Bugatti 16C Galibier
In September of 2009, Bugatti introduced the 16C Galibier concept car, the first modern 4-door Bugatti. The Galibier name is taken from the original designation for the 4-door saloon model of the Type 57.
As with all concept cars, the final version may differ from the initial preview, but it is expected to be powered the same 16 cylinder multi-fuel engine capable of speeds similar to (and with a pricetag in the range of) the Veyron.
The W16 engine will use two superchargers instead of the four turbochargers used on the Veyron.
It can churn out between 588kW (800hp) and 735kW (1,000hp), all of which is channeled to all four wheels using the AWD system.
Standard fuel is petrol but ethanol can be used as an alternative. To stop it running away from the driver is a set of powerful carbon ceramic brakes.
