The Veyron's successor is powered by an 8.0-litre, quad-turbo W16 engine that cranks out 1,480bhp of power and 1,600Nm of torque. Once the model hits the road, it is ready to claim the title of the world's most powerful street car.

Durheimer also said that the hypercar will be able to accelerate from 0 to 400km/h and return to zero in under 60 seconds. This is something no other hypercar manufacturers have never tested before. Koenigsegg is the only automaker which has done this type of acceleration and deceleration test before.
