Bugatti’s jumping onto the high-po four-door bandwagon, as its parent company Volkswagen has approved its Galibier concept for production, according to Automotive News [sub]. Initial specs: 1,000 HP and a $1.4m pricetag. All other questions should be directed to the video above.

This looks so much nicer than a Veyron, but why 1000 HP ? I'd be perfectly happy with a 500HP one. It is supposed to feature light-weight construction , so it shouldn't need a monster engine.
OK, those headlamps are really creeping me out. They seem to be staring at me from every angle.
I wonder if Lance Armstrong will buy one.

Good thing they're not trying to promote the thing with overly pretentious "teaser ads"...... *g So what will this thing be based on? Panamera? Phaeton? I guess it won't be the Passat, or ...wait..... will it.....? The problem, on a more serious note, is utterly obvious here and has already been mentioned above. Whatever the thing will be priced at, it'll always be a rather bland-looking Volkswagen, with Volkswagen technology underneath, and the reputation of being a Volkswagen-Bugatti. It'll be for those new-rich people who don't really have taste and a real understanding for heritage, but who'll instead buy anything if it's just flashy and shiny and pretentious enough so they can hope for making some sort of impression on those bystanders who are equally clueless. Pretentious. This thing is the embodiment of that word's definition.
