ridiculous :eek:


The Galibier is Bugatti’s long-awaited sedan–and from the specs put out, it’s a class ahead of Rolls’s Ghost. The Galibier’s is equipped with a Volkswagen (http://www.carversation.com/2009/09/16/gallery-bugatti-16c-galibier/#) 8.0 L W-16 motor and a body made of blue composite and silver aluminum. The W-16 is flex-fuel and the car (http://www.carversation.com/2009/09/16/gallery-bugatti-16c-galibier/#) runs on Audi’s permanent all-wheel-drive. The interior decor is akin to the antique saloons of yore, with a blend of wood, metal, and fine leathers.

It looks hideous.

Everything from the chrome paint, the interior, the curvy panamera like rear to the 8 tailpipes is just hideous.

However, they will survive because of their brand equity and the Veyron name.
It won't be nearly as successful as the Veyron though.
3/4 of them were sold to the UAE.

Couldn't have said that better myself if I studied the Veyron for a year. :bowdown:

I wish the automotive industry was as good earlier so i could have studied it.

What were you using the Veyron as a study piece for?

Whoops, had a tired moment and missed half the comment lol.

It sort of looks like the Aston Martin Lagonda, except AM had the brains to say it was only a concet and will never make it to production.

Awesome, imagine the road presence (ever driven alongside a newish RR and you'll know what I mean). Absolutely magnificently OTT! Want!




Will never have:frown:

Brushed aluminium sorry, it just looked like the cars from Pimp My Ride so i figured it was chrome.

It probably will only sell in UAE since they can afford fuel and the car.
However most of them only use 2 door sportscars.

Why bother with a 4 door passenger car veyron when you could just get a Bently.

Its a thumbs up from me. I like it.
It looks bigger than a porsche panamera, but much less obese and whale-like. Which is a good thing.

LOL, most of you wouldnt even know what a bugatti was if it wasnt for the Veyron and that was one of the objects that VW was trying to achive with the Veyron.
Have a look at the other bugatti models guys, Bugatti never built prity cars they all look like this and have 16 to 18 cylinders. They built cars for royalty and arabs with to much oil before it all became "main stream" and every raper had 2 of them. Their only competitors where Rols Royce and Maybach now people compare them to all sorts of crap.

Cars like that are only bought 'because'. I don't think it has much to do with how it looks.
