Agreed, this ticks all the right buttons for a Bugatti. I love that it's a naturally aspirated 16 cylinder engine too. I take it this is the successor from the Veyron->Chiron line?

yep this will be the new the bugatti once the chiron is phased out

i'm most excited of all about this because the person running the show now is a proper enthusiast and a very accomplished engineer in his own right, and i'm confident that Mr. Rimac will put out a product that truly excels on all levels... i'd also expect build quality to improve now that there's no more VW connection haha

Sounds very expensive.
No mass production there so they can feel free to charge whatever they want for replacement parts. Lol

I doubt that last part TBH, VW group has some of the best built cars for their tier period.

It absolutely does, so does Bentley, Audi, and Lambo.
