Bugatti Galibier Could Hit the Market by 2013 with Million-Euro Price Tag
The Bugatti 16C Galibier was supposed to be one of three concept cars which the most exclusive of automakers was set to unveil as a potential replacement for the legendary Veyron supercar, now nearing the end of its production run. But reports now suggest that the Alsatian marque is preparing to put the four-door super-saloon into production.
With a de-tuned version of the Veyron's quad-turbo W16 engine producing "only" 800 horsepower instead of its predecessor's 1000, the production version of the Galibier could borrow its chassis from the new Bentley Mulsanne and carry a seven-figure price tag to match the Veyron's if and when it hits the market, which sources peg around 2013. Better start saving now.

This car is ugly. Looks like a Pacer fanboy's doodlings. And that grill.

Robert,
As the French would say, "Chacun a' son gout," which translates as, "To each his own (taste)."
The car is stunning. (I was going to end that with an exclamation point, but the car doesn't need one. In looks, any way, it is its own exclamation point.)

You are correct, but I still think it is homely. Perhaps when some tuner gives one a makeover I might change my mind. I do like the interior though.

I like it too. A solid exterior color might be stunning as well. What a wonderfully clean, simple and elegant interior.
