chiron R, that was the Chiron Superleggera in the crate, in some shots you will see it,while in the head on one you will notice that its gone! Both models were hot weather testing, and in fact the woman driving in the video looks like to be Bugatti development driver Julia Lemke who also shook down the Divo last year!!! These final 2 models will keep.the team busy into late next year,…. And then we await the Chiron successor which is in pre- development as we speak in Wolfsburg, Germany, with design work started already as well as chassis engineering!!!🤫😉🤔
This is exactly what I posted on the pic on the page above!!
Thanks Demone for pointing this out.
Not a problem, I will be in Geneva next week for the show, so I will see what I can gather on both the Chiron R and the Chiron Superleggera
