Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept – beautiful in black

Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept – beautiful in black

Remember Bugatti’s 16C Galibier concept? Unveiled at last year’s Frankfurt show to a very select audience, the “four-door Veyron” remains a concept for now, but new images have surfaced showing the Galibier in black, looking much sleeker than the initial car which had a two-tone blue and mirror like aluminium finishing.

Black allows us to focus more on the 8.0-litre W16 powered Galibier’s interesting detailing and body shape. The chrome strip that starts from the base of the A-pillar wraps around the doors and continues after the front wheels to make a loop with the other side, only interrupted by the imposing grille. The sloping rear sports four exhaust tips on each side and a spine brake light that divides the rear screen. This spine runs the length of the car – it looks like a fish when seen from the top.

The new gallery also shows the amazing detailing of the sumptuous four-seat cabin, which is covered in tan leather and fine wood. There’s also a full set of matching Galibier luggage, because for the owner of a car as exclusive as this (if it ever makes production), even limited edition Louis Vuittons won’t do.

Amazingly excessive! Gawk at the pictures after the jump! Previous set of images can be viewed here.

    So the towkey needs to pay 'Schumi' as a driver…

    If not, then what is this car for? Unless he himself is 'Schumi'

    Please do not reminds us of our lousy car industry, sheesh, give us a break, comparing Gen.2 with Bugatti? This is way too much! It's like comparing a rotten apple with an apple made from diamond!

    For your knowledge, starting with double exhaust system, it was the American Muscle Car industry first introduce this more than one exhaust system concept back in the 60's and 70's. Due to the massive power and torque of V8 engine incorporated in their muscle cars. Whatever it is, I'm very certain "Ah Beng" has nothing to do with this. LOL, people are giving too much credit to "Ah Beng".

    Cayenne = Toureg = Q7

    Panamera = Bugatti Galibier

    That what happens, when you "telan" all the company and put under one roof. Sure ada few ada model that u guys can add to that… and of course other makers are doing the same. Good for the economic of scale for the company tapi we get much of the same car…with different names…
