This is the Bugatti 16 C Galibier, which will be exhibited for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday. This is a concept that the introduction of new carriers of high-performance sedan for sale in 2013, commanding the price tag of about £ 900,000. Galibier officially been designed to gauge customer reaction to the four-door, four-seat Bugatti, but people who are interested in to make the production Veyron at the end of the year 2012.

The company remained silent about the technical details. But technical boss Wolfgang Schreiber admitted that he wanted to become Galibier production “of the world’s fastest, highest speed and powerful four-door” and suggests that maximum power would end at around 800bhp.

The Galibier is a four-wheel drive and power comes from the same W16 engine like the Veyron, although with twin superchargers mechanical, rather than four-turbocharger at mid-engined Sports car.

And unlike the Galibier sports car is expected to have eight conventional torque converter automatic transmission speed, not the DSG system.

Galibier wing doors and made of aluminum, but the rest of the body is built from carbon fiber and Schreiber acknowledged that the front end of the chassis is also largely made of carbon fiber to increase rigidity and weight.

People would not comment on the target weight production car, only that it is set to be the lightest car in its class.

The styling is said is influenced by the famous Bugatti Type 57 Atlantique which explains why the Galibier is a hatchback, rather than a conventional saloon and have a characteristic spine running through the body.

Basic architecture is also said to be inspired by what is called ‘plane’ style Type 35 and echoed by the Veyron. Four-seat cabin is more luxurious than the Veyron oriented and very minimalist.

Large wooden dash is dominated by two centrally mounted rapidly, showing power and speed are available, topping out at 390km / h (242mph) on the concept. Hours have been made by Swiss manufacturer Parmigiani and removeable, so it can be repaired on a watch specially designed for the customer.

Bugatti sales director Alisdair Stewart Autocar says that the decision to enter into production Galibier will be taken by spring next year after the concept car has traveled the world to put in front of potential customers. If you do not see the light of day, he expects up to 300 which will be made in Molsheim headquarters company.
