Following the footsteps of the outrageous Veyron, the Galibier features a 16-cylinder motor in a W-configuration displacing a whopping 8.0 liters. And as if that wasn’t enough, engineers also slapped on dual two-stage superchargers – replacing the quad-turbocharger setup found on the Veyron. Official horsepower figures have not been disclosed, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a number approaching 1,000 hp.
Bugatti says the car’s exterior is inspired by the torpedo-like Type 35, while also evoking cues from the Type 57.
Most of the structure is carbon fiber, but the doors and fenders make use of carefully sculpted aluminum. The interior, which has room for four, makes use of similarly exotic materials, albeit of a different variety. The cabin is adorned with the highest quality wood and leather, juxtaposed by an ultramodern LCD center console.
As mentioned, mechanical specifications and performance numbers have not yet been disclosed. Expect the Galibier to go on sale sometime in 2012 – with a price tag of approximately $1.6 million, according to Bugatti.
