Despite recent concern over the company’s future, Bugatti president Thomas Bscher insists the show will go on. “There will be another car,” Bscher said in an interview with The Car Connection.
Bugatti will first build a number of low-volume variants based on the Veyron, which itself is limited to a production run of just 300 units. The company is already believed to be working on a Targa version of Veyron, which would sell for a reported $1.9 million.
Later, Bugatti could move somewhat downmarket, according to Bscher. As previously noted, there is concern within the VW group about how a vehicle priced below $300,000 might impact Bentley and Lamborghini, but cars above the price point are hard to make at a profit. VW shareholder Porsche is said to be pressuring Volkswagen to keep Bugatti out of its territory. It’s unclear how or when VW, Porsche, and Bugatti will come to a consensus, but we’ll keep you posted.

Oh good! I was afraid I’d never have the chance to buy a Bugatti of my own!

Volkawagen group is a mess at the moment. They have the R8, Gallardo and maybe even the bugatti version going directly at Porsche 911. Any car Bugatti mght go for will probably overlap with someone else

bugatti can go in the bentley territory in price range they are not the same segment so it wont steal sales from bentley but if they go low enough they will blend with lambo

I love this line: [Later, "Bugatti could move somewhat downmarket, according to Bscher."] Thankfully all of those poor bastards driving Bentley’s and Lambo’s will be able to one day buy a Bugatti.

I was hoping for the $70K lightweight Elise fighter. Not all Bugattis were ultracars.
