Not very beautiful, yet a very impressive car.

What's with the Panamera saloons!?!?! Can't they be more original? It looks like a stationwagon... The front looks like an Audi.

Thumbs down from me I was so looking forward to this.

The profile of this car is developed from EB112 which was launched well before the Porsche even thought of Panamera and Porsche designers also copied many details of this style for Panamera. So this car is a pure Bugatti and was designed taking in consideration brand's heritage.

This car is only one of three concepts to study the customers' interest and tech innovations for company's future elaboration process.

With all that said I hope that this car will not be launched as a production car. I do not see a market for this car. 4-door car means to be practical, supercar means passion. I do not see anyone will drive EUR 1.8M car as a daily driver and I do not see anyone will use a 4-door car as a supercar.

I really hope with passion that among the other concepts left there is a real hypercar which will make Veyron look obsolete - lightweight with even higher power-to-weight ratio.

BTW, I was expecting to see more powerfull Veyron as a conclusion of Centenary celebration process.

I bet if you are willing to DD a Phantom you would be willing to DD this.

While the Galibier seems to be getting a lot of slack here, it certainly looks better than the EB218 and EB112 before it.

EB218

EB112

Dude, you just insulted the EB112. It was a Giugiaro masterpiece, hugely impressive, lots of presence, supremely classy and sophisticated (in looks). It looks money. Nothing like this brash and vulgar super-sedan.





More a fan of the EB118 myself, though.

I have to disagree so much. The previous designs were so perfectly 90s Giugiaro, hugely impressive in a subdued way. Rolls Phantom "impressiveness" with 90s italian styling. Splendid. In comparison the Galibier looks fat and vulgar. BigMac'ish.
