Bugatti unveiled the 16C Galibier Concept back in September and now the automaker has showed the car off at a special event in Los Angeles.
The concept is powered by a 8.0L W16 engine with twin-turbochargers that is expected to be mated to an eight-speed transmission. Bugatti hasn't released official specs for the all-wheel-drive Galibier, but it's been rumored that the W16 engine will put out around 800 horsepower and the car will have a top speed around 220 mph.
Bugatti claims that when it is officially released the Galibier will be the fastest and most powerful four-passenger sedan available.

Just one very minor nitpick - aside from the stitched name in the headrests, the rest is simply scrumtrulescent.

It does look super sweet, I especially like the picture where it is juxtaposed with the Veyron. But that third brake light in the rear windscreen, that almost kinda looks "tacked on." I think it would look classier without it.

Hey Mazda6, what's in a ordinary model name? Galibier? Hmm,, this is one I'd name 'get r done' (haha) not that Suzuki. 16 cylinder twin turbo....wow.

I'm sorry, but if you painted over the chromed fenders it would be boring enough looking to slap a Chrylser logo onto. I get what they were going for, what with the spine line through the rear window and all, but the end shape bores me.
I will grant that the shape could well be very functional. Not much there for the wind to complain about. :/

Nice resemblance to the classic. I couldn't afford to even look at it, so it's a ... "so what". Overall, I must admit I sure like the lines of Infinity's "Essence" concept a lot more. (Still cannot afford that one either, but certainly more attractive to me.)
