Considering the Bugatti Veyron costs seven figures — around $1.3 million in the United States — most folks have suspected the much-rumored ‘Baby Bugatti’ would probably cost between $100,000 and $200,000. However, AutoBild magazine is reporting that Volkswagen has much different plans for its second supercar brand. The new Bugatti will cost just 50,000 euros and have a four-cylinder turbo engine putting out between 280 and 320 horsepower. Most importantly, it will weigh just 2,444 pounds. That means it will spring to 62 mph in somewhere between four and five seconds. It will also have a top speed of 188 mph, according to the report. Clearly, the roadster will target the Porsche Boxster/Cayman and BMW Z4M. But with substantially less weight than those vehicles, it would be much quicker. The car is said to have development numbers BG913 (coupe) and BG914 (roadster). Between 5,000 and 6,000 units are to be made each year, with an introduction toward the end of the decade.
