Bugatti's "second car"
Despite recent concern over the company's future, Bugatti president Thomas Bscher insists the show will go on. "There will be another car," Bscher said in an interview with The Car Connection.
Bugatti will first build a number of low-volume variants based on the Veyron, which itself is limited to a production run of just 300 units. The company is already believed to be working on a Targa version of Veyron, which would sell for a reported $1.9 million.
Later, Bugatti could move somewhat downmarket, according to Bscher. As previously noted, there is concern within the VW group about how a vehicle priced below $300,000 might impact Bentley and Lamborghini, but cars above the price point are hard to make at a profit. VW shareholder Porsche is said to be pressuring Volkswagen to keep Bugatti out of its territory. It's unclear how or when VW, Porsche, and Bugatti will come to a consensus.

I personally don't think that Bugati should make a $300,000 car cause there are just too many choises in that price range already, but it'll be interesting to see what they'll come up with next.

difference between the Eb110 and diablo now is that if they don't really want to make a Bugatti to compete against the Murcielago cause they're both owned by the same company.
