# Bugatti renews the Veyron—and backs combustion

Bugatti has marked the Veyron’s anniversary with a one-off restoration through La Maison Pur Sang, its official restoration and certification programme. Bugatti says the programme can preserve, restore and reconfigure its cars. The project lands alongside a sharper signal about what comes next: reporting cited by Road & Track says Bugatti-Rimac chief Mate Rimac expects the top end of the sports-car market to stick with petrol engines, while reports also say the company has considered a naturally aspirated V16 hypercar with a physical clutch pedal and mechanical shift linkages. That remains an idea, not a confirmed production car.

This update is based on Bugatti’s programme information and newsroom material, supplemented by attributed automotive reporting.
