VW Group boss Martin Winterkorn has given the first official confirmation that a successor to the Bugatti Veyron will be built - and stated that it will have a hybrid powertrain, as predicted by Autocar in 2014.

Autocar sources suggest that Winterkorn made the comments in a far-reaching interview with German newspaper Bild which will be published on Sunday. In addition, Winterkorn confirmed that the long-awaited VW Group budget brand will finally be launched.

"Next to the petrol model there will be a hybrid version with added performance for the first time," Winterkorn told Bild. It is not clear if his comment suggests there will be separate hybrid and conventionally engined models, although the development costs of two powertrains make it highly unlikely.
