The Rapper's Dream Car Bugatti Galibier

Bugatti 16C Galibier
Bugatti has finally revealed to us its new four-door supercar concept just beore the Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for past customers and Bugatti-intenders. We have been referring to the French super car as the Bordeaux, but the actual car is called the Galibier. The Galibier was named after a strenuous
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.


A powerful eight-liter W16 powerplant is the source of the Galibier's excitement. Unlike the mill thrusting the Veyron to outlandish speeds, this particular version is mounted up front and is capable of running on ethanol fuel, which may allow Bugatti to unleash more horsepower out of the engine.



The Galibier's top speed is reported at 217 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour). This is less powerful than the Veyron, but still one hell of a ride! OH YEAH! The price tag is around a whopping $1,000,000.
