The luxury manufacturer behind the world's fastest car has announced the arrival of a new superbike, the PG Bugatti bike (pictured)
Bugatti will release just 667 models in a range of colours later this year.
The French company has teamed up with elite bike company PG to create the ultimate sports bike.
The super-light bike is fitted with aerodyamic technology and all of its parts are handmade using 'materials and methods otherwise found only in motor sport and aeronautic industries'.
The bike is single-speed and features one chain, one seat stay and is belt-driven.
A belt-driven bike is a chainless bicycle that uses a belt to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel.

The elite sports vehicle, which has flat handle bars, will set you back a staggering $39,000 (£32,000)
This has allowed the company to build a bike with the 'lightest weight and highest rigidity possible', according to Bugatti's website.
'Frame, fork, rims, handlebar, seat, seat post, crank and brake are made of the highest quality carbon fibre available in today's market,' the website reads.
The bike's release will coincide with the arrival of the new Chiron supercar.

'Upon request, customers of the supercar builder can have their bicycles matched to their own Bugattis,' the website says.
'Special paints, carbon in various colours, numerous types of leather and, of course, the Bugatti pearl oval make the Bugatti bike the perfect supplement for the 1,500 PS dream car.'
The vehicle costs considerably more than most people's cars. The average motorist spends just £20,000 on a car in the UK and $33,560 in the US.
But the luxury bike is not intended for road use, the company said.
'The special bike is a piece of sports equipment which is not intended to be used on public roads,' according to the website.
