The only detail confirmed so far is that the hypercar will feature an internal combustion engine. Experts have speculated the motor could feature a 8.3-liter V16 developed by Cosworth.
Alternatively the speed machine could be powered by a Lamborghini Revuelto's V12 or the VW Group's V8.
The car will replace the outgoing Chiron, currently the world's fastest road car.
Former Bugatti Director of Design, Achim Anscheidt, said last year the car is going to be "even more amazing" than the fearsome Mistral.
He said: "It's going to be amazing, proportionally, technologically, in terms of innovation, in terms of unexpectedness.
"It's going to blow people out of the water completely, and it's a true joy to work on this."
Bugatti has been working on the car's design since 2021. Bosses at Bugatti have promised a glimpse of the motor this summer.
Last year Bugatti revealed the new 1,578 horsepower Bolide, branded by as the "evil twin" of its Chiron model, which ranked as the fastest car in the world this year.

Weighing just 1,450kg, it is built from composite carbon fibre and designed to run on 98Ron super unleaded fuel.
For reference, that's the same weight as the average VW Passat with just under ten times the horsepower.
Every inch of the body has been specially constructed to fit around the vehicle's beating heart in the form of a quadruple turbocharged W16 engine.
Only 40 are set to be produced and this, combined with its unbelievable speed, results in a huge price tag of £3.5 million each.
