Bugatti Galibier concept revealed
 

... not enough to drool over yet; but I'm def. looking forward to this!

Apparently related to the 100 year anniversary; and to be shown at Frankfurt in Sept.

that's going to be the best family car ever!!!:-D

what is it? a saloon? another coupe? a convertible veyron?

or dear goodness gracious, not a pickup or a small gas sipper

As long as it can go from a full tank to empty in under 15 minutes, I'll be pleased :)

^Fuel tank capacity: 10 Liters :P~

Doh! LOL

it's a saloon, that will probably weight over 2.5ton and goes 0-60 in low 3sec with a top speed around around 230mph

And take 7 years to develop ;)

It looks like a GTI with 900HP,I hope not:(

can't wait!! :-D

which isn't that much time when compared to other supercars that are mush less complicated

Bugatti Galibier leaks out after private unveiling in Molsheim

After months of speculation, Bugatti has finally pulled the wraps off its new four-door supercar concept just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for past customers and Bugatti-intenders. Up to this point, we've been referring to the French uber-sedan as the Bordeaux, but it seems the actual car's moniker will be Galibier – the name of a difficult Alpine pass along the Tour de France.

One of the Galibier's most striking features is undoubtedly its two-tone outer shell, which is comprised of both polished aluminum for the doors and front fenders and a unique dark blue carbon fiber weave that shines through when illuminated. We also note a prominent center spine that recalls past Bugattis like the Type 35 and the classically beautiful Type 57.

Powering the Galibier concept will be a version of Bugatti's ridiculously powerful eight-liter W16 powerplant. Unlike the mill propelling the Veyron to ludicrous speed, this version is mounted up front and is capable of running on ethanol fuel, which may or may not allow the automaker to squeeze a few more ponies out of the engine... not that it needs it, of course.

Current reports peg the Galibier's top speed at 217 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour), which, while slower than the Veyron's epic terminal velocity, is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Check out our gallery of high-res images below.

it looks... big; too big. Something just doesn't seem right with the style, and for once, I can't put my finger on it.
