The Bugatti Galibier 16C was expected to be the next model
to be created by Bugatti. Production of the car was initially
slated for 2013, one year after the Veyron's production
run was supposed to end. However this production schedule
has since been cancelled.
Like the Veyron, the Galibier 16C uses a prominent two-tone
color scheme, although for the Galibier 16C concept Bugatti
have gone one step further and added a chrome on midnight
blue finish.
At the heart of the Bugatti Galibier 16C is the same immense
W16 engine from the Veyron. Except where the Veyron's
powerplant benefited from four turbochargers the version
used in the Galibier 16C is fitted with two, reducing
power output to around 800 hp. Power is sent to all four
wheels through an 8 speed automatic transmission. No less
than 8 exhaust pipes at the rear hint at the massive performance
potential.
The doors and front arches of the Galibier 16C are made
from aluminium, but the rest of the body is formed from
carbon-fibre, as is the front end of the chassis.
The styling of the Bugatti Galibier 16C is influenced
by the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantique, as evidenced by the
spine which runs down the centre of the car and bisects
the rear window. The name recalls a special edition model
of the Type 57.
