Bugatti Galibier concept



Bugatti presented customers and opinion-makers with the Bugatti 16C Galibier concept last weekend in Molsheim, France. Intended to be the most exclusive, elegant, and powerful four door automobile in the world, it is one of several concepts the company is considering for the future of the marque.
Named after a four-door version of the Type 57 and one of the most difficult alpine passes along the Tour de France route, the Galibier is built from aluminum and handmade carbon fiber parts colored dark blue, communicating the core values of the Bugatti brand. The Galibier's design picks up on the torpedo-like character of the Type 35, which was already revived in the Veyron, and reinterprets it. The typical Bugatti radiator grille, big round LED headlights and a subtle spine running the length of the vehicle are synonymous with the brand identity created under Jean Bugatti in the Type 57.
The interior reflects the elemental design of the exterior. The dash panel has been reduced to the essential; two centrally located main instruments keep even the rear passengers informed of the actual speed and previous performance. Swiss watch maker Parmigiani created a removable Reverso Tourbillon clock for the Galibier, which may also be worn on the wrist.
