The German automaker has also been believed to be working on the Project Lydia, a $3 million, 1175 horsepower super supercar that is more geared for the track than the touring Veyron.”Lydia” theoretically has a tuned up version of the 8-liter quad-turbo W16 currently found on the Veyron. Named for the wife of company-founder Ettore Bugatti, the car could blast through the Veyron’s top speed of 400 km/h (249mph).

If the rumours turn out to be true, it would certainly be an unusual timing if a new, extremely expensive Royale were to come out now.The original $30,000(RM143,000) Type 41 Royale was planned as a 25-unit limited edition, however only 6 unit are sold due to a Great Depression at that time.However, in today’s money, that would be a sticker price of around $368,800(RM1,750,000) a far cry from the 1.1 million euro(RM5,200,000) retail price of the Veyron.
