Default Bugatti Galibier leaks out after private unveiling in Molsheim

Bugatti Galibier concept - Click above for high-res image gallery

After months of speculation, Bugatti has finally pulled the wraps off its new four-door supercar concept just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for past customers and Bugatti-intenders. Up to this point, we've been referring to the French uber-sedan as the Bordeaux, but it seems the actual car's moniker will be Galibier – the name of a difficult Alpine pass along the Tour de France.

One of the Galibier's most striking features is undoubtedly its two-tone outer shell, which is comprised of both polished aluminum for the doors and front fenders and a unique dark blue carbon fiber weave that shines through when illuminated. We also note a prominent center spine that recalls past Bugattis like the Type 35 and the classically beautiful Type 57.

Powering the Galibier concept will be a version of Bugatti's ridiculously powerful eight-liter W16 powerplant. Unlike the mill propelling the Veyron to ludicrous speed, this version is mounted up front and is capable of running on ethanol fuel, which may or may not allow the automaker to squeeze a few more ponies out of the engine... not that it needs it, of course.

Current reports peg the Galibier's top speed at 217 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour), which, while slower than the Veyron's epic terminal velocity, is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

The "prominent center spine" is a great touch. Imagine having your garage consist of a Veyron and this?

aside from the 4 tailpipes on each side....... I'd rock one.

Up to this point, we've been referring to the French uber-sedan as the Bordeaux, but it seems the actual car's moniker will be Galibier – the name of a difficult Apline pass along the Tour de France.

Now that is a proper "I have much more money than you" sedan.

Dare I say its style blows the RR out of the water. Bentley doesn't even compare (even though it too breaks 200mph).

Again, this was TXIC related as JB is probably going to get one of those.

$1.7 million for the coupe. tires are good for 10k. wheels are good for 30k. replacing tires and wheels together $73,000. Any bolt(Ti) removed from the Veyron can only be used 1 time @ $85 per bolt. the 60k mile service the car has to be shipped off to be split in half and serviced oooorr you can fly techs in and have it done where you are. <--- baller for sure.

Gorgeous car and I agree, the centerline spine is a very cool throwback to Bugatti's history.

It does say Dunlop, but I thought Michelin made the tires for the Veyron?
