Bugatti is back in 2016 with the 1500hp Chiron

One of the biggest thrillers being written in the car industry right now is what Volkswagen is doing to recover from its cheating diesel scandal. Estimates of the cost to VW Group vary widely, but most agree that $10 billion is probably on the low end.

That’s a lot of cash, even for one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers, and questions abound over which projects, new cars, or even brands might find themselves in for the corporate axe. The latest plot twist will take many by surprise: VW-owned Bugatti will indeed build a replacement for the Veyron.
