The Galibier has been with us for a few years now in concept form, but the super sedan has failed to gain the approval of Bugatti brass. Part of that is down to the car’s not-quite-right interior and performance, while changes in leadership – Bugatti has had three CEOs in as many years – has also prevented the Galibier from moving forward.
Wolfgang Schreiber, Bugatti’s current CEO and the man responsible for the Veyron, recently said in an interview with Motor Trend that he doesn’t believe there is enough room in the Bugatti portfolio for a super sports car and a super sedan. Moreover, Schreiber’s attachment to the Veyron project has him pining for another supercar rather than a four door that was designed under someone else’s watch.
Had the Galibier given the green light, it would have out-classed luxury vehicles like the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The news isn’t all bad for wealthy playboys, however, as it sounds as if Schreiber is keen for a second-generation of the Veyron. It remains to be seen how far along that project might be, but a car potentially better than the original Veyron has our interests piqued.
