Zooming along a German road, this disguised supercar is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron - and is rumoured to have a maximum speed of 288mph.

The video - from Audo Bild TV - shows two prototypes travelling alongside a Veyron Super Sport and a BMW i8.

It has been suggested the new Bugatti supercar - that will become the world's fastest car - will be called the Chiron.

It is thought the new Bugatti will be called the Chiron and have a breathtaking top speed of 288mph

At present, the Veyron is the world's fastest street-legal production car, reaching 0-60mph in only 2.5 seconds.

Selling for around £1.4million, there were only 450 of the exclusive model ever made that was named by Top Gear as 'car of the decade'.

But it could now be eclipsed by its eagerly anticipated successor.

The Chiron is said to be capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just two seconds, with a top speed of 288mph - more than 20mph quicker than the Veyron.

The debut of the Chiron is expected to take place next year, possibly at the Paris Auto Show.

It is thought that the company will likely use the same quad-turbo W16 engine found in the Veyron

FAST FACTS: THE BUGATTI CHIRON

Maximum power 1500bhp

Torque target 1106lb ft

Projected top speed 288mph

0-60mph 2.0sec

The video of the new Bugatti came as a 1925 Bugatti Brescia went on sale in Paris today for £180,000.

The 1925 Bugatti Brescia is one of just 12 surviving examples of the model and has been in the hands of the same owner, who has not restored or modified the car in any way, since 1953.

The 90-year-old vehicle was one of four Bugattis once in the hands of the current owner Bernard Terrillon, who sold the other three in the 1970s.

The Brescia remained mysteriously unsold, however, and was forgotten about until being rediscovered in the barn by family members earlier this year.

Car auctioneers Artcurial will sell the Bugatti Brescia at a sale in Paris on June 22. There will be no reserve.
