If its something in the vein of the Royale for the modern age I’m all for it. This makes sense in showing the marques range other than building a wild super car followed by an wild track car.
Bugatti Project Lydia is Reportedly Dead
Written By: Seyth Miersma
Recent reports of Bugatti plans to build an even faster, and more expensive, track-focused sibling to the Veyron 16.4, appear now to be dead in the water.
According to “well-placed” sources, Bugatti and parent company Volkswagen did fully research the potential Veyron spin-off (allegedly codenamed ‘Lydia), but found that the concept was ultimately not worthwhile.
Bugatti is reportedly still interested in a second model though, but one more useful for driving to see a race at the track, than driving on it. Plans may be now underway to create a front-engined four-door coupe, one powerful and exclusive enough to command a $1 million-plus price tag, without fear of cutting into Bentley territory.

I saw an idea for the 4 door Bugatti, it was amazing, and with the Veyron’s engine it would be great

Anyone else think Maybach and Bugatti will return to the grave this time next decade?
