Bugatti unveiled the 16C Galibier Concept in Frankfurt last month and reportedly it has been given the green light for production according to Auto Express.
The four-door concept features a 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine borrowed from the Veyron, which will be detuned to 800 horsepower and mated to a conventional eight speed transmission. It's estimated that the Galibier would reach a top speed of 220 mph.
If these reports are true expect to see the Galibier's release in 2013 with a price tag of £900,000 price tag, which is about $1.4 million.

I admit I do like the chrome. That's pretty kick ass.
But if you can pony up 1.4 million, why not go for the Veyron? I mean really.

LOL
Why wouldn't they just go for a Veyron?
Because they probably already have 1, 2 or 3 like those wealthy sheiks in the middle east.

I think it is ugly the grill reminds me of the Ford Edsel. For that much money they could make the front look better.

Call me crazy, but given that this car weighs MORE than a Veyron, why would you want to lower the power?

@ Totenglocke,
So the conventional 8-speed automatic won't destroy itself.

Looks like a shiny Panamera with a square nose at 14 times the price.

@Noya
Build a stronger wussamatic. It's a freaking $1.4 million car - they can spend some money for a better transmission.

Why bother when rich people will spend more for less any way.
