Now this is a very interesting car. A very evocative design, elegant and tasteful. I think this is a gorgeous automobile and I am sure each one of them will sell as did the Veyron. Every detail is exciting; the lighted wheel emblems, the headlights, the double bonnet hood, the interior. Gorgeous! After looking again it almost looks like a classier Panamera.

They should make the grille pointy at the bottom and call it the Nite Owl. That’s right.. Nite Owl.

Not impressed. Looks like a Chrysler concept car from the late 1990’s.

Without Gold and Rubies, and Silver this is a $700,000 Car. Im a Hyundai guy,but if I got Rich Im getting me one of these just to have one!!!! Considerng Im a Value for Money Hyundai guy, Im sorry but for $1.6 Million Dollars I demand to have rare minerals in my interior!!! Everything should be a touch screen, even the gauges. Give me Veryron contrasting interior colors, obscene materials that can get me shot by PETA like an Al-Paca dash cover. We can even be nice to PETA and get a Leopard or Lion fur seatbelt cover, by just shaving Leopards or Lions.

I expect a 21st Century Dussenberg for this kind of Money!!!

Screw you Guys this thing is sooooooooooooooooooo sweet, and it needs some interior Chrome, Silver, Gold, Diamonds, Rubies or something. That Interior is bland enough to be almost like an Economy car. Ewww only, Wood and Leather, how Traditional, and ewww, so old person!!! Not befitting of a $1.6 Million technological showpiece!!!

Put some real lightweight marble in there.

Only a dip**** like Bankruptcy would compare a $1.5M+ car to a Corvette ZR1 in an effort to make the Chevrolet that costs 1/15th of it’s price and embarrasses any Mustang (sorry, I like Ford too, I even own stock, but grow up) look stupid. Only on LLN.

So how long before I can get no-name Chinese replicas of those headlights on eBay for $12.95?

Nah…this is a decepticon. All the brands that Bob Lutz is jealous of are decepticons and get destroyed in the movies (i.e. Ford and Audi)

look at the headlamps, it’s clearly an Autobot.

The shape is controversial, of course….but the details! Oh, the details! That is one incredibly exquisite piece of machinery.

ACtually what I meant to say and your right your Right BM-Big Man The Bugatti 16 C Galibier would be beating the hell out of a second rate Muscle car in the corvette ZR1. I meant to say it Super as in Super Stinks and Sucks.

well, so much for the arabs, they’re not going to buy it without the shiny parts.

Haha, what do you get when you put 8 tailpipes and 4 more cylinders in a dramatically styled Bentley? Yup you’re lookin at it. Look at that back of it

Bugatti did an excellent job with the details of the car–very beautiful. But I must say: It just doesn’t seem to have the presence of the Veyron…or even the Phantom for that matter. I’ll withold final judgment until I see one in person.

well, I guess black and tan has always been quite a luxurious combination. this Galibier is taking itself very seriously..

^^ They figured out where to cut the car in half, and then put a line there.

Amazing. I like the 63 stingray rear split window cues that carry over the whole vehicle top, even in the windshield. How did they do that?

i agree with most on here. the polished ( not chrome! ) aluminium of the first concept was a bit too much bling for my liking, this combination is wonderful, fantastic car !

Wow….Art. The interior is amazing. I kinda like the 8 exhaust ports, excessive but unique and very intimidating; Over all i like it much better in black its sleek lookin and those headlights look so mean, if i saw those speeding up behind me id be like WTF. Bugatti has a win here…now if only i could win the lotto…

From above, it looks surprisingly like a vintage VW Beetle.

I liked the chrome.

What it needs is some sharper character lines or creases to not make it so round and bubble looking. The eight exhaust “ports” are a little obsessive and make the rear end look worse than it is too. Two max on each side.

I love those eyes…I mean headlights…they are amazing! Who ever designed them should get a raise! This car is ART!! So much attention to the little details! It’s…WOW!!

Love the headlights. Scary looking. Don’t like the body though, especially the back end. There’s no end point to it. Way to round. Bring back the Veyron.

Is it me or this thing looks like Panamera with extra cylinders?

is it heretical to suggest the back end of the panamera looks better? or a 928S4? the front end and interior are amazing, for sure, but its just so round back there…

By: Stinky007

Aaaah, much better now. The first one looked tacky as hell with it’s tacky combination of “cheap azz Passat standard blue” and opulent amounts of chrome. Yes, much better!
