Volkswagen's plans to move to an electric future is causing a shake up in the company. Now a report citing unnamed VW executives puts the future of its Lamborghini and Bugatti Brands in doubt.

Now this is something you don't see everyday. A little exotic car show had two Bugattis on display, an older Bugatti Veyron and its new sibling the Bugatti Chiron.

Bugatti may be adding a daily driver in the next few years. It will likely be an electric and it will top out in the seven-figure range, but, it will still cost less than the marque's bread-and-butter supercar line, the Chiron. And, it will have to be fast.

Though the future is still far from certain, Bugatti is considering a "lower-cost" electric model that would slot in underneath the expensive Chiron. Though no costs have been closely discussed, it is likely that it would be in the half-a-million-dollar range.

If you are interested in one of the world's most wanted cars, you have your chance to buy one, but you have to have $7.5 million to play. When the Divo was introduced at Pebble Beach last year all of the build slots -- 40 -- were thought to have been presold. But, according to Mobile.de a German dealer has put a build slot -- and the Divo that is in that slot -- on sale for the figure noted. It's the first one available.

One of 30 Bugatti EB110 Super Sports, made as part of the effort to qualify for Le Mans in the early 1990s, will go on Sotheby's auction block next year. The SS, made using carbon-Kevlar body panels, was originally sold to a German citizen, but it ended up in a Japanese collection. Its condition makes it a sought-after collectible in the automotive world.

In a wide-ranging interview, Stephen Winkelmann, honcho of Bugatti, put to rest the idea that the hypercar manufacturer was going to attempt a run at the land speed record for production models. He also noted there would be no drop-top Chiron Divo, as well.

For the last couple of years -- okay, it seems like that long -- Bugatti has been hinting that it would be building an SUV. However, any comments in that direction were just left hanging in mid-air as the commenter moved on to other topics. Now, though, it looks a little more likely. But -- there's always a but -- it will only come if VW (Bugatti's parent) can find the bucks to do the job.

Maybe you have heard about this and maybe you haven't but Bugatti certainly has. It seems that the automaker believes in its new Divo. Indeed, Bugatti showed a "limited number" of Bugatti owners its new line-topper and as a result, they have sold every copy, all 40 of them. They have also added $240 million to their coffers.

Even hypercars have recalls. It is how you handle them that matters and for a Bugatti owner they are handled quite well, thank you .

Did anyone ask this simple question, why? Why on earth use a$2.3 million hypercar to do some burnouts? If you find the answer, let us know.

In a move that has surprised many, the owner of a very early Bugatti Chiron has decided to auction the hypercar at Sotheby's Paris auction. Pricing is expected between $3.8 and $4.3 million, though it could go higher. It is one of only 18 delivered in the second quarter of 2017.

Bugatti has met its own ambitious production goals as it has turned out 70 Chiron hypercars in a bit over nine months. It has to stay on track with the numbers as it still has 230 customers who have paid up to $3 million for their supercars and may have to wait another two years for their turns.

Bugatti has recalled two-thirds of the first year's output of Bugatti Chirons to fix a problem with seat recliner welds. The improperly welded seatbacks can shift suddenly leading to the possibility of a crash.
