Bugatti Veyron In Production
November 28th, 2006Piëch retired that year as chairman of Volkswagen and was replaced by Bernd Pischetsrieder. The new chairman promptly sent the Veyron back to the drawing board for major revisions. Neumann was replaced as Bugatti president by Thomas Bscher in December of 2003, and substantial modifications were made to the Veyron under the guidance of former VW engineer, Bugatti Engineering head Wolfgang Schreiber.
The final version of the Veyron was presented at Château Saint Jean on September 3, 2005, in a party at which George Clooney and Alain Prost attended.
To boost revenues, Bugatti is considering a second model. It won’t be a small sports car, as had been rumored. It will be probably a four-seat car with front engine (like the EB 118 and EB 218), and its own unique chassis, and based on the Veyron engine and drivetrain.
