Default Bugatti four door übersedan?

http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/news/ne...way-174499.php



Bugatti’s going to do it again. And by “again” we mean a car that’s roomier than the Veyron, but not necessarily cheaper this time. Confirming rumors that the VW brand was planning an expansion, Bugatti announced it was working on a new four-door übersedan with (hold on to your hair plugs) 950 hp. No one has a clue about what the $1 million+ supersaloon will look like, but Dutch Designer Michiel van den Brink, designer of the Spyker D12, offers a spec image (above) of how such an Alsatian beast will appear on rollout day — around four years from now.

This would make much more sense than a smaller, cheaper verion of the Veyron..

And they can make all the money back they lost from developing the Veyron by using the phaeton bodies still sitting in the factory.

in 4 years, it may be possible that the Bently is using the same engine, and the AMG boys are at similar power levels

I guess you are right, but I think its great that Bugatti comes again with a 4 door saloon, oh well I know there were a lot of protoypes, I dont remember if they actually had one for production.....

An uber exotic sedan, with 950HP with a $1 mil + price tag sounds fantastic, this make a lot more sense than a smaller veyron. I hope they build it, and stick to the schedule this time, unlike the Veyron which was delayed a thousand times. But they already have the engine and most of the tech already built from the Veyron, so I guess it would be easier to bring this one to life.

Only you couldn't buy the Exelero even if you had the money. And we'll probably have petrol for at least another 40 years or so.
current estimates put that at more then dubble that... just look at where we know oil is, yet aren't getting it... or arent getting it efficiantly

hmm don´t know what to think about this. I´ve never heard about it but I´d really like to see it becoming reality. This would really be an astonishing car like the Veyron. Maby the next Auto Bild will have more info.

I think cheaper veyron would be better than 4 door super fast 1 millon$+ price tag car. But if they make a 500.000$+ 300km/h+ 4 door saloon it would be better.
