A Veyron for the school run
If you were thinking of buying the £890,000 Bugatti Veyron but were put off by the fact that it only had two seats, then worry no more, says Harry Metcalfe in The Sunday Times.
The Bugatti 16C Galibier is about to bring Veyron performance to the “relatively sedate world of saloons”.
Sedate no longer: the Bugatti has a “plain mad” top speed of 240 mph and reaches 60mph in less than three seconds. An exciting proposition, if you can lay your hands on the estimated £900,000 asking price.
Officially, it’s still a concept car, but Bugatti has revealed a fully functioning model, so if all goes well we can expect the green light in spring 2010 with sales beginning within three years, says Phil McNamara in Car.
Bugatti is back to what it does best: wonderful cars with an unhealthy dose of power, says Metcalfe. “Watch out in your rear-view mirrors for the arrival of the Galibier.”
The Bugatti Galibier has a hatchback rear, which adds to the practicality of the car and gives it a nice clean look, says Harry Metcalfe.
