The Bugatti 16C Galibier is a luxury 5-door fastback production car soon to go onto the market after Bugatti stops production of the Veyron in 2014-2015 after they sell the last 200 that will ever be made. Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. debuted the 16C Galibier at an invitation-only show held at the Molsheim, France assembly salon on September 12, 2009. The 16C Galibier uses a front-mounted, 8.0 L twin-supercharged W16 engine that delivers power via permanent four-wheel drive. The Galibier will feature a world's-largest engine, similar to the one currently in the Bugatti Veyron.
A production version of the 16C Galibier concept, expected to be named the Royale is scheduled to reach the market in 2014- 2015.Design
The 16C Galibier features a hood which opens in two parts along a central hinge. The 16C Galibier features the longitudinal rib also seen on the previous EB118 and EB218 concepts that references the longitudinal body seam of the Type 57SC Atlantic. The Gabilier will be most likely one of if not the most luxurious cars in the world, with interior features such as an analog clock which mounts in the dash until you are ready to exit the vehicle when you would then attatch it to the band on your wrist and it then becomes a watch.[2][3]Powertrain
