The second class name which is after new keyword, is actually a constructor name which is there in the program by default. I hope you understand

Firstly to declare the type and secondly to invoke the constructor.

The left side i.e, Vehicle bugatti means create a object called bugatti of type Vehicle, like same as "int i" or "String s". The right side i.e, new Vehicle(); is to store everything the class Vehicle has in the object bugatti like same as "8, 10" or "Science is Cool".

The constructor have to have the same name like the class. So you have a class and inside a constructor: public class MyClass{ //constructor public MyClass(){ } } And when you create an object you normally call the constructor via new. new MyClass() calls the constructor, which returns an instance of MyClass. In your example bugatti is a variable from type Vehicle. The constructor returns an instance of Vehicle which is assigned o bugatti.
