Bugatti Galibier sedan concept revealed
After months of teasing retarded bloggers with a shadowy photo, Bugatti has finally revealed its new four-door sedan concept ahead of the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for Bugatti customers. Originally christened the Bordeaux by rumor-mongers, the super-sedan is called the Galibier, named after a difficult Alpine pass along the Tour de France route.
Obvious features include a two-tone body, comprising of polished aluminum for the doors and front-end, and a dark-blue carbon fiber weave that shines through when illuminated. A prominent ‘spine’ along the middle of the car recalls past Bugatti models like the Type 35 and the Type 57.
Powering the Bugatti Galibier concept is a version of Bugatti’s 8.0L W16 turbo engine. Top speed is expected to be around 217 mph.
