Bugatti's new supercar is coming soon

Volkswagen's Bugatti will survive for at least one more supercar generation in the wake of the emissions scandal. Bugatti said it will introduce a new supercar soon after opening revamped showrooms in Manhattan and Miami late Thursday. Interest in the successor of the sold-out Veyron is “phenomenal" among North American customers, sales chief Stefan Brungs said in a statement on Friday. More outlets will follow in Munich, Monaco and Tokyo. Bugatti's new showroom concept is a “fundamental investment in the future of the brand," Brungs said.

The widening scandal over rigged diesel engines and understated carbon dioxide emissions has drawn scrutiny over whether Volkswagen will stick to extravagant operations such as Bugatti as the parent company plans wide-ranging spending cuts to become leaner and more efficient.
