Default Bugatti planning a four-door ultra-luxury sedan with 950 hp . . .



Bugatti is planning a four-door ultra-luxury sedan with a 950 horsepower engine, according to the latest issue of Dutch car magazine Autovisie. Only slightly less powerful than its 1000hp sibling — the Veyron — the new model will have a coupe-like profile, similar to the Mercedes CLS-Class and Porsche Panamera, the report said. Citing “extremely reliable” sources, the magazine said the $1 million+ sedan could arrive in the next four years. The aim of the project is to create an “extraordinary mix of a car and pure art,” the source said. The source further said rumors that Bugatti might build a five-figure entry-level roadster are nonsense.

i certainly hope the production version doesn't look like that. if i had a million in my wallet burning a hole, that is NOT the first thing i would think of spending it on.

LOL knew the rumor of a 4-banger roadster was pure garbage.

Wow now THAT is a car that screams absolute supremacy, more so than even the Phantom.
And with the price tag of over a million, one can buy 3 Phantoms with that money.
Absolutely astonishing if not evil looking (Darth Vadar may look right at home in it).

When you really got to drop the kids off to preschool very very quickly, I guess this car will do.

If the car comes with Alfred Pennyworth as my driver and a batsuit in the trunk, I might consider it...

I think of early to mid 19's classic car style. The body the lines, the front....its all old school, really old school.

Exactly. Since Bugatti is such a classic brand that shined mostly in that era, I don't see what's so wrong with styling their new car with a distinctively classic outfit.

Wow, $1 Million for a sedan. It better be the most luxurious, technological advanced and highly dependable/reliable vehicle in it's class. Actually it would be the only vehicle in it's class...

Bugatti - Above Everyone Else

Another stupid product from VolksWagon - they are so lost and have their priorities so mixed up...........

Interesting in concept, but at the expense of other things that VW needs to attend to in-house first.

I don't see what's so wrong about producing a mechanically similar Bugatti sedan when they already spent tons of development money and time on the coupe. This will only lower the overall cost for VAG, not raise it. Sure the idea of developing the Veyron 16.4 coupe was financially stupid for VAG in the first place, but since it's already done and out the door, they might as well reap what they sowed as fully as possible.
